Hello! I’m new at fishbowl and would love to use this platform to grow more professionally through active listening and advice. That being said, I’m a strategist with the resume of a media person. Can anyone help me with better positioning myself as a strategist? I really want to start a strategy role but I don’t have the actual experience and I’m afraid I’m not passing the initial screening for a strategy role because of my resume.

Hi! Can you use the title Comms Strategist? Or Creative Strategist? And highlight experience of using media to plan comms? Plenty of agencies are looking for strategists with a digital media background now, so play up the media experience as a benefit.
