how to work with creatives that have never worked with a Connections planner before?

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!!

Anyone hiring Group / Director Comms Strategy in New York?

What tools do you all swear by for insights and usage and behaviours?

Hi friends. Does anyone by chance have demographic info for Animal Crossing? Or a contact at Nintendo?

Any info on the agency Heartbeat in NY?

One of the primary aims of the criminal justice reform movement is to help ex-convicts re-enter the workforce by sealing criminal records, and making it more difficult for employers to judge applicants based on criminal history. The idea is that people are redeemable and capable of reform. Yet the same movement thoroughly enjoys getting people fired and publicly shaming them for making arguments they find “offensive”. A rapist is capable of reform, but not someone who makes a dumb tweet. Got it.

What’s the work-life balance at Strategy& and EY-Parthenon in the London offices? At the moment I’m averaging around 50-55 hours at my boutique - higher or lower?

Hey designer fishies! I'm conducting an interview tomorrow for a new Director of Product. This person will be managing our team of Product Managers and Product Designers.

What are some good interview questions for this level and type of role? I have a few in mind, but would love to pick the group's brain as I have never interviewed anyone for a Director role before.

Thanks in advance!!

Anyone interested in a practice session tomorrow?

Anyone have situational depression? Can’t stop beating myself up over a decision a year ago. Basically missed out on a massive amount of money. I know this seems trite and i never even cared thatt much about money before this year.

So many other good things happened to me this year - got married, got a puppy, moved etc, and yet the one thing i keep returning to is this decision as though i ruined my life. Ironically the only thing ruining my life is my outlook and yet i just can’t stop.

So I have been seeing a guy for 4 months. We have a pay disparity.. he earns less than I do (by quite a bit). He has mentioned a few times that he’s worried I’ll get bored of him when I know he can’t afford the same things I can. I think we are beginning to move past this, but now he’s starting to mention things like ‘I am really broke this month’, and last weekend he told me his mum has lost her job and he’ll have to probably pay her rent. I have a lot of sympathy for his situation … tbc

Don’t suppose anybody would be interested in buying a set of PaxEast badges for Friday and Saturday? My roommate can’t make it and I’m left holding the bag. I’m out of DC, but we also have our megabus

Hi All,

I’m looking for brands and interesting campaigns that communicate and showcase transparency, trust and openness.

Ideally any interesting integrated comms that came out of it?

Thank you!

How much media experience should someone have before pivoting into comms/connections planning? What specific media tools would a comms planner use in their day to day?

Although I've reviewed job descriptions for comms planners, would love to hear someone's input & experience.

Would like to set myself up to make this switch eventually. Thank you

Anyone else have to deal with your head of Brand Planning constantly trying to tear down the value of Comms Planning? Is it fear that we will replace them? Or perhaps he's just fundamentally insecure.

Media folks with families who moved to Chicago/burbs or to any other city from NYC/Burbs, how is the living,job market,growth,overall difference vs. NY? I’m planning to relocate. Appreciate responses🙏

In your opinion, what brand is the best at social? Feels like it’s so hard to get creatives to think beyond film scripts

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?

Do you think your counterparts in brand strat, creative and account truly understand and appreciate what you do?

Hey friends, I’m hiring a mid-level Comms Planner for my team in Charlotte. You’ll get to work on a billion dollar financial services client and Vudu, Walmart’s streaming service. More in comments.

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?

Are there any agencies with a decent Comms Planning department in Chicago???

Connections and comms strategy are changing with the industry. Where do you bring the most value to teams and clients today, and where / how do you see that evolving ?

How can I improve at developing activation maps/architecture. I’m so slow and I struggle to get it right and to make intuitive sense.
