Most ad agencies work directly with talent agents with regards to auditioning and so forth. There are some exceptions of course and there are some agencies that are just fine with talent contacting them directly.
Of course, many ad agencies don't have broadcast production teams and hire outside producers like me to find talent and produce commercials. One ofthe agenciesthat I write and produce for forwarded a moving box and a half of dmeo cd's to me a few months a go. I did what anybody else in my position would do (but doesn't have the huevos to tell you) I ripped out the CD's and cd covers and kept the cases.
You might have better luck trying to identify potential hirers through online networking communities, civic and social organizations or through your local ad club. You really should be targeting agents to get representation.
