What's the difference?

UM has a really solid comms planning discipline and process. I disagree with OMD if you're talking New York office.

On the media agency side, I very much enjoyed OMD in Playa Vista, CA. Currently just moved to RPA in Santa Monica, CA so nice to see how a media department works in conjunction with other departments at a full-service agency. Great culture and focus on people as well as amazing work/life balance. Highly suggest!

Campaign Roll Out / Cadence

I want to get smart on best ways to plan content / paid media over time. I have Julian Cole's template from his 'Framework Factory' - kinda helpful but I always default to a "pre / hero moment / post" cadence and it feels lazy/unoriginal.

Are there books/articles/classes that unpack high level scenarios? Any particular agencies that are masterfuI at this? Don't think I need to get into the nitty gritty of media buying but it'd help to understand basic principles
