no it’s fine. just make sure it’s actually their agency (and preferably their team). and don’t ask for a fucking reference if you don’t know them.
i get a shit ton of messages for people A) asking for a reference without knowing me, B) for agencies that share my agency’s name, but is halfway across the country, or C) aren’t even in my department...like media and shit.
Do it but make sure you do your research first. Tell them why you want to work not just for the agency in general but for them in particular. Look at their portfolio site. Find something to love about the second to last campaign on the site and give them a true compliment about it (hint: those are the ones we know we should drop but love so much we can’t let them go)
Don’t bullshit. We can tell.

Do it. Worse that happens is they don’t respond.
