Cool thanks for the info everyone! Working on freelance to hire situation now and have had some solid interviews so fingers crossed!

That’s not really how networking works in this business. Especially not in NYC. You meet people on the job.

I know that’s not the answer you’d like to hear, but it’s the truth.

Most meetups are full of interns, the real people are working. So informational interviews are a better use of time. Talk to Kay&Black.

👆 how does one talk to key&black? I messaged them 4-5 times and silence. They ghosted me before I ever signed up 😁

Yes. You have to get someone to introduce you.

I tried kay blavck many times, they just answered me when someone introduced me.

There are some NYC advertising groups on Facebook! Also ask a producer or rep where the events are at
