I’m the lead for a complex engagement/project (think 25+ people on it). PPEDs - what are the top traits you value in someone in this role from your POV? Same question for associates/analysts/more junior folks.

Transparency. Being genuine (actually genuine none of this fake professionalism version of it). Caring about the best interest of people under you instead of always thinking about what’s best for the project

As someone more junior playing an M role… I think you need to be extremely organized and cut through the fluff. The best leaders across these types of projects have a solid understanding of each workstream, their next steps and dependencies. They help connect the dots because they’re across everything.

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!

Not all the time or even most of the time compared to better candidates with specific experience for the role but gives you this wildcard shot at a vast array of opportunities.
