From my POV ( which ofc is probably limited comparatively ) they wanna see that you have award winning 360 campaigns in your book and that least some are social media driven.

For entry level..that's a high mark. Don't let these recruiters tell you lies. A good book is a good book. And that's enough

I agree, in advertising the role is relationship driven and doesn’t really inform the work. Not sure how you would be represented in a portfolio unless it behaves differently in an experiential agency.

Whenever I got promoted to digital ACD a few years ago, I noticed my pay was much lower than I expected for the market I’m in, hard to find skillsets, performance, and visibility I’ve brought to the agency. I’ve brought this up a few times and was told HR would do research into salary equity, but the convo always fades. I put my foot down with my GCD, and she supports me, but I would like to come to the table with my own research. Where should I be looking for accuracy?
