The Pros and Cons of In-House vs. Agency — with Jess Kirkman

The prescribed career path for creatives has often been to pick one of two routes: work in-house or choose an agency. But not anymore, argues Jess Kirkman. Today, the skills learned from both places are the way to build a foundation for decades-long creative success. In this episode of Real Creative Leadership, Kirkman explains how to get the most from moving from one to the other and why a food brand like Taco Bell can be a great place for creativity.
