Be prepared that their main concern will be your ability to concept campaigns.

Have solid conceptual work in your book and be able to talk about how you got to it. If you have none of that work in your book, try to come off genuinely interested in learning how to get stronger conceptually.

Good luck! YOU CAN DO IT

thank you!!

Say that you love the aesthetic side of the business but you’re also passionate about the conceptual side too. As you become a more experienced thinker, your point of difference will be that you’ll be an art director with a strong design sense (and design is now more important in advertising than it’s ever been)

Phew! I feel like hiring you now.

So glad I impressed you! This job is actually brand side but I think the same thing applies.
