Generally speaking, a senior strategist is going to have more experience in the briefing process and will likely be autonomous in both briefing and owning relationships with creatives, clients, et al. You’re not waiting on a strategic lead/director, but you’re producing a body of work and leveraging whoever you’re reporting to as more of a sounding board, less of an approver.
From an efficiency perspective, a senior strategist can also usually produce a brief and start the project timeline more quickly than a mid-level counterpart. Less to do with base knowledge, more to do with # of reps and ability to translate solutions from historical accounts, work streams, campaigns.
If you’re asking the questions, and you’re feeling confident, you’re probably ready. Go get that promo. Rooting for you.
🥹🥹🥹 that actually means a lot. Thank you
Anyone from undercurrent or BBH want to share those charts? 😇
Your current company should also have the roles and responsibilities for each level mapped out in a document. Worth asking your manager if you haven’t already. The Undercurrent one can be googled.
They don’t! 😃 I even pointed it out to HR

don’t worry about the BS list of responsibilities. Just go get what you want. Either at your company or another one. Stop acting like a wage slave and start living.
🤨 I want to set myself up for success. If an interviewer for another company asks me to explain what my day yo day is, I’d like to be able to hit key points? Even to tell my boss that I deserve a promotion and why, I should know what to argue?
There’s a few charts about responsibilities at every level floating around. One from Undercurrent and one from BBH. See if you can ask around for it
Are you at Ogilvy too?
