Why ask for research if you’re going to ignore the results? We did a 10-week sprint with interviews, surveys, competitor analysis, etc. The insights were clear. Then leadership skimmed the summary and said, “Let’s go with our gut. It just feels right.” I wanted to scream.

Am I the only who’s embarrassed when someone asks what do i do? Im an auditor btw

Hey All,
I am planning to rent a house in Marathalli/Brookefield/Kadubesanahalli
Budget - 25k
Which platform should I look after for a good gated community house

I have 30k sitting in a Bank of America account. What should I do with it? How should I invest? Help! Don't need the money in the next year or so

Thinking of dipping my toes into real estate and wanted to see if anyone has any books/ podcasts/ courses or even any tips or advice that you wish you had when you got started?

Goal is to diversify my investments past the stock market. Any help is appreciated!

Got hired as a digital strategy consultant. I have over 10 years of industry experience but I’m new to consulting. What courses, workshops or books would you recommend to build a solid toolkit?

Hi fishes,

When can I expect a call from tcs hr for HR discussion.after technical i got mail to upload the documents in the portal for initiating offer.

How many days after uploading the docs the status changes to Verified?

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)?

Has anyone ever worked with Mark Pollard or Julian Cole? Are they as great as they seem?

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.

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!

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!

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.

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

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

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’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.

Planning director vs strategy director. Whats the diff? Is there a diff?

I feel like a planning director wouldnt know how to manage digital strgy while a strgy dir would be much more well rounded

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.

In general? Or advertising

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)

You're seen as a"job hopper" and decide no matter what, you're committing to this new job for at least two years. feeling super dedicated no matter what. Then they start making you do illegal sht.

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

Can anyone recommend a good headhunter that has experience in placing agency strategists on the client side (not just agency only)?

Top agencies to complete an internship in Detroit area?

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 :)
