7 Agency Founders Explain Their Top Strategic Decisions
Adweek’s shortlisted shops for Breakthrough Agency of the Year spill their secrets. Emily Siegel: From day one, it’s been all about investing [in] our people. Something we’re thinking a ton about is what we do at the end of the year: Do we have profits that we can invest back in the organization? It’s top of mind right now that we’re really trying to put as much as we can—just like we always have done—back into our team, because if they feel fulfilled, if they feel like they’re part of the story, if they feel supported, then they [can] do the best work. They want to show up every day with energy and they want to come back. Our retention rate is super high. The results have been clear. We have a fantastic culture that we just continue investing in, and that’s been key to our success.

We partner with ambitious brands because we're a team, not a tugboat. We can reach our maximum potential only with partners that desire reinvention, scale, and impact. Our clients rely on us as a strategic partner to keep their brand and their business moving in the right direction. With deep commitment to creativity and innovation, we collaborate with small and impactful companies and Fortune 500s alike.
