Hey, just ask and tell them you're interested!

Reach out and ask. Specially if the company boasts about “keeping talent in-house and being open about movement”.

To the case question, they probably know the background if they let you go because of COVID right? So explain clearly and succinctly the story and why you’d like to apply for this role which was in line previously and an opportunity to bring your skill sets back into the company.

Best of luck!

Depends... If it's a position above yours you might not get it. Those usually work if it's a different department.

Hi all, I was curious about companies that have their own in-house advertising. I’m in digital media, specifically, SEM and potentially looking to leave the agency side. Primarily due to low pay, and management issues. Given this, any company recs that have a solid foundation with digital media? Any advice from people who’ve been on both the agency and branded side?

Advice/suggestions please:
Let’s say you were interviewing for a global client lead role - at the holding co level - for one of WPP, Omnicom or IPG.

What questions would you ask in the interview phase?
What concerns would you have?
If you had your pick of essentially the same role at all three of those holding companies which would you pick? Or not pick?

If you have any insight/two cents you up for sharing to help me out, thank you!
