Any "digital" strategists have any tips on breaking into more brand planning roles.

I came up in digital shops, but I've experience building and repositioning brands just as much as I have created comms plans or social/digital strategies. Find these legacy titles have put me in a box that's getting hard to break out of. Anyone dealt with a similar situation or know of places that lets you dabble in all of these disciplines?

I find many digital strategists think they can do the brand strategy job but struggle. They think tactically and not big picture. Not all but many. Get some honest advice from someone who knows your work about which one you are. Saves a lot of headaches

Hi all!
Would love some insight on how you went from an HR assistant/coordinator to an HR Generalist. I’ve been in the HR world for 8 years, and only in the last 2-3 have I really done real HR work. The first company I was at didn’t have a solid HR team so I don’t really count that. I feel like I’m ready to take on more responsibility and learn more. And of course make more money.

Now I'm not so good at coding.

But confused bw

Can someone help in choosing ?
