LMAO depends. I don't know much about Excel and add on my fingers, but I do know a lot about how to use words to make you feel a way.

Strategist have the most exit routes from advertising imo. Consulting, client side, so many things in business use the strategist skills if you’re a good one.

It’s not about the title but what you’re interested in. Being a strategist requires researching various industries and brands. Any that you liked? Then pursue that vertical. Research more to see specifically what interests you.

Too many posts about in this job title and I’m looking for other things. You’ll never find it unless you prioritize the type of work you want to do. Once you know, then ask yourself, is there that kind in the role you have now or within the agency.

That’s the beauty of our industry, we get new clients and projects that we all have to learn. It’s like being an actor and learning everything g about a character. Try to get on a different client in a different vertical. Learn while getting paid. Versus just looking at the deliverable.
