I got feedback that my background was strong but they wanted someone from a faster-paced agency environment, even though I have been handling multiple campaigns at once for years. Sometimes it feels like certain backgrounds get dismissed before people look deeper. Has anyone successfully broken through that bias?

I would just focus on the positive. You can't necessarily force people to change their bias, but you can talk about your own qualifications and why you feel like you're ready for a faster-paced environment.
