How big of a red flag is it that a company doesn’t have a marketing strategy/plan in place? I’ve been asking for this from my director but alway get some type of an excuse so I’m starting to believe there isn’t one. We are a company with over 200+ employees and 4+ locations

That would be really concerning to me. How big is the marketing team? I’ve been on a super small team and worked directly with the VP to make sure we had a plan in place for the year and for the quarter. Without a plan you’re pretty much flying blind each quarter. Though I suppose it depends on if you prefer structure or constant pivoting as plans will likely keep changing without a plan
