Is a lighter workload at a digital marketing agency not a good sign, especially when other teams are busy?

Enjoy your slow time. Learn something new. There's always work to be done past just fulfilling client needs.

good to know!

Ask to help out with pitches. Great experience, high profile in front of the agency overlords, and keeps you valuable. Just expect longer hours.

I have offered! Work in paid social

Wether it’s bad or not depends on how long, extended period of time. Not good. Short period of time could just be the kick between projects and staffing needs at that moment. If it’s long term or frequent, I would be worried. If not, enjoy the time but do something that is productive for both you AND the agency to make sure that you’re showing your not coasting. It’s all about optics.

I agree with the comments above. Enjoy this slow time while you have it.
