8. “The modern marketer must
have a strategic and analytical
mind dedicated to measurable
metrics but that is always
craving a creative outlet”
It is no longer about developing a
catchy ad campaign that you will
shout from the roof tops. Marketing
has evolved into a combination of
artistry and science
9. Inbound marketing has
become the go-to
strategy for modern
marketers, putting a
Premium on writing skill
Visual content grabs
consumers’ attention
making it a valuable
marketing resource
Social media has changed the
way marketers interact with
consumers, making managing
digital relationships an
important skill
Email remains the workhorse
of most modern marketing
departments. Best practices
and design remain essential
skills for marketers
Marketing can no longer
afford to be a cost center
and the modern
marketer should track all
marketing activities and
campaigns
With more
responsibility and
fewer resources
marketers must be
experts in budgeting
and operations
Marketers need to be data
experts, able to see major
trends and important
takeaways in a mass of
data at a glance
Using tools like Salesforce to
understand campaign
performance is an essential
skill for the modern marketer

55. Final Rules
It is a “huge” challenge to convert from offline to
online
Find the most ideal combination
Think about where you target in on the web
When they are in “search” mode & when they are in
“whatever” mode
Think “viral” from the start
Make it easy attractive to “pass on” to friends
56. Final Rules
Measure and analyze everything
Tag all your links
Google analytics is free! Track EVERYTHING!
Test, then test again. Learn… and adapt
Look outside of your walls for expertise and
partners
Shift is happening at an increasing speed
Think “viral” from the start
Don’t be afraid to make mistakes… you will make some!
