In my experience, the best way to move from an account to a strategy role would be to build up your strategic thinking skills and showcase your expertise in problem-solving. This could involve leading strategy discussions in your current role, actively seeking out strategic projects and initiatives, and seeking out mentorship from senior strategists within the company.

As an AAE, there’s a bit of a long road ahead up to change to strategy. However, our IPG New Business Coordinators usually transfer to strategic support roles after about a year. Maybe pursuing the swap to be a new business coordinator would help facilitate the path but unsure fully how to proceed. Those junior planner roles are always fascinating to me.

You should prepare yourself by focusing on you applicable skills. You should always be ready to accept tasks and demonstrate satisfactory results. Hone you communication and critical thinking skills because those are the main skills that you will need the most.

Definitely takes a while but it's not impossible! I think you can take on a more strategic role in how you manage the account and use that as a way to pivot

Is 7 weeks too early to start thinking I may have made a huge mistake in switching to my current gig? I left the last place because it was overr toxic and terrible W/L balance, for one that seemed to be more “fun” and more realistic hours, only to find that I’ve now been working 12 -14 hours a day and just drowning and feeling like I cannot catch up or catch my breath. Everyone is in the same boat here which is why I’m so overwhelmed so quickly with no support. Is this an immediate red flag?

Throughout my career, I have worked at both “traditional” and “digital” shops. My current agency would fall under traditional but also offers digital services. Our process, roles and skillsets seem way outdated but I wasn’t sure if it was just my opinion or if this is just how it works. For example, we have no CTO or tech leads. Our digital producers feel more like project managers than actual producers. Account Management is just traditional, no real digital knowledge. Feels layered and dated.
