Happy Tuesday, everyone! As we find ourselves in the delightful limbo between Christmas and New Year's, it's the perfect time to start thinking about digital marketing strategies for the upcoming year. Let's kick off the day with a touch of humour related to modern business and digital marketing. Here's a light-hearted joke to brighten your day: "Why did the marketer break up with the data analyst? Because they couldn't find a common 'metric'!" In this time of festive cheer, it's essential to remember the importance of data and analytics in the fast-paced digital marketing landscape. This joke playfully highlights the significance of aligning marketing and data analysis to achieve common goals, especially as we gear up for the new year. If you're looking to stay ahead in modern business and digital marketing, understanding and leveraging data-driven insights is key. It's all about finding the right "metrics" to measure success and drive impactful strategies. We hope this light-hearted joke brings a smile to your face and serves as a gentle reminder of the importance of data in modern business and digital marketing.

Here's some super bad advice for marketers going into 2024: 1. Don't do everything exactly as your boss asks. In most cases, they don't know marketing the way you do 2. If you are feeling overworked, ask your company to hire someone to do part of your job 3. If you think you can do better, quit your job. You can't successfully market a company where you are unhappy If you haven't figured it out, this is "bad" advice that's actually good advice.

"𝙃𝙖𝙫𝙞𝙣𝙜 𝙖𝙣 𝙚𝙢𝙥𝙡𝙤𝙮𝙚𝙚 𝙨𝙥𝙚𝙖𝙠 𝙤𝙣 𝙗𝙚𝙝𝙖𝙡𝙛 𝙤𝙛 𝙖 𝙘𝙤𝙢𝙥𝙖𝙣𝙮 𝙞𝙨 𝙨𝙘𝙖𝙧𝙮." The management team imagines the worst-case scenario of your employee commenting on a topic they should not have and causing a PR disaster. The reality is that your employees are already on social media talking about themselves, your company, and even their work. So, you need to ensure they know how to build the company name and protect your sensitive data along the way and that they understand they aren’t speaking on behalf of a company unless it is their job to do so (eg, the spokesperson). ________________________ SUNDAYFLIES - 𝘞𝘦 𝘤𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘏𝘪𝘨𝘩-𝘐𝘮𝘱𝘢𝘤𝘵 𝘌𝘮𝘱𝘭𝘰𝘺𝘦𝘦 𝘈𝘮𝘣𝘢𝘴𝘴𝘢𝘥𝘰𝘳 𝘗𝘳𝘰𝘫𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘴 𝘨𝘭𝘰𝘣𝘢𝘭𝘭𝘺.

Generalist or specialist. It’s something we get asked about a lot. Because often people aren’t 100% sure what they need. That’s why before you invest in a specialist we want you to pause for one moment. If you can’t identify one single area you need support with it’s not time to invest in a specialist. If you don’t have a tangible outcome you’re looking for then it’s not time to invest in a specialist. If you don’t have an overarching strategy it’s not time to invest in a specialist. A specialist isn’t the place you start, it’s the place you move to because you know and all the data tells you it’s the next step. So before you hire a specialist, make sure you’ve got your general marketing strategy in firmly in place. #WeAreAllMarketing #DigitalMarketing #MarketingSpecialists

What if you tweaked a few things with your marketing this week; could you get a different result 🤷♀️🤷♂️ Possibly. The challenge for human beings is we are creatures of habit, and our primitive, ‘habit’ brain doesn’t help. It likes to keep us safe, and doing the same things all the time, in theory, might keep us away from harm, and it certainly conserves our energy. ‘It’ doesn’t want us to make a mistake; it’s obsessed with time and how much we might waste when what we are considering doing has no guarantee of success. The thing is, mixing things up often allows us to create a different and often better result. [Remember the likes of Gates, Jobs, and Musk, who were willing to invest time to change what they did.] What could you switch up this week? Maybe write a few personal branding posts like this or create a new funnel to capture more candidates. Email your candidates with something of value. If you keep doing everything that you have always done; your results will never change. If you would like a few ideas on where to start, either drop me a DM or head over to the Superfast Recruitment blog.

I personally have heard this from three different clients this month alone: “I don't know when I'm going to top out of clients.” Sometimes they have too many clients for their bandwidth, and then six months later, they don't have any work at all. Why is this a major problem for your clients? Because they don't know how many people they should be hiring, they don't know how to make their business flex, and they're scared that their growth is not scalable nor sustainable. (Real fast, I apologize for ye-olde, run-of-the-mill stock "growth"stock image. Where do y'all get cool images from LinkedIn that's not cheesy?) Anyway, back to the regularly scheduled program. This might sound like a sales/CRM problem, and it partly is, but really it’s a marketing problem. It's because you lack a framework, and you lack a THING to keep all the engine/brains of your company. Stay tuned for my take on how to build a marketing strategy that helps solve this problem.
