Has anyone transitioned from traditional agency environment to implementation consulting? Over the past few years I've been building workflows and in house teams for clients in addition to the standard creative asks. Wondering if experience like this is even aligned.

Short answer is yes, and experience sounds relevant. What do you mean implementation consulting?

Honestly just applied via website! Was looking for non-typical more rigorous routes where my skills would still be valued and it came up in a search. This was years ago, before consultancies were really in the agency game

Implementing (marketing) workflows and building in house teams for clients is very aligned with what Accenture Interactive and IBM iX both do. Specially Marketing Ops or Enterprise (Marketing) Agility.

We do a lot more than ops and workflow. Most of Interactive is agency services.

Should I look to apply as a program manager role since it’s more likely my consulting experience will apply to that and see if I can transition into a PMM role from there?
