Trying to break into junior strategy roles in London, need advice from people in the industry
not sure if this is the correct subreddit but
I’m trying to break into junior strategy roles (brand strategy, cultural strategy, creative strategy), but I’m finding it really hard to get traction and I’d love some honest advice from people who’ve been through this. I’m very aware that these types of roles for entry level or junior are rare or pretty much don’t exist, so I need advice on what other options I should be applying for or getting into. What’s a realistic entry point for someone with my background?
My background:
- Studied graphic design
- Built a full portfolio with conceptual brand worlds, cultural research, and strategy-led projects
- I'm not so much interested in graphic design anymore but hence why I'm trying to get into strategy or something similar to that
My portfolio includes:
- Conceptual brand worlds
- Cultural insight projects
- Narrative systems
- Strategy-led design
- Research + storytelling
