If it’s a big PR firm name, I can’t see how it’ll hurt you, since they also work on some pretty big clients. I’ve seen many friends start from PR like Edelman and move on to big agencies. So it’s def doable!
What work do you like that a PR firm has done? You’ll want to make sure you’ve got a clear understanding of what it is they contributed. Sometimes PR firms have things on their roster that they helped amplify but didn’t necessarily come up with
I’m gonna be straight with you: PR is silly and bad and a waste of your time. That’s sometimes also true of advertising, but less.
PR is mostly working with influencers, and the occasional stunt. It’s also way more account-driven than advertising. A really good / famous / award winning stunt will probably impress folks in the ad world, but overall I think it’s easier to go between the two worlds when you’re very early in your career or very senior.
I went to a big name PR firm after 1 year at a well-known agency and it was a big mistake. I wasn't getting to do the work they'd promised in the interview and I was miserable. It was hard to get interviews at other big agencies now that I had PR on my resume. I ended up asking my old agency to take me back and I was lucky they did. Even though I'd only been gone 8 months it took me years to get fully back on track. If you want to go for it I'd say talk to people who'll be at your level to find out what kind of work they do and have a very clear idea of what you want to get out of it, whether that's work or experience.
