Currently interviewing with Mastercard data and services for the consultant role.

I’m worry that I still have like 45 years more to be retired and can’t stop working because I have a f* mortgage to pay 😭 I have a super ergonomic workstation, but I know my hand needs a long rest, and I can’t do it… Does anyone relate? What do you recommend?

If Arya Stark from GOT worked in advertising, she would be a strategist...

Thinking of switching to marketing at a non profit or university comms role. Any skills I need to get under@my belt before starting to apply or do you think there’s enough overlap to just learn on the job (quietly) thank you :)

What’s a good amount of time to be at the senior planner level?

Have any strategists made the move over to consulting or client-side as a brand manager? Curious about your experience/why you made the move...

I'm new to marketing and I am not formally educated in it. I have just been learning through experience with the business. I'm supposed to put together a Market report for our sales team to refer to but I have been stuck on what I even include. I have an expensive subscription to a reporting database and I am supposed to translate these technical reports into 20-30 slides. I can't figure out if I am overthinking something simple or lacking some knowledge that people formally learn in school.

Are cover letters needed for non-creative (media buying, planning, or strategy) jobs?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

What have you found most helpful in training up a very green junior brand planner or junior strategist? Any particular trainings or resources that are great at teaching foundational skills?

What’s the word on Ace Metrix? Pros, cons? Every tool has them. More and more of my clients are using it... both for creative pre testing and measurement.

anyone know which agencies are hiring strategists? job market is supposed to be hot, but not seeing too many job listings on the usual spots (LI, Indeed, etc)

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

Looking to bring on a experiential marketing specialist (FT) with 5 years of experience - any idea of the average salary range for such position these days?
