Hey! Client exec here. My CE background has always been digital, and this year I made the switch to branding and packaging… a little to a year in I find myself struggling to handle the ropes of the packaging world. Anyone else with a similar experience?

For that type of work, fostering good relationships with the points of contact might be the best move, and that can only happen with repeated positive interactions over time. These vendors get past-deadline and last min requests all the time, they are more likely to help someone they enjoy working with.

Do you have a PM team supporting you?

Accept the fact that you won't be an expert overnight. Embrace the journey, ask questions, and soak up knowledge like a sponge. Remember, even the most seasoned packaging veterans started somewhere, and they probably struggled with terms like "substrate" and "dieline" once upon a time.

Anyone hiring those who have been out of work for a year? I took time off to tend to personal matters, but I am now looking to get back into the workforce again. My previous experience includes time at B4 audit up to senior level and then transitioned to manager in industry. Senior/manager roles are preferred.

I don’t mind audit. However, I’d prefer it not to be at a B4, as I am looking for some semblance of a work life balance.

DM me if you have something above, thanks.
