Does anyone have any advice on how to shift from a specialist (paid advertising) to a more strategic (in digital marketing) role? I've been job searching for a couple of weeks and would love to be considered for roles outside paid advertising but it seems to be extra challenging this time of the year.

Those roles are on the creative agency side. I would reach out and try to have coffee zoom chats with digital strategists and strategy directors on what it takes to break in. First step is to find the agencies you want to work for then the people in those departments to talk to.
