I’ve been thinking of switching from Account to Creative since I started working in Advertising. I truly enjoy my job/agency but I feel that my true passion lies with Art Direction. I’ve worked at 3 big agencies with 4 years experience so I feel like I know what I’m getting myself into and how the role can vary from one agency to the next.
I’m interested to hear if anyone has switched and how you would recommend doing so? I’m looking into Miami Ad School for their 2 year portfolio program.
