    SAN FRANCISCO --

    Global creative agency the community has opened its first office on the West Coast, setting up shop in San Francisco. The new office is being led by managing director Julie Liss and chief creative officer Mark Sweeney. Owned by Publicis Groupe, the community is headquartered in Miami, also maintaining offices in Buenos Aires, New York and London.

    “A West Coast operation has always been part of our vision. It’s such a great market and I’m excited about all the great work we’ll be able to do from there” said José Mollá, co-founder (with Joaquin Mollá) and chief creative officer at the community.

    This development comes on the heels of four consecutive years of 20%+ growth for the community, which has expanded with new offices in New York and London in the last year alone.

    “I couldn’t be more pleased about opening our doors in San Francisco, a city which sets the standard for innovation” adds Luis Montero, president of the community. “This new location will help us deepen the value we provide to our Bay Area clients, as well as open up new opportunities on the West Coast.”
