I'm changing careers. I started off in brand management consulting (which is somewhat related) then moved into financial consulting. This left me with few people to talk to about making a transition into a marketing role. Hence my question to Chris :D @Jackie Danicki: No, this wasn’t a ploy to get linked. I’m changing careers.

My guess is that outing oneself as not knowing a lot about marketing as a ploy to get a link isn't the brightest strategy. Jackie,

Was this just a ploy to get linked? It strikes me as odd that someone who thinks they qualify as a “marketing strategist” would need advice on how to market themselves.
