I’m in-house at a foundation and trying to think about what comes next. I came up as a copywriter (again, in-house) so I’m not super clear on all the marketing things like when a tagline is different from a value prop, when a comms plan is different from a marketing plan. Is this stuff I need to really study if I want to pursue brand marketing/management outside of this company? I am good at communicating what we do to different audiences.

My 3-person team spends about 15+ hours a month each writing monthly reports for our clients (99 small retainer clients).

Any AmEx Marketing connections here? Saw some recent postings with their marketing team that I’m interested in but would love any intel working in-house there.

I am looking to leave my current position due to not having the opportunity to run campaigns and earn experience.
However, every interview I get asked about the campaigns that I have run.
This is starting to feel like a closed loop. Any ideas are appreciated.

I do create some personal campaigns and do social media content on LinkedIn for my personal profile. That is why I get a high number of interviews but I stumble at the starting line.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
