Why should you consider hiring a marketing generalist as your next social media manager or digital marketing director? Because marketing generalists have the experience to manage the ever-evolving space that is your digital footprint and brand. Generalists are not dabblers. While they may not meet "expert" status for any specific marketing objective, they've put plenty of time in the trenches, meaning their experience should be appreciated, trusted, and valued. Most marketing generalists have accrued years in the field. Ten to fifteen-plus years, in fact. Who better to manage a team that works across multiple social platforms and apps? Who better to make sure the graphics match the message and the message shows your brand in the best light? Who better to work with both sales and customer service to create, manage, and deliver a singular message? Back in the day, digital marketers were often taunted by co-workers for "playing on Facebook." Today, marketing generalists are misrepresented as dabblers when, in fact, our extensive experience and knowledge should be heralded and honed to develop the marketing systems, strategies, and solutions of the future. Specialized marketing talent and experience are incredible and should be valued. However, managing or directing a marketing team requires general AND specialized knowledge. If you're looking to fill a marketing manager or director role, don't dismiss a savvy and strong marketing generalist. They'll surprise you with their knowledge, experience, leadership, and work ethic! #DigitalMarketing #MarketingHires

“What should be our first full-time marketing hire?” I often get this question from founders. Here’s my answer. Most founders should hire a mid-level T-shaped generalist as their first full-time marketing hire. A senior marketer with a flashy background and specialized experience can be tempting. The odds are they haven’t had to work tactically in a while and don’t know how to operate with limited budgets. A mid-level marketing generalist has enough experience to help strategize while executing tactically. As a generalist, they should know enough about all things marketing – content, social, email, paid, digital, PR – just enough to be dangerous. This is the top part of the T. They should also have deep expertise in one or two marketing channels. Ideally, marketing channels you identified as potential growth levers.  Hiring a mid-level T-shaped marketer is a better way to start building a marketing team rather than hiring a “Director” or “VP.”

Job Description: 'Seeking a talented Digital Marketing Manager to lead strategy, drive growth, and manage a high-performing team!' Reality: 'Congrats, you're now the entire marketing department—by yourself. From content writing to performance marketing, managing the website, handling automation, overseeing the CRM, crafting social media strategies, coordinating influencer campaigns... oh, and let’s not forget putting out daily fires! All of this, but no team to lead. Just the fancy title. 😅' And while you're busy juggling 10 different roles, somehow the office politics kicks in. Ever notice how some people get handed the best projects with zero marketing skills, just because they can sweet-talk the right crowd? Meanwhile, you're sitting there, juggling SEO, PPC, and more acronyms than you can count, wondering where all those promised 'team resources' went. 🤔 It’s funny how job descriptions paint a picture of leadership and innovation, but in reality, you're just trying to survive the day without burning out. Shoutout to all the real digital marketers out there, hustling through it all—whether it’s the algorithms, client demands, or the office ‘favorites.’ Your work might go unnoticed, but you're the real MVPs! #DigitalMarketingRealities #OnePersonShow #OfficePolitics #SkillOverCharm #HustleCulture #MarketingLife #officepolitics #office #hiring #hiringmanager #digitalmarketing #marketer
