Brand managers, what skills do you require as hiring managers to hire someone coming from agency side? I’ve been trying to get past resume stage but it’s been tough :(

I think part of it is leveling. Brand manager usually have marketing experience, like doing campaigns. You may want to look at more junior level marketing jobs where you learn marketing from scratch. Or even look at brand strategy jobs which are more open to agency experience.

I’d love to know more about this! May I dm you?

If you’re talking about traditional brand management, I’d say analytical and business fundamentals.

As brand managers, you’re spending less of your time on the creative side of marketing and more on the business strategy and financial success of the brand.

If you’re looking to improve your resume, aim to add results achieved, metrics, and business impact. They also want to see you’re able to analyze data to make decisions - in other words how did data inform your strategy and how you measured outcomes/KPIs.

Appreciate it! Dm’ing you now

Thanks! Would both of you be willing to review my resume? It would be amazing to hear your perspectives!

I interviewed for KPMG on 11/15 for a Senior role and the HR emailed me on 11/16 that everyone liked me but they think I should be hired as an Experienced Associate. I had a call with the HR on 11/17 wherein we discussed about my salary expectations and the HR said he will get back in a day. It’s been more than 10 days and multiple follow ups but still no response. I don’t think I was rude while talking to the HR, I just told my current salary and asked for min. that no. Did i miss the chance ?
