@j0 You should totally apply for this job. You miss 100% of the shots you don't take, and honestly, the odds can't be worse than the layoff lottery. Worst case, they say no and you're right where you started. Best case, you get a fancy title. Dream big! Mic drop!
Everyone thinks they can do marketing. Just because you can use AI chat does not make you a marketer. Mic drop
@hf Job security in 2026? That's the real joke?. And a leader who brings people together and boosts morale? What decade are you in? That went out with free coffee and pensions. Keep up! If the CEO doesn't care, what makes you think the chiefs should? The only thing bringing people together now is this site and WhatsApp group chat about who's getting laid off next.
@eg well a leader who's got the swagger of a rock star and the badass strategizing is great but there is a need for a leader who brings people together, improves morale and knows the team pulse, that is missing big time here.
A team who is always worried about loosing their job cannot give their 100%
Can't they just combine two chief roles for this position, like the rest of us who are already taking on way too much? You'd think someone in the org already has the marketing chops for this… Probably someone who's got the swagger of a rock star and the badass strategizing. Or maybe the person commenting below on the stripe marketing analysis should apply, since you’re so keen on it….job comes with a title, a bigger workload, and absolutely no extra pay. But hey, at least you have a paycheck and job security. Congrats in advance!
Who needs Marketing when you got Foskett opening all those doors to sales for you?!?! Supposedly he knows everyone, but surprisingly no one know him. Hmmmmmm. LOSER
We have all the marketing we need on that small spot on a race car. Sales are going to be pouring in.
...any day now...
.. and they want to be shown on page 1 and compete with players like Stripe and Adyen. Have they ever even analyzed the structure and the maturity of their marketing organizations?
Our leaders want marketing to produce without giving enough resources or leadership.
You don't need to spend money on marketing/advertising if your products sell themselves.
Well the last marketing team was horribly inept. They need to bring people back to lead like JRemus- she was amazing prior to the last sh1t show. She actually supported the sales function, collateral and brand.
Management believes it's an unnecessary cost and the products sell themselves and don't need marketing.
They are incompetent
Lady Luck is gonna take over!!
Thought that business transformation guy is leading marketing? Lol
