Hey strategists, I’m contemplating a shift from brand strategy to a role more focused in social (opp to work at a top shop). Any insight into what the transition is like? What’s the biggest difference? Pros cons?

From what I’ve experienced on a couple different accounts, social strategy is more content/messaging/comms based strategy. More like taking the campaign message and mapping it to channels.

ooh im curious why you wanna make that switch? it’s usually the other way around!

ah that makes sense! go for it to have more strategy skills under your belt! you’ll find as someone else mentioned that you won’t be shaping the brands anymore really. instead you’ll probably take an already existing brand strategy & find the appropriate channels & tailor the messages accordingly (probably using the behavior chain). it’s actually interesting stuff! & can be lucrative as true skilled content strategists are hard to come by

Sadly, I don't know of anyone who has made this transition. Why, if I may ask, are you considering this move?
