It’s a project management title, but titles can be weird... what type of agency?

We are going through an account/program transition at Ogilvy where account people are having their titles changed to program at mid and in some cases senior levels. The way it was explained to me, you are account if you are bringing in revenue. If you are managing the day to day business, that has become program. Lots of people are very confused about the whole thing.

In my experience, a program manager is different than Account. They have more project mgmt responsibilities. It is very likely that some more junior account folks will be transitioned over based on their skill set. Some account people are better suited as PMs, vs being responsible to drive the business, think strategically and own the client relationship.

Makes sense ! I feel most AE roles are day to day as opposed to bringing in revenue anyway so does she strange. Thank you

I have been a head of marketing for the last 10 years. 9 of those for a B2B/B2C company with $350M annual revenue. The last year and a half, I have been the head of marketing for a VC backed company with $90M annual revenue. I was contacted by a recruiter for a CMO role for a $80M VC backed company.

A question a friend asked me left me thinking. The question was: am I ready for the next level?

What am I not thinking about? I have done the job for larger companies.

I’m an FA at ML, been in the role for 1 year and 8 months, but have 23 years of industry experience. Quarterly, I have a performance review call with my Market Executive and until today never heard anything negative… my growth is slower than I’d like and definitely I’m sure that’s why, but today he said last time “they” wanted to give me a letter of education and he talked “them” out of it. First of all, who is “they” / “them” and what would the letter of education be for? Any thoughts?
