CD's who've held the role for a couple of years now, what's your next step? I'm quite honestly burnt out and done with keeping my team motivated for tight deadlines that even I think are way too hard to achieve. Looking for inspiration on what could be next for me.

I like being a cd maker more than a manager….. or a gcd. I just really am an overpaid art director that can handle client meetings. But clients like me and I’m handy in a pitch. We still need reliable idea people

I was in the same place as you a few months ago and have now fully transitioned into a creative consultant. I obviously spent all my years creating some amazing contacts and was able to leverage most of them for my first few gigs. It's been going steady for now.. hopefully will continue. I also so entrepreneurship as a possibility in the next few years.

I’m trying to transition to the broader marketing side. After working in-house it’s fascinated me.

Say more on this, if you can. I’m client side and have completely lost the will to go to an agency and be sucked back into that vortex of pain. You thinking of being more account side at the client?

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?
