The Marketing Millennials’ Post

More often than not, I’ve heard clients start the conversation with blank statements like *I have done a little marketing. I know how things work* Imagine you’ve hired a talent as your marketing manager, who carries with them years of experience and yet you never allow them reach their full potential, because you think you know better? What a waste of capital and time. Stakeholders who do everything reach nowhere. If Hiring talent is an art, retaining them is a monumental task. There’s a thin line between the act of overseeing and interference. Know when to stop. Learn to take a step back. Let people do what they are hired for.

Long post coming up! Not very Demure apologies 😉 Been thinking whether or not to post this for a while now, but can’t keep my mouth shut any longer. I genuinely have always loved working in marketing. There is always so much that can be done. What I’m not loving at the moment? The marketing industry. Here in Malta, I personally feel it has become an us versus them scenario. Even when speaking with peers and collaborators, this is the current issue we’re facing and I’m glad I’m not the only one noticing this. Marketing employees or freelancers vs. agencies vs. influencers vs. content creators. Malta is a small island with enough work for everyone, let’s keep it professional and respectful in the way we speak with each other and collaborate. Let’s not assume we all know what each other’s job is and the circumstances they have, let’s be respectful, be mindful, be DEMURE. Trend puns aside, I genuinely love working with other people, be it a photographer, an influencer, a DJ or another local company. There is so much that can be done, let’s get to work and stop this nonsense of us versus them 🙏 Stay kind, with feet on the ground #overandout

I felt this in my bones. The only advantage the business and other non-marketers have over MarComs professionals is access to information. (which is huge) Reimagine a world where the business proactively works with its functions before the tactic of the day is due. Shifting minds and more importantly changing behaviors, starts with inclusive strategy planning. Proactive and responsive vs. reactive.

My lists have lists. Which have post-it lists. Ask me what the line to each is, but it will take me 10 minutes to explain. #marketing #marketers #makinglists

If your Target Audience is Everyone Aged 18 to 65, You're definitely selling air, water, or free money. Get this straight once and for all, your Target Audience is not everyone for the Love of God.

How Much Marketing Budget Do You Need? For B2B companies, it's recommended to allocate between 2% and 5% of your revenue to marketing. B2C companies often need to spend more, typically between 5% and 10%, due to the need to reach various customer segments through multiple channels. It's crucial to have clear, measurable marketing goals. Do you want more website visitors to take a specific action? If so, how many over what period? Are you aiming to attract customers to your store for a free sample or consultation? Define your ideal customers and set specific targets for how many you want to engage.

Marketing meme of the day 😂 Audience segmentation is crucial for marketers. Targeting a broad age range like 18-65 isn't a strategy—it's a missed opportunity. Each segment within that group has unique needs, behaviors, and motivations. If you want to be effective, you have to tailor your message to each specific audience. You can create campaigns that truly resonate, driving better engagement and results when you narrow your focus. Broad targeting isn't effective; precision is key. #MarketingStrategy #TargetedMarketing #AudienceSegmentation #DataDriven #MarketingTips

Can you be specific? You need to know everything your target is doing.. What do they like, their style, specific age?🤔 With this information, you are able to create an effective copy or campaign depending on what piece of cake you are biting.😊 #Marketing

It's inevitable to take pictures of ads or campaigns that set an example of best practices (or not so good ones). Eventually, this practice becomes a part of your life and habits as a marketing professional.

Maybe not with the iconic eye-roll, but... guilty as charged! 😅 One-person marketing teams might not create a symphony, but we can definitely drop some mean beatbox. This meme got me thinking about my favorite marketing mantra: "We're marketers, not magicians." 🎩✨ No matter how advanced AI gets, we can't conjure up leads, conversions, and sales from thin air. Marketing success will always depend on the total resources invested, including man-hours and budget. 🕒💰
