What certificates/training should I do in order to apply for a brand manager/marketing manager on the brand side? Almost regretting my choices since I come from a prominent pharma ad agency as an account, and it seems like most brands consider account as sales, and limit pharma transition into non-pharma industry.

Big company with big ad budgets? An MBA. Small company / unsexy corporate with little to no brand budgets? They'll take anyone and any training/certificate with the word "digital" in it would most likely work.
