Junior and mid-level strategists… how client facing are you? Do you present to clients?

Generally for tactical projects, I’ll write and present a brief to clients with my senior on the call. For larger asks I’ll speak to the parts that I worked on but my senior owns the presentation.

Not sure if this is the norm, from what I’ve seen it’s really up to the team dynamic. I also have account experience and was extremely client facing then, so that may give my new team some confidence.

Have been client facing since I was a junior. When I was junior this meant presenting thinking and participating in the after discussion (with a director on the call with me for larger conversations I wouldn’t be aware of) now mid level I am presenting on my own and being more of a lead than before. Emailing clients, presenting at times by myself, being involved in client update and status meetings

Depends on the agency and account. If you are at a bigger agency on a bigger client, Juniors presenting will probably be in very controlled situations. Mids should be presenting their work, but it's really seniors+ that should handle the real banter and more pivotal POVs.

I present all the time for tactical work be it creative shares or strat approaches, while I’ve only had a handful for larger presentations with like 10 plus clients
