What’s the ethics around conflict of interest? I can see that you shouldn’t work for direct competitors directly (ie Delta and United), but what about agencies (ie Ogilvy and Publicis)? Or even by client (ie multiple agencies ok but you don’t handle Toyota with Ogilvy and Nissan at Publicis)? Assume it’s not explicitly stated contractually.

I work as a vendor for IPG and WPP.

I basically can’t approach a direct competitor (influencer agency, experiential, etc) of the agency I’m currently working with, and I can’t work with another pitch / project that my client is also in the running for. I can’t work against my client.

I keep a pretty open dialogue with my clients and I make sure to get them to approve via email that it’s OK to work with X.

Just be careful that you’re not sharing sensitive info when hopping around. That can bite you.
