What are some other industries or roles that you think a strategist could pivot to if they wanted to leave advertising (specifically from an agency background)? Any success stories you’ve heard of?

Same also trying to leave this background

Depends on the level of discomfort the strategist is willing to take. You can become a marketing manager for startups and small companies, but it comes with the cost of being 1000% responsible for everything you do and lacking that support system an agency provides, and OF smaller budgets.

I’m a senior planner leading one brand and there’s a new strategist on the team working on a sister brand. They’ve been asking for every strategy deck I’ve made on that brand as an example to go by to inform the thinking/flow on the sister brand. Also because I mentioned it went well with client when they ask. All for sharing thinking w/ the team & I know we feel imposter syndrome to varying degrees, but I also feel like it’s good for planners to find their own voice/style/flow. Thoughts?
