How far into implementation and execution do you get as a strategist (and what's your specialty). I notice social strategist tend to get way more into the executional portion, even writing copy etc. whereas brand strategy tends to roll off once the briefing process is done. Does brand strategy ever go on shoots or vendor/production meeting and are they responsible for it? Just had an unclear moment where it seemed like I was expected to vet production partners and I didn't realize I should've .

Not very far. Unless you’re really senior, creatively inclined, and/or the client wants your input on that stuff. Our influence on the creative product comes pre-production mostly

Social Strategy will always go deeper into execution and that's because social strategy is a "secondary" strategy.

I started my career in social.

I always went further when I started my career in social. I also had to go to shoots and do a lot more in that social role.

My new role I roll off after strategy presentation and only brought in for help with ideas or problems as they arise. It’s weird. I’m used to being in everything and now I roll off.

I’d ask your manager or colleagues for a clear list of your role on a project or “anything else I need to do before I transition off?”

My dilemma… I am an injury adjuster at a carrier experiencing high inventory that’s barely manageable. A competitor offered a higher salary and manageable workload. BUT, I would like to get into underwriting. I applied for UW position w/ a different carrier and they’ve made an offer. It’s lower than my current salary and significantly lower than what I’d make by taking the first offer. Do I take the high salary and stay in claims or go for UW in hopes it will be best in long run?

Curious to hear how others create a SOW for a video where the concept isn’t created yet. e.g. a startup asks for a proposal/estimate for a 60-second brand video with little input and a vague budget range.

My Co. seems to have challenges with getting the SOW right: either goes very basic or doesn’t scope enough because creative development is baked in but eats up time. How do you do it?

She never takes out her card and only venmos me if I send her the request. She lets Venmos sit for weeks before paying them. I still let a lot of things slide.
