Following the company's restructuring to organize around expertise areas, my role shifted from a client and campaign focus to our new Strategic Planning group. On our client teams, Strategic Planners help make the best choices between better alternatives toward the right objectives. My role is to ensure that the team is asking the right questions and learning what’s necessary to give clients our best work and counsel at pivotal moments throughout our engagement.
