Important tips from Doug Melville on being more than just an advertiser: 

1. Agency’s want people with an alternative expertise! 

This will bring new innovations and visions to the table!

2. HYPE UP YOUR SIDE HUSSLE (hustle)

We are in the age of specialist, agencies want to see how you are telling unique stories…. (art, instagram, blogs etc…) 

3. [MY] Reputation is the only thing that precedes [ME] when i am no longer in the room

It is important to remember decisions are made when you are not in the room, beast up your reputation, because it’s all you have!

4. Identify your:

1. Mentor- Who is your North Star? / Who do you look up to?

2. Advocate: Who is your inside man? Who can refer you?

3. Coach: Who is in your corner reminding you that you are a champ?

and lastly, be the best S/ASHER you can be.
