Seriously, is there a shelf life for strategists? Clients don’t want to pay for senior people when they can get cheaper digital strategists (who may or may not know brand). What’s our sell-by date?

Great question. I transitioned into strategy from
Account as I was advised this was the more extendable path as account people turn more into project mgmt. We’ll see...

With the rising competition between agencies and consultancies I’d imagine it’s being extended in places where strat is valued. If a particular agency is looked at as mainly execution that may not be the case.

And therein lies the problem so many agencies have right now

Hey Fishies, I'm wondering if anyone could make a recommendation- I'm looking for software that does the following:

I can pre-set a list of x5 questions into this software
I can send recipient a link to the software
Recipient is recorded answering each question in succession (with the option to re-record)
I can access the recordings as a single file to post (with permission of course)

It's similar to video interview software but I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. Thanks!
