Does anyone have any suggestions for breaking into Retail/Shopper Marketing/Brand Management for CPG? Or, any general marketing skills that can translate to those types of roles.

I'm seeing lots of cool jobs in this are, and lucrative too, as they are typically attached to P&L in some way, but need experience first (or an MBA – ha) and all my experience is in PR, writing, digital mktg and creative. Help. I'm nervous about where my career is headed if I don't learn something new and valuable.
