Hi there!

Anyone from GSLN - Global Servicing Learning Network?

Could I pull off asking my manager from J1 for approval of freelancing on the side? It’s quite common anyway for designers I think. And then my j2 can be “freelance” even though it’s full time?

Anyone know if Ogletree, Jackson Lewis, Littler, Fisher & Phillips, or any other employment boutiques are doing layoffs? I feel like our practice area is still really busy.

Please don't join IBM however they are keeping most people on the bench after joining.

I was just asked to relocate to a different city. The move will come with a raise and promotion, but I'm conflicted. I enjoy where I live right now and I like being close to my family. Would love some advice.

Is there any kind of file sharing website (even a paid one) with good forms for checklists, abstracts, etc. Obviously, almost nothing is going to be a perfect fit, but I’m more interested in form over substance. I want something user-friendly and pretty that I don’t have to make myself.

How should I spend my yearly education credit in this space?? Any recommendations

How transparent can you really get with your team? I am actively looking for roles at other companies including competitors, but at the same time the team needs to know whether I’ll be on the project til next year or not. I’ve been transparent with them about my interest and wanting to look for other things. And don’t want to keep them completely out of the loop which will impact them but also worried if i tell them I’m looking for roles at other companies, they won’t be pleased/let me go

I am starting a 4-months internship at a company B in January. However, I just heard from a company T that they will interview me for their full time position.

Company T is paying me way more (twice) than Company B. And I like company T more. However, they want me to start working in February if I get this position. If I end up getting the offer, I will have to quit my internship at Company B, almost immediately after I begin the internship.

Is this okay?

I have 50k worth of stock in a diversified portfolio with my bank ( beginner here, med-high risk) Ive seen my stocks plunge like everyone else past few months but wondering if I should keep it all? Any of you pulled out some $$ out of their portfolio after Ukraine war?

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

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?

Which excel tools do you use to simplify your process, sort through your data easier and to be able to identify key figures quicker? Trying to move into strategy and believe this would help move things quicker than just standard filters. Thank you.

What do you call it at your agency?
Comms planning? Connections planning? Engagement planning?

Looking for a comms planner to join the team and work on QSR, Casino and Financial Services accounts. Other backgrounds looking for a transition into comms will also be considered. DM for details!

I just started at a new agency and learned that the entire agency has limited to no experience with comms planning but somehow merely the mention of a comms plan evokes a visceral reaction from multiple disciplines. I have 10 years of experience in social/digital/media and I’ve never experienced a stigma like this. Has anyone else experienced this? Any advice?

I'm looking for a comms planner for a mid-size agency in San Diego. 5-7 years overall experience with at least 1 full year spent exclusively on comms. DM me if you're interested, I'd consider more experienced as well.

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.

Trying to pull together a list of thought leadership themes/ questions and hypotheses for my clients. What have been some hot topics that have come up for you?

How do you explain the difference between a comms plan and a go to market plan, to people who think they’re one and the same?
(I feel like I’m speaking to a brick wall. So maybe I’m not explaining it well enough)

I’m being provided the opportunity to build an integrated planning group in my agency. We’ll be responsible for things like:
- category and comp audits
- trend analysis: distilling research into an actionable narrative for clients
- persona development

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