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

Marketing campaigns and unrealistic expectations, name a more iconic duo

Right?!? I mean it would be great if I could pull off miracles but it's an investment, and not all campaigns work out so well no matter how much time and effort you put in. I feel ya

Yeah if I knew how to make money that fast I'd probably just be doing it for myself and not them lol

Though I appreciate that they seem to think we're magical beings that can make stacks of money appear in a flash, it does get old.

Like all bosses, they want to pay to see results. The problem with marketing is that everything is constantly being tested and what works today may not work in 2 months. The important thing is to show a realistic projection and have transparency in the process. The result is slow, but it is worth it.

Wondering if anyone can share the approximate timeline after applying to Target Corp. to hearing something from them. Applied 9/1 and on the applicant portal the status still says “in progress.” I got a great internal referral, but I’ve not reached out to the hiring manager. 😬 I know there were a few hundred applicants — what’s a realistic timeline and what could I say to the hiring manager if I reach out to them. Many thanks.

Hi! I started at a new company 2 months ago and while I’m really enjoying my job so far, I’m having a hard time gauging whether or not I’m doing a “good job.” My role seems to be always evolving, which is fine and I actually enjoy being a support to the greater marketing team, but I feel like I need better defined targets to make sure I’m meeting expectations. Also, when I ask my boss what they’d like to see, I don’t ever get a clear answer. (Cont’d in comments)
