Marketers Barely Managing | Podcast Guru

Details

Surviving Mondays together. Every Monday, we marketers face a new week with the same old challenges: colleagues who think they know our craft as well as we do, managers who drop random ideas as new strategies to execute, technologies threatening our jobs, and audiences waiting in their basements for us to make a mistake. We vent. We relate. We commiserate. We get through another Monday. Together. Enjoy the show. Dabble into the WhatsApp community. Survive this week being all the marketer you can be.

Her answer is yes, at least a little, but she makes th...

Do You Know Your Brand Style Guide By Heart?

Send us Fan Mail Rachel goes deep on brand style guides this week, the "bible" every marketer needs and so few actually build.

My Wife Works in Social Media

Send us Fan Mail Rachel takes on the classic "you're in marketing, do something" ask this week, the one where a loved one keeps her in their back pocket as a threat to whip out on customer service reps. Cue her husband, who goes in hot on every call and, when all else fails, drops the "my wife works in social media" card (spoiler: it doesn't work, and it never has). Rachel breaks down why the tag-a-brand-and-watch-them-scramble era is basically over now that social is fragmented across a doze...
