I managed to do it in a smaller city. And for ad ops!

The opportunities are there. I suggest Googling the job you want by city. You’d be surprised the amount of brand jobs that are available right now.

Went client side and came back (sorry, not what you’re lookin for). Client side has so many dicks that are not on your team - ie- sales, ops, finance, etc. At least at an agency, at the end of the day, you’re all on the same team and you all “get” marketing/advertising.

Look at job postings for brand manager roles at large firms like cpg companies and make sure your resume has those responsibilities. Then make friends with your clients and ask them to refer you
