New York, San Francisco and Los Angeles have the largest concentrations, followed by cities such as Chicago, Austin, Portland and Seattle.
Do US agencies work with international clients?
Yes, most of them do. Check time-zone overlap and whether the team has worked in your market before.
How do we choose between a large and a small agency?
Large agencies offer more disciplines and capacity; smaller studios offer more senior attention. Choose based on the scope and how much of the work you want the agency to own.
