Resources/courses/tips for merging career path with brand or creative strategy?

My career path has been anything but linear - interned in creative (copy), worked in SEO/content creation until I got my BA in advertising (minor in Psych). Worked first two years in digital media, then two in branded content + project/account management. Now in an SAE role, which I enjoy but want to continue my education in line with my interest in the big picture planning and strategy.

So my questions:

1. Is there any type of hybrid role that would incorporate each of my experiences with what I want to learn more of?
2. Are there any courses, classes, or accreditation recommended to be considered for that type of role? Preferably something that wouldn’t break the bank.
3. Any general tips on how to continue to educate myself to be a well-rounded industry professional given my experience/interest above?

You need to work at a place that does brand and creative strategy and then as you work with those teams you can begin to transfer in, that’s the simplest path.
