Sort of houseplant related... but does anyone actually have experience with large fake plants, specifically the best places to get them? I have a large collection of live houseplants but I wanted a large (5’) fake plant for a place in my house that gets little to no sunlight. A lot of the ones I’ve seen look super cheap for how much they cost and I figured someone here might have some good advice :) TIA

Book recommendations? I’ve been reading atomic habits, and have moved onto Traders guns and money.

New to Toronto, moved to the west end of town/ just past - in Etobicoke. I celebrate my 40th a few days after NYE/NYD - would love some recommendations on moderately priced but nice ambiance restaurants for myself + husband, and my extended family. Everyone is scattered throughout (Hamilton, Barrie, Lyle, Newmarket, North York). Don’t want anything too fancy but don’t really know where or what is good and not downtown.


Any recommendations? (Open to GTA of course).

Hi, I am currently working at Bisleri in a quality control role with 6 YOE. My current CTC is very low (4 LPA) and I have not found any motivation or growth in my role since COVID. I'd like to be in the design industry (Graphic Design or UI UI Design). Currently I am freelancing in my spare time. My question to Design professionals is: how feasible will the switch be? Will I be accepted as an intern/junior designer in my early 30s?

Deloitte USI is offering me 15.5 LPA+10% variable.
Fujitsu Consulting India is offering me 22 LPA fixed.

I am SAP EWM consultant with 5 Years of exp.

Deloitte's brand value will add a feather to the hat. But heard about its toxic WLB as well. Not aware of the role and project details though.

Fujitsu is offering me an Implementation role and its a long term project for Japanese Manufacturer.

I absolutely hate creating tactical maps/ecosystems/plumbing charts etc. I love actually working on developing brand plans and tactics- and even the understanding of channels. Should I change fields? What else is there?

I’m being provided the opportunity to build an integrated planning group in my agency. We’ll be responsible for things like:

What would you recommend for comms planning training and/or books (other than Julian Cole - which I have done)? Looking at adding more comms planning to my skill set (which is more brand and digital at present). I’m on a client-side team (for context).

I’m struggling a bit. Can any kind of person show me awesome examples of comms plans that really lifted the creative idea? I learn best by seeing examples or case studies. I can explain below...

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)? There is of course a ton out there for patient communications such as patient journey mapping but engaging HCPs is a very different beast. Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

After making it through all rounds of interviews at Apple, I was informed the comms planning role I am after was cut due to hiring freezes. That said, I am being offered a contractor role with potential for full time conversion if the role opens up. Any advice?

Anyone else have to deal with your head of Brand Planning constantly trying to tear down the value of Comms Planning? Is it fear that we will replace them? Or perhaps he's just fundamentally insecure.
