Team One, an advertising agency based in Los Angeles, California, is a division of Saatchi & Saatchi.[1][2] It was founded in 1987 and focuses on luxury products and services.

History

Team One has a staff of more than 400, including offices in Chicago, New York, Atlanta, and Washington, D.C.[3][4] Originally based in El Segundo, it moved to Los Angeles, in 2014.[4][5] The relocation of its main offices was described in a Los Angeles Business Journal article as part of the establishment of that street as a west coast analogue of Madison Avenue—home to many of the region's advertising agencies.[4]

As of June 2015, Julie Michael is president of Team One; she has been with the company since 1998.[6]

Team One has been names an AdAge Best Places To Work in 2024 and 2026.[7]

Notable campaigns

Noteworthy Team One advertising campaigns include:

Virtual Reality Lab

Team One executives launched an in-house VR Lab in April 2016[25] focusing on experimentation and exploring the best way to tell brand stories through VR.[26][27]

The Legacy Lab

Legacy Lab is a consulting practice launched by Team One in 2012 that researches brand endurance.[28] The Lab has researched brands including The Bluebird Cafe, It Gets Better Project,[29] Girls Who Code,[30] The Ritz-Carlton,[31] The Championships, Wimbledon[32] and Taylor Guitars[33] and publishes many of its findings online.[34] Mark Miller, Founder of The Legacy Lab, co-authored Legacy In The Making[35] that offers a blueprint for building enduring brands in a short-term world. The book won the 2020 American American Marketing Association Leonard L. Berry award and was named a Forbes Top Ten Business Books. In 2023, The Legacy Lab launched the award-winning Legacy In The Making Docuseries in partnership with Fast Company.[36]

In 2016, The Legacy Lab received a Jay Chiat Award from the American Association of Advertising Agencies for its redesign work for Me & the Bees.[37]
