What are your thoughts on direct comparisons to competitors in marketing? I personally, as a consumer, love the back and forth. I think its so engaging, for both parties. I have to say, Burger King's CEO really came back well here https://www.adweek.com/brand-marketing/why-so-many-brands-are-throwing-shade-at-their-competitors-right-now/

Finally accepting that I have too many grey hairs that I can’t just pluck them any more. What’s the best way to color speckles of grey while optimizing for cost/time/quality? Do those boxes of hair coloring at the grocery store actually work or should I get it done professionally? 🤔

Does Deloitte look a lot better than ACN on b-school apps? Debating if I should take the offer to switch and then apply after.

Need advice! I accepted an offer mid Oct and just found out my new company opened a new role above me at the title I was asking for originally but was told I would move up when they were ready to build out the team. I am over qualified for my role now and already meet the exp of the new role above me. Very salty and feel like they are setting me up to feel stuck before I even start. What do I did?

Manager level, looking to exit soon. M&A experience predominantly. Any tips on where to look first (or “how” to look, LinkedIn kinda sucks) and roles? Preferable compensation around $180-200k, otherwise why leave (not miserable, just exploring options) Any/all ideas welcome.

How many meetings a week do you find necessary when there aren't any special launches and/or campaigns?

Moving into a new role to support marketing efforts of two smaller divisions under our brand umbrella. When I asked my boss what the job description was to create year end goals they told me to write one. . . Where do I start?

Tech startup or big tech company? And why?

A real gem from Henry Ford: "stopping advertising to save money is like stopping your watch to save time."

Going from PR agency to a marketing role in-house, tips and advice pretty please!!!

What's the biggest stereotype about the marketing industry?

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 :)

How can someone find a job localizing marketing content (taking poorly translated material and fixing it up for US consumers)? I've heard that it's a real job but can't find much information about it

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.

Best influencer search tools or strategies for sourcing?

What are the most common problems you see between sales and marketing? How would you resolve the issue?

Looking for some UGC gigs. I can do unboxing and demos. Rates start at $100 for a video, and $20 per photo. which is significantly lower than others in the market. Just trying to get more content creation under my belt. I specialize in social media as a director in a marketing agency, so I know what will perform. Give me a holler if you need UGC for your brands! :)

A creative team I started working with recently has decided to ignore my every comment. They take feedback from anyone else but me, and whenever I push them to make said changes, they just pick fights and make snarky comments. Anyone have any idea why this might be?

Copy AI and put the leftover budget into ads, or hire a content writer?

Things you wish someone would have told you before starting a career in marketing?

I travel a lot and have about 50k IG followers with high engagement. How do I contact companies and see if they want me to make a sponsored post?

I am interviewing for an agency and they haven't extended any offers but want me to provide them with all sorts of documents. Is this sus or am I just overtly wary?

Why do clients always think I should be able to double their ROI right away... it takes time folks, and putting extra pressure on the marketing team does not make us faster
