Here are my observations about the skills and experiences that PMs have and how people are joining that group.

Hi everyone! Coming out from anonymity as the bowl leader here. I started this bowl back in March ‘18 and proud to say we’re about 1,400 members now. I’d like to make this a more engaging space...

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’m being provided the opportunity to build an integrated planning group in my agency. We’ll be responsible for things like:
- category and comp audits
- trend analysis: distilling research into an actionable narrative for clients
- persona development

What other outputs am I missing, and what title would you recommend?

Do you think your counterparts in brand strat, creative and account truly understand and appreciate what you do?

How can I improve at developing activation maps/architecture. I’m so slow and I struggle to get it right and to make intuitive sense.

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 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).

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)?

Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

How much $$ should I ask for a senior manager (planner) role?

After making it through all rounds of interviews at Apple, I was informed the comms planning role I am after was cut due to hiring freezes. That said, I am being offered a contractor role with potential for full time conversion if the role opens up. Any advice?

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.

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?

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?

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