How do you make your tradeshow booths inviting and interesting on a shoestring budget? We have a nice, nothing out of the norm, backdrop, our set up is properly branded.

Swag is hard to justify budget for, so we have pens and cool telescopic flashlights we give to people who fit our ideal customer profile or at least have a meaningful interaction with us.

Lastly, I bring Moonpies ... they seem to be different enough from what everyone else offers.

Waiting to hear about whether you got an offer after a final interview is a special type of torture 😬 send me all the positive vibes pls

Hi Folks,

I have recently switched and was lucky enough to get a decent offer.

I would like to know where can I start investing my money to get decent to good returns on my money.

Also, is it a good idea to get a house at this stage of my career? I am 27 years old. I looked here and there but the EMI that I would have to pay per month freaked me out. 😅

Thank you.

I'm looking for an Senior Associate/Consultant level opportunity in Pricing Strategy or Sales Strategy. Have 6yoe in Sales, Marketing, and Pricing and graduated MBA this summer with concentration in Pricing.
Can someone please help. FYI, I'm looking for this because my MBA internship company refused to sponsor and hence didn't give full time offer.

Finally started buying crypto this summer after sitting on the sidelines. Great gains, but trying hard not to FOMO buy now... you guys backing off temporarily or just buying through this bull run?

Thoughts on the new Mustang? I’m a bit underwhelmed…

I’m a recent grad & began my first career as a marketing coordinator. It’s been quite frustrating to say the least. The company doesn’t understand the purpose of marketing, & recently hopped into the digital world - many of which don’t find it valuable. On the other hand, my manager assigns me lots of copy projects to do & either doesn’t give me informational feedback or completely disregards my work. Before I was hired, she knew exactly how my writing style was like but doesn’t use it. Help! :(

Does anyone have experience taking the Marketing Management and Digital Strategy Graduate Certificate at Harvard Extension School or other certificate? Thoughts?

How do y’all deal with people at work who are stuck on stupid? Like they have no idea what they’re talking about and they REFUSE to learn. It’s like they have a god complex or something even with proof, maybe bc of their tenure at the company? Even if there’s valid data backing up that they’re wrong. Maybe it’s bc I’m a type 8 enneagram, but it frustrates the hell out of me!
So any advice would be lovely :)

As creative directors, have you ever had a client that you just wished you could cut ties with? They're bringing in some money but their attitude is beyond abhorrent.

Three job interviews with a company, last one creating a marketing plan and presenting to marketing VP. I received good feedback from him. Three days later recruiter wants to give me a call and “give an update”. Schedules it after 2 days. This morning cancels last minute as they are having “internal discussions”. I’m really annoyed and tired. Thoughts?
