Is there a definitive guide to cost of living? The obvious cost of living centers (SF, NYC, LA etc.) get covered a lot, but I’m wondering where my city falls. It’s a modest Midwest city with ~100k residents but is a relatively touristy spot. It often feels like a MCOL area but I’m not sure how to adequately judge that, and it would be helpful to know when comparing salaries and the like.

Finished Rich Dad Poor Dad and appreciate the emphasis on creating alternative cash flows (vs. just income). Does anyone have book recommendations on creating wealth? I've focused heavily on income + 'safe' investing, but intrigued to learn more.

So I am currently a potential candidate as an AAE. I was told that I would in the future have to prepare a mock deck and deal with objections.

Has anybody had to prepare them and what was the scenario?

Thanks everyone!

What is comms planning

Question: I’m new to all this so sorry if this is so obvious. How often do mid to large size agencies contract work out to smaller ones? And what’s the best way to go about starting that relationship?

I’m struggling a bit. Can any kind of person show me awesome examples of comms plans that really lifted the creative idea? I learn best by seeing examples or case studies. I can explain below...

What would you recommend for comms planning training and/or books (other than Julian Cole - which I have done)? Looking at adding more comms planning to my skill set (which is more brand and digital at present). I’m on a client-side team (for context).

Anyone else have to deal with your head of Brand Planning constantly trying to tear down the value of Comms Planning? Is it fear that we will replace them? Or perhaps he's just fundamentally insecure.

Does anyone have a list of KPIs for Comms Planning roles within an agency setting? Trying to establish how I’m measured / being reviewed because it’s very hazy at the moment.

Really appreciate it!!

I have two great lead roles on the team that I’m looking to fill. If you or anyone you know might be interested please let me know! See comments for details

What do you call it at your agency?
Comms planning? Connections planning? Engagement planning?

Looking to make a move. Who do we think has the best department at an agency right now?

How much media experience should someone have before pivoting into comms/connections planning? What specific media tools would a comms planner use in their day to day?

Although I've reviewed job descriptions for comms planners, would love to hear someone's input & experience.

Would like to set myself up to make this switch eventually. Thank you

Connections and comms strategy are changing with the industry. Where do you bring the most value to teams and clients today, and where / how do you see that evolving ?

I absolutely hate creating tactical maps/ecosystems/plumbing charts etc. I love actually working on developing brand plans and tactics- and even the understanding of channels. Should I change fields? What else is there?
