Hi folks, I am working with a few friends on a fintech idea. I opted to build the marketing roadmapping strategy for the soft launch/prototype phase as I want to learn about the field. Any guidance where should I start? Any guidance, books, topics will be helpful 😊

Hey all. Seeing a lot of posts here of people sharing their "books". As a marketing strategist looking for a new opportunity, what is essential to include in a book? My work isn't exactly flashy like a designer's might be. Should I put some of my case studies together? Do you all host your books online? Any tool recommendations for creating these?

I want to learn marketing techniques outside of school, any websites or books any marketers would recommend ??

Looking for senior designers that knows shopper marketing. Please DM with books!

My professional life at the moment is far from ideal. I’ve been on quarantine (long story, but a good one) for the last seven years. Royalties from my books don’t pay the bills. My entrepreneurial pursuits remain hampered. For the interim, I’ve been looking for a remote opportunity where I can leverage my skills in marketing, sales, social media, and elsewhere for a decent sum. I have a social media presence which, in recent years, reached millions. There has to be something exciting I can do.

Does anyone have recommendations on books or courses that do a really good job explaining step-by-step on how to start and run a mid-size business (local marketing agency, self storage real estate business, call center for third parties, etc.)

Hey all! Need a couple book recs for an upcoming beach trip.

Looking for a great non-fiction, relating to travel or world history (not just one moment in time). Could also be about the marketing world or memoirs of a business leader kinda thing.

Fiction wise I also like fantasy, paranormal, and romance. Some fave book series are the Black Gryphon from Mercedes Lackey, Game of Thrones, and From Jamaica Lane series. Similar books?

Imagine you're looking for a remote job at a large company with a sophisticated marketing function, strong manager, and room for growth. Making good traction, but then you're contacted by a company in a niche that FASCINATES you...like you read books about this subject for fun, you'd probably love this job. It's remote, the salary is good, the manager is nice, but you'd be the most senior marketing person; the company is about 200 people. What would you do?

Does anyone here work in book publicity/marketing?

I currently work in B2B marketing and have determined what I really want to do is market books, especially fiction. I'm looking for some insight into the industry to understand if it's possible to make the shift, and if so, what it will take.

If anyone's available to talk, please let me know! Would be very grateful for insights.

What are some must read books that will help me understand the biopharma industry? I'd like to have a clearer view of the process from preclinical to marketing stage and just have a general background of the different major players, spec pharma field, the rise of CDMOs and CROs in the space, etc.

My background is in tech transactional. I joined a cybersecurity SaaS startup at the end of last year and now also handle more generalist matters in addition to all things commercial-related. I have a number of books on contracts that I’ve found super helpful over the years (The Tech Contracts Handbook, A Manual of Style for Contract Drafting, Sign Here, etc.). Can anyone recommend books they’ve found helpful for L&E matters, privacy matters, product matters, or marketing/advertising matters?

Hi all, I’m looking for ways to develop myself professionally. I would love recommendations or tips on how you continue education in your field to stay relevant and continue to learn about different marketing strategies.

Any tips on really good conferences, programs, classes, books, would be so so appreciated.

I’m currently a senior manager for local marketing activations on a planned path to become a director. Thank you!

Any good books or articles worth reading on product marketing and analytics? I come from more of a technical and general product management background, so I personally feel like I lack on the marketing side. Like Search engine optimization, etc. Thank you.

Anyone good marketing books recommendations or online certifications?

Hi friends! I’m looking for resources to help me be successful in a “Functional Lead” role.

The role is in FinTech
I’m responsible for strategy, comms and key partnerships for a bank product. It reports through Customer Experience but touches product, Ops. marketing. It’s basically a Project Manager role but more nuanced.

Anyone out there in a role like this? Any books. videos or even best practices to share?

Joining FAANG in a few months as a Product marketing manager, potentially with a new product growth focus. Any ex-consulting PMM/PM with advice and tips on how to ramp-up skills/toolset fast? (e.g, books, podcasts, sites)

Hi everyone!! Any suggestions on podcasts, books, articles that help you grow your knowledge in marketing? I’d love to learn it all, but especially as it pertains to field marketing/events would be fantastic ♥️

I currently work in a hybrid sales/marketing role. However, I would love more experience in marketing specifically so I can move in to a marketing specific role. Does anyone have a suggestion of books or articles, podcasts, organizations to follow that will allow me to stay up to date on the latest trends but also help prepare for a marketing centric role? Thank you

Hey everyone! Could you recommend any good materials/books/courses on IT services, B2B marketing?

Best books or resources about restaurant marketing?

What's the biggest lesson the military has taught you?

My overthinking is getting a little hard to handle. Every day my thoughts are super negative, regardless of whether or not I'm having a "good" day, in the background is my mind telling me all the ways I could fail. Yoga has been suggested to me more than once, has anyone had success using it to defeat overthinking like this?

Is it taboo to ask about salary or maternity leave before an offer? If not, how soon is it acceptable?

My insurance plan (UHC) runs via calendar year. I’m due end of January. Wondering how it works in terms of paying for delivery since I obviously will not have met my deductible by the end of the month. Anyone in the same boat or has been before?.. 🥴

Do you guys give your kids a bath right after they come back from daycare/school?. My 4yr old always looks so dirty (from playing outside) that I usually have to give her a bath immediately.

I am available for Per Diem appearances in New Jersey. DM Me.

I’m feeling like a fool today. Was so stressed out and overwhelmed (clients don’t do any work and it piles up on me) and cried on the phone during a call with my SM. Now I just felt like I showed my weakness. This week and the past few months/weeks I haven’t even hardly played or spent time with my kids. I am a single mom of two trying to make it in my career and be a good mom. I feel like I am failing at both. Do you feel that way too?

Has anyone pushed away from Islam and left come back to it at a different point in their life?

Is it super petty of me to keep calling and generally bugging potential clients when they ghost me and refuse to respond? To be clear, this is a policy I reserve for people who get way deep into the process, let we’re about to sign contracts, and then they just vanish.

Any recs for social scheduling tools that work best for LinkedIn and Twitter? Tried Hootsuite but it doesn’t let you tag people for LinkedIn and will randomly delete drafts 😒

Is Sprout Social the go-to analytics and scheduling platform for everyone? or are there better ones out there?

Does anyone have a spreadsheet or advice on how they track where they are getting customers from? I have a substack newsletter that I post to Facebook and Twitter. I want to track where new signups are coming from. How do I do this?

Trying to get creatives to think beyond posts. What are some great social-first campaigns in recent years? Or, campaigns that led to a ton of social dialogue?

How do you measure success and what tools do you use to track KPI’s and create custom monthly reports for clients? How do you calculate the percentage of improvement?

I am seeking brand strategy, social strategy and community management experts to be guest speakers in my two classes at FIDM (fashion institute of design and merchandising) in DTLA this quarter.

Has anyone had issues with their connection between Facebook and Instagram? Tried disconnecting/reconnecting multiple times and nothing seems to do the trick. Any insight appreciated – thanks y’all!

Do you ever feel like your mental health is deteriorating because of all the time you spend on social media for your job? I do.

In your honest opinions, when do YOU actually take a creator seriously/ have respect for a creator? (can be an influencer/ UGC creator/ Tiktoker/ Youtuber/ Twitcher etc.)

Is it by the amount of followers, engagement rate, their professionalism from onboarding to off boarding, our personal opinion of their content, or?

I’m keen to know what is it that you do (if you’re in marketing/ social media or corporate) and your thoughts.

Thank you! :)
