Last week, in my previous blog, I talked about the WHY of Making Your Marketing Count. This week, we’ll dive into the WHAT, and next week we'll look at the HOW.
In my career, I learned a few lessons the hard way:
Below, we'll take an in-depth look at each of those factors.
About seven years ago, at a previous employer, my team and I were leading one of the most significant programs launched in the industry. It was disruptive, utterly different than any other competitor's offering, and aimed at an emerging demographic we weren't used to communicating with at the time.
Throughout my career, I had the privilege to interact with many leaders in the Industrial/Manufacturing sector. Our discussions on business conditions netted one common theme: We need more growth. The underlying question was: "How do we break away?"
As marketers, we work tirelessly to move the needle on what often seems like a laundry list of metrics. We look at website visits, conversion rates, generated leads per channel, engagement on social media platforms, blog post shares, email click-through rates… and the list goes on and on.

The days are flying by, and time seems to be slipping through your fingers when you’re trying to market your company as a one-member marketing team. While keeping up with the competition is your bread and butter, the idea of introducing more software, technology, and systems to keep up just seems like too much to handle, right? Wrong.
Marketing automation is a business process that uses online software platforms and related technologies to assist marketers with automating processes throughout the sales cycle, or buyer’s journey as it’s increasingly called these days. Marketing automation software can reduce time and effort by eliminating repetitive tasks.
Over the past few months, our team has been watching videos to earn HubSpot certifications in Inbound Marketing, Sales, and Marketing Automation Software. For me, it was both scary and exciting as I have not studied in the true sense of the word since my college days, and let's say that they were a while ago.
