Lately I feel less like a strategist and more like a human decoder ring. Leadership drops phrases like we need to future-proof our value story or elevate the emotional arc, and suddenly it’s my job to turn that into a roadmap, a timeline, and three OKRs by next week. I spend hours translating fuzzy vibes into action plans, then praying I guessed right. Anyone else constantly reverse-engineering strategy from buzzwords? How do you handle it?

What can you do if you’re getting interviewed by the same person who didn’t choose you in the first place?
Context: I applied for a position a while back and got interviewed, but didn’t go to the next round. I found the same position open again a month later at a different location and applied. Almost immediately, I was called for an interview, but with the same interviewer. What does this mean? Is this going to get awkward?

Looking to bring on a experiential marketing specialist (FT) with 5 years of experience - any idea of the average salary range for such position these days?

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?

What is the best way to find out if a career in Strategy is right for you?

Potential employer wants to me to write a POV for a brand, is there a specific framework you’d use or specific length?

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

Thoughts on VCCP London for strategy?

Have any strategists made the move over to consulting or client-side as a brand manager? Curious about your experience/why you made the move...

Looking for some advice here: I work for a client that loves me & I love him back as well. Get along super well with the creative team and we’re like “one team” . However, I am having problems with the management of my agency. I thought of maybe talking with my client about it (the CMO) to see if he pressures the account MDs. Any tips on how to solve this situation?

Brand planners, how much time do you typically get when you’re on a new account writing a brief for a new integrated campaign?

Curious with shortening timelines these days how long you all have to think about a brand brief.
