Marketing managers on the bowl, when did you feel ready to take up your role? For the last few months, my eye has been on the prize of getting the promotion to MM. Not that it has been offered to me, but I've set a goal to achieve this by next year, and have been closely watching my manager's role. I think I am competent to do it. Are there things that are not visible to an outsider that you're doing? I don't want to ask my own manager because it's an awkward conversation.

Honestly, feeling ready was less about hitting a checklist and more about confidence in handling ambiguity and pressure. Beyond what you see, MMs often juggle a lot behind the scenes, budget decisions, cross-team politics, and managing up as much as managing down. They’re also constantly thinking a few steps ahead. Observing your manager is great, but don’t underestimate the soft skills and resilience that don’t get talked about as much.

It's not unexpected or even necessarily invisible to outsiders, but the biggest change (aside from leading a team) is having to be more involved with stakeholders - leadership, clients, third parties, etc. You no longer just get to work, you also have to keep a bunch of invested parties abreast of what your team is doing and how it's all progressing. This really isn't as tedious as it might sound, but it does take some getting used to, especially if you're used to working with a good degree of autonomy.

PARTNERS: two questions —1. If you see an associate has really low hours for the month, do you imagine them chillen on a beach somewhere or do you consider they probably spent most of their days sitting in front of the computer being “available”? 2. If you send an associate a random e-mail on a weekend like “Can you pull X and send to Y”, would you get annoyed if they responded saying they weren’t by a comp or would you consider it reasonable that they wouldn’t be by a comp on a weekend?
