Of course it is. In fact, I’d argue that’s where most strategists come in from - different departments (is the case here in London anyway).
My advice to you would be to try demonstrate all the skills a great strategist has - relentless curiosity , problem solving, ability to simplify, hands on with creative process/teams, finger on pulse of pop culture, trends, etc.
If you can demonstrate these skills, while making connections in the strategy department (ask strats to go for a coffee to pick their brains), it’ll quickly become clear you may be suited to the move.
Don’t ever think your past/current experience isn’t worthy or valid for the job. The best strategy departments in the world have an eclectic, mixed and diverse range of skillsets and backgrounds. If we’re to represent real people of all shapes and sizes, surely we ourselves should represent that too?
Good luck.
