About R\West
High Touch.
High Impact.
Senior leaders on every account. Integrated teams that make your brand the one others chase.
Retention
One of our favorite R-words is retention. Our clients stay. Our people stay. Both at more than 2x the industry norm. Why? Another R: relationships. We pick them over egos, portfolio-padding, nickel-and-dime change orders, and rigid agency playbooks. Tight teams, mutual respect, real results. That’s how we row.
By the numbers.

story
Built to last,
made to swing
Founded in 1997 in Portland, OR as a small creative shop with an outsized appetite for the work, R\West grew by staying hungry and staying honest — adding New York and Amsterdam as the team grew and the work demanded it.
Today, 70 people across three cities partner with brands that want more than a vendor. The name itself is a reminder: the backslash between R and West is a swing for the fences — a little friction, a little grit, and a lot of heart.
Principles
Three words.
No shortcuts.
Grit
It’s handled.
We take ownership from day one.
Guts
Make the impossible a reality.
Our clients hire us for conviction,
not consensus.
Grace
Lead by the high road.
The process should feel as good as the result.
The TEAM
Meet the troublemakers.
Type savants, client whisperers, data geeks, idea-havers, deadline-killers, and a few quietly brilliant weirdos. We could be anywhere. We’re here on purpose.
LOCATIONS
Three cities. Zero silos.
DE&I at R\West
An operating principle, not a page.
We make space for voices the industry overlooks — in hiring, in partnerships, and in the rooms where the work gets made. See the full commitment.
Let’s build something.
A project, a job, a hello. Let’s talk.
