Generally, marketers are more in touch with pop culture and trends because they have to be. I dressed a bit more fashionable than “business casual” to meet with some internal folks this week and had a thought:

Is it a good sign if your marketer is in touch with trends and wears big brands?

Some of the best social media marketers I worked with did not have personal social media accounts.

Oh wow that’s very interesting!!

If you care more about appearances rather than what you can actually bring to the table sure.... never once have I gone "dang this guy is really fashionable....I trust him" if anything dressing big name brands to be flashy shows me your materialistic more than anything else

Brands and logos ≠ fashionable. I'd lean towards its more of poor taste to be flashing big logos at work.

I enjoy being stylish and showing my personality in my fits but I try and keep it very minimal to the logos.. like 1 branded item like shoes or belt, never wearing multiple branded items at once. I dress the way I do to look nice and because I love fashion (not logos) but I hope no one is trying to measure my competence by what I wear.

Agree! Wear your personal brand!

Ultimately it doesn’t matter, the best product marketer I’ve ever worked with had zero fashion sense and that’s ok. I guess what I’m getting at is sometimes wearing flashy brands in the office is frowned upon, but would you not want marketing to embrace the flashiness?

Think Katheryn Hahn’s character in The Studio. Great example imo.

With product design questions, I struggle to identify user groups. Once I do everything starts flowing and I’m confident. But the initial identification of user groups is something I find challenging. What’s your go-to way of doing this? For example, the question “design a podcasting app for truck drivers.” What types of truck drivers can I select so that I can prioritize a user group to focus on and begin identification of pain points and solutions?

Hey, I am appearing for a pre-sales engineer interview. It will be a sort of role-play demo session, where the team will want to understand how I present, how I manage a room, how I keep my audience engaged and also your technical abilities when asked regarding the solution. I have a liberty to choose any data science related product. I am essentially confused as to what product to choose, and how to structure the presentation. I would highly appreciate tips and suggestions. Thanks

I'm a marketer and I'm having a hard time getting my clients to listen to me.

I have been in marketing for 10 years now. I've worked with hundreds of clients and have been able to increase their sales by over $1 million each year.

But every time I go into a meeting with a new client, they ignore everything I say. They just want to talk about their product. They don't seem interested in learning how to market it better.

Many thanks.
