The beginning.

We kicked off our agency tours with a visit to Wieden+Kennedy NYC. They opened their doors to 108 students and welcomed us with open arms. They presented their work, hosted a Q&A panel, and even challenged us with a week long assignment. My main takeaway comes from the Account Manager, who sat on the panel. He said that since account managers work on the front lines, they get yelled at by the creatives, and sometimes even the clients. However, he did express that the process is rewarding and definitely worth it. Since I am pursuing account management this was a particularly eye-opening statement for me.
