- Similar to Vikki’s really - I got into the advertising industry as a Creative Services Assistant (basically the liaison between client and designers). I tried to meet as many clients as possible and was eventually given opportunities to go to amazing places across the world and present to them, met some great people and saw very cool places.I guess I did it by putting myself out there, even though it was outside of my job role and then being stubbornly persistent at it (ie consistently trying to get brought to client pitches and asking to be a part of them until eventually being allowed to lead them).
- @Vikki Ross Work hard and be nice to people is the best advice EVER 🙌
- My best experiences are the most unexpected - I assumed as a copywriter, I’d never leave my desk but I’ve been lucky enough to travel all around the world for work. And go on shoots. And meet celebs - even royals!My advice? Work hard and be nice to people: https://www.marketingsociety.com/the-library/work-hard-and-be-nice-people
