Any advice on going in house? I am so tired of the agency grind but I never get any interviews for in house roles. I feel like my titles don’t translate to marketing and brand management titles and so I’ve ended up stuck. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice especially you have made the switch yourself?

I have made the switch. Brand strategist usually translates well into brand marketing manager, brand manger, etc. Could even look into market intelligence or insights titles. I went in house as the insights specialist before having my title changed to senior brand manager. Coming from a VP of strategy title at an agency.

Can confirm that agency titles are bullshit half the time. I’m in house and work with other former agency friends. We were all SVP or higher and now Director/Senior Director/Senior Manager. No one took a pay cut.

I’ve also seen VP Strategy Directors move in house to my company at senior brand manager level. Would say to consider the roles you’re applying to related to years of experience and if total comp would be equitable/ higher. Networking and referral links make a big difference. That helped me make the move
