Follow these fool-proof steps and you’ll be skyrocketing to agency superstardom in no time:

1. Speak loudly and obnoxiously. When people can’t possibly ignore you, they can’t pretend that you don’t exist. ;)

2. Rinse and repeat. Pretend you know what you’re doing by repeating what others are saying to you. You’ll come off as super intelligent because you think exactly like everyone who has a great idea. The following terms should be your BFF’s: “exactly,” “that’s what I was thinking too,” “yep, totally agree” and “I love it.”

3. Like a lion stalking its prey. When another office’s leadership comes through the office, sit, watch and wait for your chance to tell them how much you like their hair cut, jewelry, anything. Observe closely and go in for the proverbial kill when they walk your way.

4. “I love your shirt!” When all else fails, compliment your manager’s shirt. It doesn’t matter if it has some god awful geometric pattern with neon colors on it, you own that shirt and you love it.
