Is anyone on here a “Comms Planner?” I’ve always thought of them as a blend of Account + Media planning. Is that right? If so, what are some of your responsibilities in your role

Errrr, no.

@OP you are correct. It is kind of a hybrid media planning role that’s more connected with the core team. They can do great work, but in the agencies I’ve worked at, they did not “set the strategy for the whole campaign”

There are media and creative comms planners. Same title different jobs. If a brand planner figures out what the message is, the creative comms planner figures out how the message shows up, and the media comms planner figures out where in media it lives

At R/GA we say that we act as the connection between media and creative. Translate creative concepts into media tactics and help creative teams via task briefs and comms framework/strategies.

Comms planning at OMD is a deep understanding of the consumer and articulating how the creative idea comes to life across consumer touch points. Doesn’t have to be just paid media. The comms platform and framework serves as your filter for how you activate. The “how” that eventually informs the “what” (media channels, tactics, partnerships, etc.)

Creative agencies think they own this job but I would argue media agencies are better positioned to deliver. We have way more data and research available. Many creative agencies don’t understand what a comms platform is because it’s not employee on every account. They get all upset when they think it’s a rewrite of their brand platform. It’s not.

What office are you in OP?

I also tried communications planning

Comms should set the strategy and insights for the whole campaign. From creative to media

From my understanding they set the channel strategy where as media planner set the budgets and keep track of the budget so that it stay true to comma

I got an offer at Nokia, and my new manager said that she wanted to put me in the higher salary bracket however the HR insisted that we lowered the range. That caused me to receive a much lower salary than expected. Should I renegotiate even when my manager said that she tried giving me more. Does HR really play that big of a role in this?

Had my virtual on-site for an S&O L3 role 3.5 weeks ago (NYC, 5 YOE). I haven’t heard back on a decision yet, and was wondering how long it typically takes? I also know that I was one of the very first candidates to interview for this specific role, and there are atleast 2 more people scheduled for onsites. Does the recruiter typically wait for all candidates to finish their onsites before communicating a decision? Or if I haven’t heard back yet, it’s probably a reject?
