Just saw a job posting for an AAE role at Leo Burnett. I studied advertising at CU Boulder and always thought I’d go directly to an agency, but ended up accepting a job in-house for an offer I thought sounded great. It’s been over a year and I’m thinking I want to switch over. Does anyone have any tips on getting into the agency world after having been in-house? Also any insight on Leo Burnett would be great. Thanks!

Think long and hard before jumping over to agency. More likely than not you’ll be looking to make the switch back in 10 years or less.

AAE at a place like Leo is brutal. you’re taking notes and managing files for a year+ before you get to do anything interesting
