How can I train or break into a 'creative' job from PR? Please help

I have writing skills, would trying for junior copywriter roles be a first step maybe?

This job below is really interesting to me, but I'm so confused how to get into that area because it specifies nobody from a marketing or advertising background.

I want to move into a creative field but not sure how to do it. I don't want to be a graphic designer. Embarrassingly I'm hazy even on the definitions of 'creative' in this sense, in the world of content production. It can seem to mean a lot of different things?

I'm getting frustrated because I don't know what direction to try to educate myself in - which courses to consider to re train or where I could possibly get experience. Any ideas?

I’d go and work for a big intergrated agency and try and gain more exposure to creative projects where there are multi disciplinary teams to learn from. Build strong internal relationships that would position you for an internal move.

Not a chance for a big integrated agency as yet, no understanding of the design / creative process.

Better off with a small agency where you get more hands on experience - even if it’s a semi admin role
