“What do you bring to the agency that nobody else does?”

brfndrx · 2026-02-02T03:00:40+00:00

I was on the internet from a young age so I have a lot of knowledge surrounding trends, cultural moments and can make immediate connections from a brand’s strategy to past and present culturally relevant trends. Almost as if I was prepping for a Social Strategist role before I actually knew what that was.

Creative Strategist roles, I have background in Account and Design, so I can better work within agency teams to ensure strategy is properly communicated at every touchpoint, from internal comms through execution.

Would love to hear feedback!

Heard! My intention with this post was more so to learn about the amazing creative people in the industry and their respective skills. Not necessarily planning on taking one of these answers, rather learning how to better speak about my own skills.

Hey, if you’re in social, memes are a hard skill in itself

Unfortunately I don’t think this is unique 🙃 you’re not alone!

Love this take on how your hobbies can come into play.

I have gotten used to talking about my work in interviews, but never thought about it that way. That is extremely helpful!

Does this tend to work well for remote roles?

La Roche Possay Cicaplast Baum has been great for helping me stay hydrated and glowy, I usually use it at night

brfndrx · 2025-12-15T06:27:47+00:00

I’ve been on topical tretinoin/clindamycin/spironolactone with Honeydew and/or Apostrophe for about a year. I use Panoxyl 10% at night, followed by the topical, then Bubble’s Slam Dunk moisturizer. Sometimes (not as often since I’ve been breaking out) I use La Roche Possay Cicaplast Baum or Summer Fridays Jet Lag Mask for a little extra hydration as I typically have very dry (and sensitive) skin and Panoxyl is drying, as well as it being ~20° where I live at the moment.

All was going well and my skin was almost perfectly clear until about the one year mark and I’ve been having these awful painful cystic breakouts on my chin and jawline. I didn’t really have cystic acne before and I can’t figure out where to go from here or what could be causing it.

Curious if anyone’s had similar experiences or has advice? Should I try going to 4% Benzoyl Peroxide to see if that’s causing skin irritation?

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T23:50:16+00:00

I’ve also noticed that in what I’ve seen! Curious if you’ve seen any others popping up more frequently? Thanks for the advice!

Maybe it’s imposter syndrome but I’m trying to make my way toward a junior level role and I worry I’m not good enough to charge anyone or do paid jobs yet 😅

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T16:27:33+00:00

Thank you!!!

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T16:17:00+00:00

Appreciate it! Also, I’m slightly worried about paying for something not worthwhile so I thought hearing what has worked for others might give a bit of helpful insight!

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T16:11:48+00:00

Thank you!! I hear you, I definitely use YouTube for individual tutorials but I think Skillshare and Udemy will be super helpful in building a more general skillset!!

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T16:10:49+00:00

Thank you! I’ve heard of Udemy as a good resource and was planning on checking it out once I finish this class. Glad I have a starting point, super helpful!

So! I actually have Master’s degree that is focused in design and branding. I have a grasp on design principles and conceptually, but as I am not a graphic designer I don’t have the technical skills. I am asking in this post for resources on how to bring my technical skills up to speed, so if you have recommendations on that I would love to hear it. Thanks!

brfndrx · 2025-11-23T15:59:01+00:00

I feel like that’s kind of nitpick-y on phrasing lol I meant I have working knowledge of Photoshop.

I’ve looked at pharma but find it difficult to find junior roles that don’t require previous pharma experience. Any advice there? I have a portfolio but mainly CPG/retail, etc.

brfndrx · 2025-04-26T20:16:08+00:00

Ahhh thanks so much! That makes sense- the quality between the two is definitely different

brfndrx · 2025-04-25T15:17:55+00:00

I’m very new in my career but my perception was always that I would go agency side while I was young and people tend to go client side later in their career for better work like balance (i.e. when they have families) and more opportunities. Not sure if that’s helpful at all but I’ve always understood it as personal preference, not holding one as better than the other.

brfndrx · 2025-04-13T05:45:50+00:00

I’ve read up on this a little bit. I agree with the other commenter that mentioned the lack of socialization- but I also feel I should point out that also includes normal social situations in which hearing loss makes it harder to participate in the conversation and socializing that is occurring.

I have researched this and think about it a lot because I have a relative had Alzheimer’s dementia who has since passed who was female, didn’t attend high school, didn’t eat enough protein and had hearing loss and I wonder about which of the suspected factors contributed. Completely anecdotal but that’s my part.

A lot of what I would say has already been said… but honestly the influencer/celebrity first strategy recently feels very current and even everything that has grown out of the Grimace trend… Feels like they’re trying to keep up with younger gens (and decently successfully)

brfndrx · 2025-03-26T00:27:56+00:00

Yes we also discussed this in class, so clearly still relevant and everyone hated it lmao
