Don’t let
advertising ruin
your life.
You’re not
operating
on anyone.
You work at
a big name,
storied agency.
Get over it.
You work at a
small shop and
think you’re
not important.
Everyone is
just like you.
We're trained
to think clients
don't know what
a good idea is.
NOW THAT YOU KNOW
HOW THE INDUSTRY WORKS,
HERE’S HOW TO SUCCEED
IN ADVERTISING.
Be curious.
Be confident,
not cocky.
Always listen
and ask why.
Be collaborative.
Focus on what
you can control.
Have a clear
vision for what
you want to
accomplish.
Always
be honest.
Be a pro.
Thank You.
