How it's all vain and shallow work, I've actually been impressed with some of the campaigns that my team has worked on before, especially those that touch on culture and where we all come from.

The marketing industry is often seen as a necessary evil. However, the reality is that marketing is an essential part of any business. Marketing helps businesses to reach new customers and grow their businesses.

The biggest stereotype about the marketing industry is that it is full of people who are disingenuous and only care about their own self-promotion. They are often seen as being dishonest and manipulative, and many people believe that they cannot be trusted.

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?

Copywriter with serious imposter syndrome at new job! How do senior writers up their game? Was in-house 1.5 years and underpaid in NYC. With only previous freelance experience (and nonprofit and grant writing before that) figured I had to slog through it for years. Cut to now, 6 months into a new copywriting role at huge tech company. My salary almost quintupled overnight. I think I’m doing great, but that depends on the day and who I work with (no other writers by the way).
