I’ve been in the Ad world for 7ish years with mostly big agency experience. I’ve got a decent book but no awards. Like… not even a Webby. Any tips for interviewing at super award-hungry shops? Not sure if it’s better to acknowledge the fact that I’m lacking but have a major desire to win some, or just zip it and hope they don’t notice or care.

Strategies for getting a job at Wieden + Kennedy:

1. Create a competitive shop that will steal all of their clients in the future, forcing them to acquire you today.
2. Become friends with every person at the agency and have them all refer you on the same day.
3. Just win all of the awards.
4. Start showing up to their office with big ideas, and complain about HR not being able to find you in the system occasionally.
