Currently a planner buyer at a mid level agency. Tired of the agency scene - would love to do media buying in house, particularly in publishing (love to read, so trying to align my interests). Any recs of publishing houses that do buying in house? Or, career paths I could take in publishing that aren’t media buying at all?

I don’t think that media planning/buying at a publishing house is wise. They’re struggling so much. If you want to pause a minute, look at the career page of a much larger company you admire pretend it’s Disney, Comcast, Amazon, just examples. Then spend a fair amount of time looking at the open roles/departments, imagining where you might apply your skills even if the literal role you’re doing now, (media planner or buyer) doesn’t exist. I think this is a good way to ask yourself if you’re ready to move onto something based on the experience/learning you’ve gained or if you want to keep a trajectory much closer to your current role.

Hey fishies, looking for some help with the below

I have 4 lots of data categories which are assigned a code in the adjacent cell
Eg:
Cell A2= 'xyz' Cell B2 = 'w1'
Cell C2= 'ghi' Cell D2 = 'x1'
Cell E2= 'plm' Cell F2 = 'y1'
Cell G2= 'mhn' Cell H2 = 'z1'

The combination of the 'W','X','Y' and 'Z' codes identity a specific trend
I am extracting data which includes multiple combinations of these codes. What is the best way to show frequency of the codes against the category it is assigned to
