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 reviewing my resume getting ready to start my job search and have a question for recruiters, hiring managers. I’m looking for a role brand-side not agency side. Specialist roles aside, such as digital, when you see someone describing themselves as a “generalist marketer” is this a resume you’d pass on? My past roles have been such that I do a lot of marketing projects, tasks etc. but I’m not a specialist. I’m worried if I use this terminology I won’t even be considered for a role. Thank you
