Starting my career at a small agency like Badger has been amazing. Our work is passion focused and aligns with our agency initiatives and values. From the start, I have felt valued and supported by my team and have been given responsibility and recognition that has pushed me to become better at my craft. I have already gotten great experience as a junior that I will continue to carry with me throughout the rest of my career. Since starting, I have worked on some of our biggest clients, and traveled with the team to shoots and editing sessions—which is something not every junior gets to experience at a bigger agency.
Cons
Long hours are sometimes required, but nothing out of the ordinary that you wouldn’t experience at any other agency.
Think Devil Wears Prada meets advertising - empowering on the surface, but toxic beneath. Leadership was driven more by ego than strategy, creating an unstable and unsupportive environment. Internal issues ran deep, including an expired tax ID and chronic disorganization.
