What features do you look for when looking for payment and merchant services? It seems like a lot of people go with Square because it’s simple but you’re paying for it and it doesn’t offer many features. I’m trying to get back into this business. I work with a reputable company offering full-featured business service and I’m here to offer other features and help other small businesses evaluate their options. Can help cut costs, help with cash flow and other services, inventory management, etc.

I have to pack to leave tomorrow morning but I really don't want to..

Have any strategists made the move over to consulting or client-side as a brand manager? Curious about your experience/why you made the move...

Trying to leave agency life, but unsure of where to go next. Any successful transitions? Where did you go?

Thoughts on VCCP London for strategy?

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

Are cover letters needed for non-creative (media buying, planning, or strategy) jobs?

Can anyone recommend a good headhunter that has experience in placing agency strategists on the client side (not just agency only)?

Thinking of switching to marketing at a non profit or university comms role. Any skills I need to get under@my belt before starting to apply or do you think there’s enough overlap to just learn on the job (quietly) thank you :)

Has anyone ever worked with Mark Pollard or Julian Cole? Are they as great as they seem?

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

How are salaries in Montreal for planners?

Who hires junior strategists? Where should I start looking? I’m loving my planning internship right now, but I want to apply elsewhere in case I don’t get an offer, but I’m not seeing anything open.

Strategy is so weird. If you do your job right, you simplify complex things to the point that anyone can feel like an expert.
That's when the danger begins...

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.
