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.
