*should clarify it’s a tech client

It’s either leading the in house media team or managing the media agency [or both]

who ends up in these types of roles? group strategy directors coming from media agencies? and what’s the career progression once you’re “lead”? the fact that it’s client side is appealing, but seems like a bit of a dead end

After you are stealth laid off, other than job search, what do you do? I assume they won’t give you work and even if they do, you can politely decline?
