Media
Career advisory for media
The short answer
Yes. Media careers are being reshaped by consolidation and platform shifts, so the work is equal parts positioning for the roles that still exist and honest feasibility analysis for adjacent fields where your skills transfer intact.

What changes by the end

Engagements built for this
Questions people ask
- I was laid off. Where should I start?
- With the Career Strategy Intensive if direction is unclear, or the Job Search Partnership if you know the target and need traction. A consultation confirms which one fits.
- Can journalism experience transfer to other fields?
- Regularly, into communications, content strategy, research and product roles. The Career Pivot Accelerator tests the specific move rather than assuming it.
