Does agency experience make it easier to move into sports marketing?

I have an opportunity at a general marketing agency rather than directly in sport. Would a couple of years of strong agency experience make me more competitive for team, league or property marketing roles later?

Absolutely. Agency experience can build campaign planning, client communication, deadlines, measurement and presentation skills very quickly. The key is to keep enough connection to sport that you can later explain why you want to apply those skills in the industry.
