I’m a Senior Strategist at a creative agency, and I’ve noticed that my CD and Strategy Lead consistently take credit for my work. I’m often brought in to fix strategic issues, yet when ideas are sold in, leadership has no idea I was behind them. I even found out from another office that no one realizes I contribute to key projects. I’ve also seen my name removed from slides before presentations. How do I navigate this, especially when I don’t see a clear path for growth?

I joined Accenture few days back as level 9. Till now didn't get any project. I have one more offer from another company and have not told them that I joined Accenture.
Should I wait for Accenture to allot me project or shall I abscond?
I am worried since I joined Accenture as level 9 team lead and what if they fire me? Or map to some irrelevant project?

My agency is just now launching d and I but no talks of equity, how should equity begin to be discussed in a way that isn't some new foreign concept to agency with probably 3 to 5 pct black/Hispanic

I was just laid off from a fintech startup after 4.5 months as their first ever IP attorney. Anyone have any leads on other IP roles. I’m soft IP/marketing focused but also have patent experience.

Is flipping houses worthwhile? I like decorating and renovating, so I'm thinking that maybe I could go into this and try my luck.

Anybody who got laid off in the current wave and looking for a referral in Zalando in Germany, feel free to DM me. Happy to help.

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!

Does anyone else have problems with people from other disciplines just flat out rewriting strategy slides in decks? Any tips on how to get the behavior to stop? In internal checkins everyone always seems on board, but afterward they will just go in and completely change the slides without consulting me. I love feedback, but I've never experienced this before and rewriting slides without my input feels like a major line being crossed. Unless I'm just crazy? I truly don't know any more.

What do you expect from a junior strategist versus a strategist? How long do you expect a college graduate to be a junior strategist?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

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

Brand planners, how much time do you typically get when you’re on a new account writing a brief for a new integrated campaign? Do you find yourself having to negotiate/push back with account folks so you have the time to do it properly? Curious with shortening timelines these days how long you all have to think about a brand brief.

if you had no limitations & could work in any agency in the world, which one would it be?

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...

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 :)

Gaming the Game Has Become the Game
