Any tips for finding associate strategist roles or any junior roles for someone who’s only had one internship in an agency (so not that many connections)? LinkedIn feels hopeless and idk if (or how) I should cold message recruiters…
Thank you in advance 🙏

Agencies don't really hire strategists at this level. Look for social media roles or junior account roles to get in the door. I would lean toward social media because you're engaging with customers and learning about their behavior.

Thank you so much for the advice!!

Personal anecdote, but I don't know anyone that's succeeded as a strategist that's started as an associate/junior. Go do something else with your life and come back with that perspective.
