I'm currently in the brand agency world as a Senior Client Manager, but gauging how to enter the 'brand consultancy' space (e.g. Lippincott , Prophet, Accenture Interactive/Accenture Song). Are they typically better paid? And do account people get much traction in that arena? Current staffers at those places appear to be ex-strategists or ex-consultants (MBB).

Those are consulting groups that have acquired or built out design shops. Pay scales are definitely higher than agency land, but lower than on the consulting side

Prophet doesn’t have account or client managers as we are set up with partners whos main job to sell the work and do the client relationship alongside deliver the work and engagement managers manage the engagement they are staffed on

Sounds like it's not too big of a leap to jump from an Account Manager to an Engagement Manager, right? Many of the brand agency roles are client relationship/project management hybrids.

I’m job searching right now and applied for a job I was a little overqualified for just to shoot my shot and get my foot in the door with a great brand. The hiring mgr took the time to email me to tell me I was overqualified and offered to help me get connected to his network. He’s been so kind and helpful and I’m kind of in shock at his generosity. Even if an offer doesn’t come from it, is it weird if I send him a Starbucks gift card or something as a thank you? What’s appropriate?
