Starfish is a high-intensity, strategic, and creative intelligence agency. Entrepreneurial at 24, we are a tight team and a cordial bunch. Passionate about our craft, we collaborate to make sure the work has the perspective and insight it needs. Moreover, we win our fair share of awards, and our clients appreciate our attention to detail and hardworking nature.
That said, it’s not for everyone. It is, however, for those who want to be thoughtful, autonomous, and not so overly protective of their work that feedback or client asks don’t cause undue stress.
With a client roster spanning startups to non-profits, healthcare, professional services, tech, and consumer goods, some clients have greater demands and require more creative finesse. That’s not a euphemism for “Do what’s been asked of you and don’t ask questions.” What it is is understanding the client, the deliverable, and finding ways to make the work work. For some, that’s stifling. Having worked at large, mid-size, and small agencies, there is no perfect place. But if you find a place with good people, a visionary and fair-minded leadership, and people you like, try to stick around. Work is demanding, do your best, and if the place doesn’t align with your beliefs, needs, or creative soul, you can always jump ship.
