Anything in media/account because there's so much grunt work required...all you really need is an interest and the ability to speak coherent in an interview

Media is probably the easiest to get into and has the most entry-level roles available, but warning - once you’re in it’s hard to get out and switch to something else!

Wrong! I’m not attractive and was a media buyer.

Media or account - every agency needs them so there are always a lot of openings

Agree with the above! I started with no ad experience or relevant school as an AAE and switched to a junior producer role after a year as an AE (6 months later and fishbowl still hasn’t verified the title change)

Strategy / junior planner. It’s the only job where you can just make up a bunch of impressive sounding BS in an interview and get a job instead of having to go to school for a specialty program (accounts and creative).

Oglivy 1 Are you referring to the ad agencies of the 50s and by “specialty programs for account” you’re referring to a typing school for women? What year are you in?

I wouldn't look at easy I'd look at what's got a future. The digital execution side feels like it's got legs. The analytics/data side has the most transferable skills to build. A data engineer or an analyst is good wherever
