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...

What’s the biggest difference between a Brand Director and a Director of Marketing & Communications?

Looking to make a move. Who do we think has the best department at an agency right now?

I’m struggling a bit. Can any kind of person show me awesome examples of comms plans that really lifted the creative idea? I learn best by seeing examples or case studies. I can explain below...

Anyone have any success in developing a process for thought leadership, inspiration, information share-out with creatives that actually resonates and invites questions and conversation?

Hi! Do you think there's value in a junior comms planner? And when you're starting out, how beneficial is it to have some experience at a media agency?

Can someone please explain connections strategy? At my (creative ad) agency we only have strategy and digital/ social strategy. Trying to grasp what exactly a connections or comms strategist works on.

Does anyone have a list of KPIs for Comms Planning roles within an agency setting? Trying to establish how I’m measured / being reviewed because it’s very hazy at the moment.

Really appreciate it!!

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?

I’ve been so many places where everyone throws around comms planning, connections planning, and channel planning (and others) interchangeably. But then some folks say there’s nuance. Is there?

Favorite tools to run virtual workshops?

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?

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).

- persona development

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