Hi friends, any agency editors gone from editing in house to art or creative directing? If so, how? I love editing, but I see myself in a more conceptual role down the road. Thanks for any insights y’all can provide ❤️

Have not seen or heard of this progression anywhere.

I know editors that went on to directing but not agency side CD.

I’ve seen senior editors go to creative director twice. Both times were at very small regional agencies that were pretty dysfunctional. I feel like they cleared that path each time because of a void in leadership and a bit of being an honorary title.

I’ve not seen an Editor become an art director or CD (though I’m sure it’s happened somewhere) but I have seen a number of editors go on to be directors, myself included!
