What is the difference between B2C and B2B planning? I tend approach strategizing on b2b projects with the same mindset. But I see folks out there who specialize in B2B. Can you help me understand the nuances?

Hi ladies! 👋 since we don’t have any chatter boxes (yet😉) I figured I would share the LinkedIn messages I get from recruiters with job opportunities. Good luck and feel free to reach out if you have any questions!

How do you all reenergize during the day, especially the days filled with meetings and you need to find the energy to think and design a solution?

Hey, work at Big 4 in San Diego office doing fin services - want to move into something techish related in San Diego. Any thoughts?

Is it possible to lateral to MBB from Big 4? I was an experienced hire with an MBA but had no consulting experience. Now that I have some consulting under my belt I’d like to at least look into the possibility of moving up the prestige ladder and making more money. What does the process look like? Should I reach out to recruiters on LinkedIn or what’s the best approach if there is one?

3 YOE in M&A consulting. Interested in education consulting for high school and higher ed. No idea if this is a feasible path.

Any firms I should look at? NYC based.

Also - is the salary for these types of jobs significantly less than management consulting?

Looking for a role in TA, I have 15+YOE in Human Resources and Business Administration, willing to relocate to Delhi, NCR, Bangalore.

Current CTC -12 LPA
Expected CTC -15LPA

Taking a new role in industry after 2 years in public. It’s about a 70% increase from current salary and between 25-30% increase from expected salary after promotion to Senior (find out later today what my new figure would have been). It’s a remote position making solid money and interesting work/field. Just worried I’m leaving public too soon. Raises will be 2-4% in new role until promotion so I will catch up in public about 3-4 years from now. Thoughts?

Hi Guys,

Thoughts on EW MBA from Booth/Kellogg/Haas. Currently SC at Deloitte and want to transition to tier 1 consulting firms

New to consulting world — I’ve heard different labels for tiers of firms: Big 3, Big 4, M7, Top 15, etc. Some of these were easy to Google, but is there an exhaustive explanatory list somewhere?

Copywriter very interested in leaning more into strategy. Any recs for learning sources, podcasts, online courses, etc.? (Beyond connecting with my strat department)

What’s a recent ad that you would’ve done differently?

Where do strategists typically go next for career client-side wise?
What types of roles should I be applying for...product marketing, insights, brand managers, director marketing and what level?

How often do you have downtime at work? My projects come in hot and then quiet, sometimes for weeks. I keep myself occupied but was wondering if that’s standard for this industry.

What are senior strategists making in LA? Any good agencies to look at?

How many times can different brands/companies use virtually the same campaign as each other and still call it original?

Anyone interested in purchasing a SXSW Film badge at the early bird special cost of $895?

My agency just implemented ‘quick starts’ on campaigns, meaning we basically forgo strategy and briefs and go straight to brainstorming ideas. How redundant has our planning department just become?

Would you move to an Account Director position? Why would you? Why not?
Currently being offered this position and really confused if I should take the plunge

After 12+ years in FTE roles both agency and brand side in strategy/brand marketing/social strat roles. Thinking about taking it freelance. But I’ve never done freelance or consulting before - ever. Would love to connect with someone who’s done this (or does it on the side) - would anyone be open to do a Zoom call with me to answer questions/give me advice? As a token of my appreciation, I’d send you a Drizly (or Seamless, DoorDash, or UberEats) gift card so we could make it a happy hour!

(Strategic/brand planning) Making the move from Associate Director to Director: what do you consider the major differences between the two posts? Responsibilities, expectations, qualifications, etc.

Key factors to look out for when you intend to relocate for a job?

Does anyone know what RGA’s strategy team is like these days? Any really great leaders? Anything unique about the process?

Does anyone know of any good recruiters that place agency strategists into client side roles?

I feel like what we do is super beneficial to creative but that's not how it's perceived by a lot of people on here. What do y'all think? How are you feeling/responding to all the hate?

What’s your dream client-side gig?

Anyone have a go to framework they use to write positioning “strategies?” Or just a typical strategy? Could use inspiration— I feel I always default to the same setup. It’s not broken, but I’m bored!

What should a planner with 1 year of experience be capable of doing or have already accomplished in their career? I’m worried that I am behind

Decade+ in and realizing I would rather be either in pure play brand consulting (like an Interbrand) or in consumer/culture advisory (deeper thought leadership, trends, consulting, like a Gartner or a WGSN ish) than stay in ad agencies working on campaign development. Has anyone made a pivot like this successfully? I feel like I am at a point where there are some skills or experiences those worlds require that I haven’t been able to “go deep” on, consistently in agency brand planning world.

Need a good vendor for testing design, specifically new logo and brand systems. Still iffy on if it’ll be qual or quant. Anyone you ❤️?
