I often get asked what working at an advertising / marketing agency is like, and so here is my honest take based on my experience. I will first talk about the structure of a creative marketing shop, the main teams that are involved from account services, strategy and creative. Then, I talk about the working culture, what my hours are like, and what the general environment is like. And yes, the stereotypes are true. Last, I talk a bit about why I chose this career route straight out of university, what the main learnings are if you choose to enter this industry and what my favorite part of work is.

We definitely are not saving lives, but advertising is a very thought-provoking and forward-looking space, so if you someone who is naturally curious, likes fast-paced work and using creativity to solve problems, advertising could be a fit for you.

I am happy to be of help and answer other questions about career, so please comment below if you have other ones in mind!
