If I have nearly 5 years on the brand side, working on creative as well as brand marketing but only hold a junior standing on the agency side (creative) - am I really still just a junior creative?

I came from in house as well. But after your first agency job you'll catch up! It just takes an agency to hire you for other agencies to stop seeing you as only in house.

Five years client experience actually translates to negative five years agency experience. So give it another five years and you will THEN be a junior creative (technically speaking).

Theyre gonna make you work for it yeah. Your experience may be reviewing, editing and approving work but the creative experience comes from coming up with and executing concepts so while the experience is related it's still not a 1 for 1.

Thanks for the insight!

Any way I can leverage my in-house experience as a copywriter, however?

Yep. Soz.

Be thankful. I know we do a lot of bashing here (rightfully so, plus it can be fun!). But I always think about this crap agency I almost worked at when I was a junior and desperate to leave where I was at. everyday I'm happy I chose not to work there. Every place has its own issues, but you could be writing/designing coupons for furnace inspections and making 40k.
