What's the salary range look like for senior strategy roles on the agency side in LA?

I woke up today tired.

My work cell was buzzing and then I remembered something.

I forgot to thank the bus driver that dropped me off a few days ago.

I got up and rushed downstairs to find the bus driver.

It was raining outside but I was already running barefoot to the bus stop.

I stood there soaked in my pajamas as the bus approached.

Then, the door opened. The driver got up and shook my hand.

I sat down and started my shift.

I’m the bus driver. Reminder to love and thank yourself.

Hi folks,

My current project is discontinued by client, so I’m on bench now. Im serving notice period and only 40 days are remaining. I asked HR for early release me but they denied, saying its our policy to complete NP

Is there any possibility to get early release? Whom to I contact?

Anyone at Apple willing to have a chat?

Hello,

Can ex-TCSer join back TCS??

I am trying to negotiate an internal base increase. Context is that I am at a FinTech following a key strategic and successful M&A in which I was the sole program manager. For reference I have 3 years of experience and have been offered a 10% base increase as a part of my promotion (current salary is 120k). I feel this is quite low given the market but would really appreciate any input

I’m honestly tired of being at an agency and not feeling as fulfilled as I used with strategy as a career. Have anyone here make a career change? if so, what other jobs out there - outside of agencies and client side - can you apply what you know as a strategist? Curious if anyone has done it and has some advice.

How far into implementation and execution do you get as a strategist (and what's your specialty). I notice social strategist tend to get way more into the executional portion, even writing copy etc. whereas brand strategy tends to roll off once the briefing process is done. Does brand strategy ever go on shoots or vendor/production meeting and are they responsible for it? Just had an unclear moment where it seemed like I was expected to vet production partners and I didn't realize I should've .

Thoughts on VCCP London for strategy?

Any digital engagement strategists on here with app experience? I'm looking for some temp-to-perm candidates. DM me.

Is associate and junior the same? If not, what's the difference?

Does anyone have a good lead on where to find research backed customer journeys? Either generic for an industry (like restaurant) or for major players in an industry (like chili's). I am fairly new to planning, and this keeps coming up as something and that would be helpful.
Thank you!

Starting to think about making the switch from agency to brand side. Any tips from strategists who have already made the jump? And is there a level at which it makes the most sense (i.e. should I wait until I make Director and then make the switch, or does it not really matter)?

What’s the word on Ace Metrix? Pros, cons? Every tool has them. More and more of my clients are using it... both for creative pre testing and measurement.

anyone know which agencies are hiring strategists? job market is supposed to be hot, but not seeing too many job listings on the usual spots (LI, Indeed, etc)

I interviewed with the TBWA NY strategy team and they were the saddest people in the world.

Thinking of switching to marketing at a non profit or university comms role. Any skills I need to get under@my belt before starting to apply or do you think there’s enough overlap to just learn on the job (quietly) thank you :)

Anyone have any good diversity training resources?

People of Minneapolis: how much do strategists make at your agencies?
I am looking to make sure I know my worth and would love to understand the market standard.

What have you found most helpful in training up a very green junior brand planner or junior strategist? Any particular trainings or resources that are great at teaching foundational skills? I’ll be pulling them into projects and teaching through doing but I need some assistance in building up their core skills/training the strategy muscle.

What are resources to become a better strategist?

Hi all,

I am a freelance strategist (mid-level), and I am looking for projects that I can support.
I can work remotely, and I appreciate any leads.
Thanks!

If some of the key creative leaders in your agency are actively advocating against recommending our clients take action for George Floyd or Black Lives Matter, what would you recommend doing?

What brands are you really into at the moment? Would be great to think about and be inspired by those doing a great job!
