Topic awaiting preservation: Interactive agencies

Not sure if this belongs in this section . . . I was wondering how I can fit into an interactive dept of an agency- finance is not for me, too stuffy. Maybe not a designer (limited experience) but an account person dealing with the clients or Proj Mgr- which I enjoy and have experience freelancing.

My Experience:

- 3 years full time advertising (media planner, Grey)
- 3 years full time finance (web design/production, Alliance Capital)
- Over 4 years freelance web design in spare time

Can someone tell me the different positions that exist within an interactive branch of an ad agency? Maybe somewhere I could fit in using my knowledge?

Thanks!

I'ld like to talk more about your background.

now that's the greatest way i've ever seen to put up your email addy

kinda hard to say, all really depends how involved and how big we're talking. i'd say minimum would be a designer (front end/graphic) and a developer (database/scripting), and probably some sort of art director/creative lead to run the whole thing. ideally you'd have a few different guys with different specializations (on the design side a true designer, a flash/video guy, maybe a 3d guy, on the dev side a scripting/web development/css guy, a hardcore database/e-comm/coder, etc.).

yeah thanks folks. I guess it does depend on size of office where people may do multiple jobs, vs larger more specialized agencies/firms. I am just unhappy where I am now- approaching 3 yrs time to move onto other challenges.

thanks
