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?

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 ?

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?

I absolutely hate creating tactical maps/ecosystems/plumbing charts etc. I love actually working on developing brand plans and tactics- and even the understanding of channels. Should I change fields? What else is there?

Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!
