So I told myself I was gonna enroll in Miami Ad school come January if I didn't break into Strategy first. I did break in, at a creative agency, too (ignore my outdated title). But as an intern. And I'm doing comms instead of brand. Do you think the school is still worth doing? Or can I just be vocal with the comms people about my interest in brand? I said it in the interview. But don't want to seem too pushy/disinterested/entitled millennial etc

Don't do Miami ad unless you absolutely have to. It's nothing against it - but you already broke into strategy and on the job training will be much more valuable

Well I'd say as a planner what makes us better/special is our ability to think uniquely and to get people out of comfort zones. And your travel adventure sounds like it could be an enriching experience no matter the exact career outcome. But from a more pragmatic perspective I'd think you'd increase your chances of landing something abroad if you solidify your position here first - i.e. At least graduating out of intern

Not worth the money. Stay with the gig and buddy up to get your hands on more well rounded projects

Thanks! I agree- plot twist: I wanted to go to the ad school abroad. Cause I'm interested in working outside this NYC/US bubble. (Ik bizarre). Should I just bite the bullet and venture over without a solid job lined up? It would be a way smaller market so I'm hoping they think NY experience is cool.

Even more helpful! I appreciate it, Horizon!

To be frank, I don't value Miami Ad School that much on a resume. It's better than nothing, but not as good as a year or two holding the planner title.

Learn the comms strat work you are doing and ask for brand planning assignments after you've finished your day job responsibilities. Take the brand planning leadership out of coffee. Hustle.
