I left my Brand Marketing Manager role where I led strategy, creative, and media - is it possible to find in-house roles that let you do it all with 5yrs experience + proven success?

I think it may be challenging to find, if it exists. For many companies, you’ll be competing with individuals who have 3-4x your experience, especially given that a lot of in house cultures reward longevity over everything else. I might suggest beginning your search with startups and tech.

Hey everyone, What would you say is the difference between an account director and a senior account manager. I was just promoted as an account director when I quit my job and moved to the U.K and now having so much trouble finding a job as an AD. My last interview feedback was that they really liked me but felt like I was lacking new bizz skills and that the organic business growth opportunities I found and jumped on were “luck aka right place at the right” moment kinda thing?
