What do you do when you get an analytics project and you are so lost? I have seeked out hp, but even when being walked through some analyses (although very briefly), I am still a bit lost

Lots of good resources/videos online if you’re trying to understand something specific. Also, be up front with management about your understanding early into the project to set expectations. The worst thing you can do in analytics is “fake it until you make it” and end up with analyses that are incorrect.

Ask for more help? People above you don't know you need help if you don't ask for it. Sure, there's 'risk' in coming off as being uninformed, but it sounds like you don't even have enough of a basis to understand where to start, and that's an onus on your team.

I guess real question is - how do you get better at data and financial analytics? Any recommendations?

What analyses are you speaking about? The range of potential analysis is vast.
Your firm should have internal learning resources if it is of decent size.

Sell an AI/ML predictive analytics tool to the client instead and run.

Should I be mindful about how much I’m spending or should I blow up the budget until someone says something?

Hello,

I am currently a Health Admin Fellow at a leading healthcare system. I am in a phase during my fellowship where I will have to start searching for a role within the system in the next 3 months.

I was wondering what kind of role would be best step forward for an admin fellow.

I was offered a project coordinator role but feel I should not accept the same without looking at other options. I aim to seek out a project manager role and was wondering if this would be the wrong step forward.

Would love some thoughts on what title structure makes the most sense for my agency /translates within the advertising industry. Our Project Management dept was pretty flat until recently.

Now would be the time to change it within our dept if we’re ever going to. Currently we have: (see comments)

Testing TV files for Extreme Reach

Is there a website or portal you can use to test TV files before submitting? I have a client who handles their own traffic, so anytime Extreme Reach rejects or even questions something that is not a problem, it gets kicked back and a bunch of clients get CC'd on an email saying: "this failed QA."

At every other agency I've worked on, we would be able to handle any kickback or tweaks internally with zero client involvement. I'd love a way to test files.
