Start by building a portfolio of spec work. Redesign a billboard, write witty taglines, or film a 15-second TikTok spot. Use free tools like Canva or CapCut. Next, network like a pro. Hit up LinkedIn or local ad clubs, message junior creatives for quick coffee chats, and ask for advice, not jobs. Internships are gold, even unpaid ones. Apply for entry-level roles like junior copywriter or media assistant. Highlight transferable skills: writing, organizing, retail persuasion. Offer to run social media for a small business in exchange for a testimonial. Agencies crave curiosity and grit over résumés.
