I try my best not to let marketing get to me, and my way to do it is to just block it out entirely. Long story short, I got a $50 Starbucks gift card and want to spend it all, or at least most of it.. but don't know what to get. What's their best holiday special beverage or food that you'd recommend for me?

I have experience across multiple industries (tech/telecom/Pharma (dermatology)/beauty and skin care and I am looking for a Director or VP role (my last job was a VP).

Hi all! I work in digital marketing / organic social. For those in organic social what platform do you use for scheduling posts, analytics, UGC, managing influencers etc?

Your thoughts and opinion are appreciated with all platforms! :)

It feels like my pay and title are lower than my scope of duties.

TIA!!

DO YOU JUST ASSUME THE COST OF YOUR MARKETING ACTIVITIES? I am looking to allocate their cost in the marketing budget in a way that won't rely on several layers of assumptions. How do you reliably estimate the cost of different marketing activities (email, social, web, etc) when you don't have specific people or tools allocated to each function and costs are spread across many channels? Ads seems the easiest, but even then there's time and overheads... I've been looking for a reliable model.
