Just ask questions at the end about the agency’s vision for the future and stuff. Even if you don’t care, ask questions.

I always ask “what makes the culture here different-better or worse, from other places you’ve worked?

Forget how much you love them and be objective. What do you want to do for them? What do they need from you? Is it the same? Is the work great but the atmosphere awful? Do they collaborate well or work in silos?

If all goes well you will be there for a while, so you have to ensure the role will make you happy. Interviewing your interviewer is a great way to find out.

Ask the interviewer what their favorite ad campaign is that currently out there and why? Be prepared to be asked that question back. Questions about agency culture go a long way as well. Also be yourself.
