R/GA Gets An Office In SF Plus…
February 22, 2008
So, R/GA is opening an office in San Francisco! Hot. Hmmm… and why would they do that? WE HEAR THAT… R/GA has won a brand spanking new account. The name of the client is being withheld, because apparently, the incumbent has no idea that they are on the shit end of the stick. Possible scandal! Love it!
Shall we guess? Um, they’re stealing from Goodby and it’s HP? Anyone want to give a guess, too?

did you break that before adage, adweek and creativity did? you’re becoming a regular nikky finke here, aren’t ya…

Wouldn’t HP compete with R/GA’s Avaya account?
Word on the street is that a certain wireless carrier from that same agency has been silently shopping around though…

If it’s going to be a large account, don’t you think it would be Microsoft? They’ve already got one foot out the door…

BS. I work at Goodby. Can’t get too specific, but I’m in a position to know that Sprint aint going anywhere anytime soon.

Uh what other companies are local to SF and might warrant an office? Maybe LEVI’S?

Just in time. Heard their office in London tanked that was supposed to support L’Oreal (which hates the bobster these days)

Levis? Ha,ha! I think I just peed a little.

Whoever it is, the deal seems to still be in flux. As far as I know, they have pushed back the opening date at least once.
And on top of that, the SF creative scene is tight. If they are pulling together a new group, where are they poaching from?

A bunch of people from AKQA are going for starters

Rodrigo, you clearly don’t know what you are on about, as I hear things from a number of folks the London office is far from tanking and actually doing rather well
