Incredible culture and work - Anonymous employee LIFT Agency Employee Review

-THE PEOPLE. Wow. There is no place like LIFT. It was a joy to come into work everyday and spend time with some of SF's top creative & strategic talent. -Valued no matter your "level", wasn't a strict hierarchy of roles -Opportunities & mentorship given to all positions when asked for -Smaller team gives you more opportunity to explore where you want to grow within the company -Diversity of projects: there were opportunities for new projects coming in often, not just typical ad agency work. LIFT focuses on both one-off email/DM/social campaigns AND longer-term strategic work, presenting big new ideas to our clients -Well-respected by clients (many have been loyal for YEARS) -Many employees stick around, great longevity -Gorgeous office in the heart of FiDi in SF: views, natural light, fun & spacious -Good work/life balance. People worked out during lunch, loved hanging out during happy hours, didn't need to be "butt in seat" 9-5, but still had the expectation to get work done

-Need more diversity of clients (some are in similar industries/competitors) -Copywriting not as valued as design, some friction between creative & account teams-- can feel as though account leads talk down toward creatives at time. -CEO needs to step out of the nitty-gritty day to day ops and trust employees more

The design team seemed happy.

The director of tech was one of the worst people I've worked with in my career. Dismissive and rude. A poor communicator. Non-existent collaboration. Also rusty on new technology. Go somewhere else if you can.
