From the outside looking in: I gather they’re an American company that has acquired their way into the Canadian market through buying Camp Jefferson. Given that’s what they are, and given the interesting timing of their decision to move in terms of the current macroeconomic circumstances, I can’t imagine the place would be any semblance of chill.

Hi all. I can't help but feel that my current 'Digital Managing Partner' job title is a little too niche when it comes to LinkedIn job/resume keyword relevance, particularly outside of a media agency environment. However, a 'Digital Director' title feels too junior and 'Managing Director' maybe a little more senior. Any logical suggestions please? Thanks
