We decided to skip Memorial Day marketing this year and just honor the fallen. I see so much out there in bad taste. Like this one - but betting their stuff is always in bad taste. Did you see anything good or bad?

Since when do we call club flyers…marketing??? Please look at other industries if you want to see a real sample of how companies celebrated. This is just a club promotional flyer. it’s doing what it was created to do.

Yeah its totally wild how brands have commandeered such a reverent holiday into a cash grab. Sucks to see.

I mean, why would you ever expect brands to honor any thing beyond their own profit?

Ugh so sad.

Not everyone cares about celebrating war criminals and the war industrial complex. To most, this is a holiday weekend to celebrate bringing in the summer.

Yes and this is marketing toward people who don’t worship vets as automatic heroes or view Memorial Day as reverent. Someone having a different world view does not automatically make them a troll. This is a public forum and I’ll comment on whatever I see fit

In my region, Memorial Day is the start of summer. But wait until you learn about the true meaning of Christmas. Or who even remembers what Easter is for. Every holiday is a sale, that's all it is. Except with my demo, I learned not to do promotions on Father's Day

We are looking to restructure our marketing team (B2B IT services) and one of the questions I have is: how does recruitment marketing / employer branding fit into the marketing team?
Over the last year EB and RM have become increasingly larger parts of our team’s work, but it’s not part of the marketing commercial targets (just helping recruitment meet their targets). Are they completely separate in your company? Or part of the team and if so how?

What’s a recent achievement (personal or professional) that you’ve experienced?
