Work closely with the strategists on your accounts, add real value to their work, show that you think strategically, and then, when the time is right, voice your interest to them. They'll raise your name when opening pop up.

Honestly, you're junior enough that it won't be difficult. Show you have a passion for it and a clear understanding of the value and process from your experience working with that department. See if a senior or higher will mentor you in the meantime, but don't let it affect your actual work. While I think you could transition anywhere at your level, it will be slightly easier at your current agency if they value you as an employee because you've already proven yourself to them.
