Welcome to another episode of The Vault, our exclusive newsletter on Substack and podcast, where we share the secrets to breaking into and thriving in advertising. Over the years, I’ve interviewed more than 300 agency professionals, asking them one central question: How do you break in and thrive in this industry? These conversations have included founders and leaders from agencies like Mischief, TBWA\Chiat\Day LA, Droga5, and many others.
In this episode, I want to focus on PR—specifically, the importance of promoting yourself to break into advertising and succeed and grow within the field. When done effectively, self-promotion can help you land the ideal first job and open doors for promotions and pay raises throughout your career.
This will be a casual, focused discussion. I’ll share my story and outline actionable ways you can start PRing yourself, no matter where you are in your career journey.
