A role I’m interested in is at an agency that clearly wants someone from a bigger client environment than mine. The work overlaps a lot, but I know brand names carry weight in advertising. Did anyone break through that and how did you position your experience so it landed?

You might be reading too much into it. A strong background matters more than the names on your resume. Don’t be discouraged and just keep trying for the jobs you want.
