Looking for recommendations on how to jump into roles that focus on paid search, social or programmatic. I've been a planner working on everything from TV, OOH, print to digital/email, however cannot get into roles that have anything related to search or social. I keep getting the "you don't have experience" I don't work for a company that allows me the ability to shadow another team/department. Any suggestions/roles? Only looking for remote.

Look into trainings. Google (YT & search), meta, x, LinkedIn all have trainings and certifications that you can do and put in your resume or LinkedIn. Programmatic is very similar so if you can show success on social it’s easy to transfer your skills to programmatic.

Maybe you can tell your boss you’re interested in having cross training so you can speak to the traditional vs digital channels’ respective places in the media ecosystem and funnel better.

Or perhaps if you’re friendly with anyone on those teams, (ie having worked on the same account), you could ask them if they could walk you through the tools they use or how they approach their work.

At the outset, I think you’d want to make sure that you would want to do that type of work before getting into it.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
