Westport is a Fairfield County town on Long Island Sound, about 48 miles northeast of New York City, with 27,141 residents at the 2020 census. Its economy has shifted toward finance, insurance and professional services; Bridgewater Associates is the largest employer, and BNY Mellon and Terex also have a presence in town. That mix, together with proximity to Manhattan, means local agencies often work with consumer brands, financial and healthcare companies and national marketers as well as Fairfield County businesses. Westport's agency community is made up largely of independent shops covering branding, packaging design, paid media and integrated campaigns.
