Really want to go client side. Any tips on how to get there coming from an agency with extensive media experience? One thing I keep seeing though that really deters me is having shopper marketing experience. We don’t do that at my agency. Thanks!

Just apply anyway!! You don’t need to check every box to get your foot in the door. Reach out to people in your network who work client side. Also keep in mind that titles are different client side (can be more junior) and don’t focus too much on that in your search. Look at the JD and see if it’s the right level for you.

Anyone coming from agency side will know more than people who’ve only ever been client side. Use that.

Things are apparently going to get better after a client will be leaving, I’ll get to work on different brands but I am feeling pretty burnt out from the agency I’m at. Will new clients help? Or should I look elsewhere. Been at the agency almost 3 years, I feel like I need to switch things up for my sanity.

Taking my shot in tech sales. Consulting was great experience but enjoyed the relationship and BD aspect more and didn’t see myself climbing to partner. Starting in a junior BD Rep role to learn prospecting and earn quota history. Took a big paycut for the potential future earnings as an Account Exec. Did I dun goof? Probably. But I’ll regret it forever if I didn’t take my chance now when I’m still single and young-ish.
