Agency or in-house: which builds better marketers? Damien Voita is Principal Campaign Manager at AdRoll, with nine years of agency and in-house experience across B2B and B2C brands. He picks agency work as the better teacher because it forces you to ask what the right approach is for each company, again and again. He also warns that in-house marketers can tie their identity to the brand instead of the craft, and says the best work comes from people who see themselves as marketers first.
