Any advice on transitioning from the agency side to the client side? I’ve worked at agencies my entire career and I’m looking for a change.

I have done the transition more than once and you’ll need to to some soul searching on the culture change. Even the most progressive clients will be very different from what you’ve experienced. If it’s not to get deeper experience in a specific vertical, I would say reconsider. You’ll need to either be deep in an industry or have a more broad capability to even get a shot at a conversation. That’s been my experience.

Not sure my experience is relevant as a creative- but I’ve gone client side once in the past and am again client side now. It’s AMAAAAAZING. Both times. Just way less bullshit and more togetherness. Less rounds of approval. Genuine friendships w coworkers and fellow creatives. Client side is now my holy grail.

Thanks sooo much for this feedback. Everyone’s experience will be different. I just want the opportunity for myself at this point in my career.

I have been talking to several client side companies so this is a very exciting time. Fingers crossed.
