Yesterday I spoke about wanting to get into the comm field because I have my degree in PR & Advertising. Thank you to all who helped. I work at home for a big financial company, we all are connected through Microsoft teams, would it be too forward if me to try and message someone in the communications department just about general questions to try and build a connection there? I’d love to stay at my company and just move to corporate internal or external communications.

Not at all. You should absolutely reach out. There’s a huge difference between internal/external comms, and you’re going to want to explore the roles and responsibilities of each before jumping into something.

Reach out! We are always looking for people and if I can bring someone in that knows the org - I can teach them anything!

Hi all, I’d love to hear from PR/Comms folks about the process of transitioning from agency to an in-house role. What kind of chance does a PR pro with ~7 years of solid experience across CPG and hospitality brands, including a mix of global agency work and smaller boutique firms, have at going in house? Do you typically need more experience before going in house? Would be great to hear about various experiences from those that have made the transition. Thanks!
