Why would excel skills help you succeed as a strategist?

K.

I think understanding how to build arrays for pivot tables is key.

But are you just using it as a fancy calculator?

Overall I would say that excel is built for power users. What that means for you is that there are shortcuts for everything. Learn them. Force your self to do stuff with keyboard shortcuts. If you play video games it is like learning the control scheme. It actually becomes inefficient to use a mouse after a while, as you learn them.

Campaigns Building Hype Over Time

Wondering if you folks have any strong examples of campaigns / product launches that used a window of time (maybe 2 or 3 months) in an interesting way to drive demand or buzz around a product / brand.

"Netflix Is A Joke", Axe's Susan Glenn campaign, and Who Is Louise Delage? come to mind but any other examples are much appreciated!

Hi all, does anyone have a good framework they would recommend for developing HCP/physician communication strategies and defining tactics for HCP engagement (outside of pharma reps)? There is of course a ton out there for patient communications such as patient journey mapping but engaging HCPs is a very different beast. Looking for something a bit more nuanced than a traditional consumer framework. Thanks!

I’m currently one of the largest media agencies and we don’t have a comms practice. I’ve applied for connections strategy roles at other agencies but haven’t heard anything back. Looking at my skill set and the job description they seem very aligned. Is it a super competitive field? Where is the most opportunity - creative, media or PR agencies? Is this a dying role and that’s why there aren’t larger teams/available positions?
