Does everyone work for an agency here? Does anyone work for a single private brand? If so, do you notice that you have a lot of downtime where you have to pretend to be working so your manager feels like you’re needed?

One of the biggest challenges in early career is time and priority management - most comments on fishbowl seem to be directed at being over worked and not having enough hours in the day, to which the answer is prioritization of tasks and ensuring that you remove something before you take anything else on - and working with your manager on that prioritization to ensure you’re aligned.

In your case, I would take the same approach, let your manager know that you’re on top of your tasks and have capacity to take on more - be it within your field or in lateral areas where you might be able to expand your skillset. Be careful not to tip it the other way, but be proactive and public about managing your workload, rather than hiding it.

Ask your manager if there is anything you can take more on your plate. Your manager should have other tasks in mind. If she or he doesn't have any, spend your time wisely on self studying. Programing languages, tools, etc... Make sure to focus on how you would utilize these to improve your work
