What does it mean to be a marketing specialist?

If I've begun working in-house for a start-up as a marketing specialist, will it be hard for me to switch to an Agency down the line?

  • I've worked as an intern in an agency, and would like to be able to join one later on, if I move. Right now, I'm a big part of the marketing team for a Philadelphia start-up, but in the future I'm wondering what my options will be.

  • Answer:

    You should be fine.  People move in and out of advertising fairly often.  If you're looking at entry level or near-entry level positions the bigger challenge might be your location.  Although there are certainly agencies in Philly it is not nearly as large of an advertising market as New York or Chicago.

You should be fine. Demonstrable experience is what all parties want. The only thing of working client side vs agency side is the lack of wider experience you *may* not have when jumping across. Use the time and position to grow your experience and profile.

From my experience and looking at other industry leaders, it is more usual to go from an agency to the client side, rather than vice versa
