I just added people from agencies I liked on LinkedIn and sent them a message saying, “hey, I’ve got my eye on such and such agency and I’m curious if you have any insight on what they look for in a creative.” Got me a headstart on getting the job I have now
Reach out on LinkedIn. Send a thoughtful note. I’d choose people who actually do the work from the agency that you like, so you can specifically reference the projects and not just a blanket statement about the agency. I’ve gotten those and usually ignore them. But people who take the time to research stand out.
Truth is, advertising creatives are notoriously unfriendly about cold reach-outs. I’m not sure why, but that’s the way it is. The best thing you can do is go to a lot of industry events. Sign up for OneClub, go to happy hours, meet face to face. ECDs always complain about juniors emailing them. I think it’s ridiculous since these kids just want a job, but it is what it is.
