Five fantastic reasons to work in a digital agency

Working like others do in their free time?

What makes working in an agency environment special? When I ask other designers in agencies this question, I hear a lot about a feel-good environment, a stylish loft office, table football, free beer and a games paradise, barbecues on the agency's own roof terrace, an office dog and a relaxed boss at eye level. There is a lot of it, some of it is perhaps just internal marketing and some is just icing on dry bread. But: The most important argument for working on the agency side for me is:

Keyword: Passive learning

What is often forgotten between the amenities, dream salaries and independence: Working also means learning - training never ends and our working environment is developing rapidly. So where could we learn more in our own field than by working directly with our peers? Hardly any other working environment is as rich in experts in your field as an agency. Here, your peers and closely related professions come together in a creative, sometimes colorful, sometimes minimalist but always mutually stimulating pool. - In the shared offices, there is always a problem that someone is trying to solve and almost always someone who provides the answer. And when conventional thinking gets stuck, creative ideas hop across the table between table tennis sessions. In short, a creative agency is a fertile and productive breeding ground in which you can develop yourself and from which you can learn in a wide variety of ways.

Think digital

When we leave the office in the evening and enter it again in the morning, not only has the earth moved on considerably, but numerous technical innovations, updates, trends and new demands have also emerged. What gives many companies a stomach ache is your daily work: working in a digital agency means not only experiencing digitalization, but also helping to shape it and thus providing other companies with advice and support. Not necessarily easy, but always exciting and, above all, you stay on the ball.

Communication at eye level

While working on the client side in a company requires a lot of education and clarification among your own colleagues, the employees of an agency speak a common language. They understand your role, your strengths and the effort and value of your results. We conceptualize and design innovations together for our clients and their target group. This interplay between the internal creative and development team and the individual clientele makes a good agency a bubbling source of creative, technical or strategic excellence.

Generalist in a wide field or specialist?

Would you like to develop and grow in many ways? Try out yourself and your creative ideas, set trends, anticipate them and go with them? As part of an agency, you will almost inevitably:

• develop a colorful and diverse portfolio of your own
• poke your nose into a wide variety of projects
• meet the full bouquet of characters
• be part of short and long projects
• as well as unconventional approaches, classic design and technical solutions
• gain lots of experience and discover new talents within yourself
• Gain a glimpse behind the scenes of your customers
• Get to know the structures, mindset, business models and markets of other companies

My personal goal is to learn something new every day, to constantly improve and to face digital change with an open and curious mind. This ambition ultimately led me to a small digital agency.

Upwards and onwards

However, the question of generalist or specialist not only affects you today, but also determines your future career planning. A broad range of experience is valuable and useful in order to be able to work in different fields later on. In addition, agencies often offer early and easy promotion opportunities right from the start. Both within the same agency and when moving to another. If you have the know-how, you can switch agencies seamlessly at any time. Be it for logistical reasons, to take a new step personally or to take on a new position of responsibility or salary.
