Embed yourself into the agency.

Be the pitch bitch.

Share your ideas.

If you can’t crack it, they won’t.

Test yourself.

PowerPoint is your best friend. Learn it. Then stop using it.

Culture. Where you get it.

Your interests, however embarrassing or niche, are what make you interesting. Keep doing them.

You don’t have to be the smartest person in the room. Just be right.

Put in the long, late hours. Become part of the agency. Be the pitch bitch. Steal the line. Share the line. Crack the idea. Test yourself. Learn PowerPoint. Then forget it. Know culture to dent it. Read the weird shit. Keep doing what makes you different. Just be right.

Cheers.
