Looking to go onto the Brand side from an ad agency. I’m currently a senior account executive (4.5year exp) hoping to secure a position as associate brand manager. Should I aim higher, and how much salary range should I ask?

In my experience, brand management is an MBA type role and may or may not correlate to account management. But, in some cases it's more focused on branding, in which case that title makes sense for a transition.

It's very competitive to get these roles. Honestly, it's going to be tough for you unless you get a buddy on the inside who hires you directly. Aim much lower like analyst or coordinator. Director level on the agency side transfers to ABM (without an MBA) at big companies with legacy brands and big budgets.

Any tips on how to deal with this…my entire team was let go today (was 5, now just me). We functioned as the Marketing team for 4 brands and primarily focused on product launches and sustaining social media content. My plan moving forward is to only focus on the top revenue driving product launches for now and say “no” to basically everything else. Would love to hear from anyone who has been in a similar situation and can offer some advice.
