...What will I need to demonstrate that’s different than agency-side expertise? How should I adapt my resume to be an appealing and stand-out candidate?

What do you mean by director of marketing? You mean client side? You mean an agency CMO job?

@ManagingDirector1 I mean client side

Isn't it the exact same Job? How is it different?

An AD must have the skills and expertise to think through 360 marketing which is what a marketing director does. Hence why ADs are client partners with marketing heads bc they understand all channels with a business focus.
