What do major advertising agencies look for in terms of importance? Experience or creative innovation?

I have never worked at an ad agency. I have always wanted to but I never bothered because I'm fairly new, I'm a graphic designer who is inexperienced but my portfolio is mostly ads because that is what I love creating. So anyway a friend suggested to contact one cause what could it hurt? He said contact the creative director directly. So I did. And I might start Monday. Which to me...is insane. I'm excited but it's insane because I'm inexperienced. And these guys are a tremendous agency with hundreds of global offices. Maybe they liked my portfolio? Maybe they think I'm more experienced than I really am? I almost started to cry from excitement because advertising is what I dreamed of when I was younger. And I let the dream die for a very long time because it felt impossible. Is the impossible truly possible? Do agencies only look for creative abilities? I'm confident in my skills there. Is that all they look for?

TL;DR: might be starting my dream job, and I have no idea what I did to get there.
