Aside from the fact that I arrived in Las Vegas and was quickly whisked away right up to the hills overlooking Las Vegas to the home of a former NFL player and his wife for champagne, lobster and views that would make anyone envious, the #AdobeSummit is the most exciting event in any marketers calendar.

I get it. Once you finish college you can’t wait to never take another test again. Unfortunately, this just isn’t the reality of the workforce and you will probably be taking many tests for a very long time, especially if you decide to start a career in marketing. But hey on the bright side, attaining more knowledge is never a bad thing, right?
In marketing it is the little things that count. Our Founder, Mellissah Smith, constantly reminds the team of the importance of details. In marketing it is about standing out. Don’t be ordinary, be extraordinary. Market yourself and market your company. [space height="HEIGHT"]
Below are some tips on how to take the extra step as a marketer.
What ever you do don’t be afraid to fail!

Don’t be afraid to try something new, because you’re scared that you aren’t going to be good at it. As Nike says “Just Do It”! People fail all the time and when they do they only become stronger.  It is because of the mistakes we make we learn what and what not to do moving forward. It goes off the phrase “you don’t know what you don’t know and you wont know until you try”  

Fear and insecurities are the single biggest threats when becoming successful. Fear it’s self can significantly paralyze you and your business growth.
Continuous evolution requires constant updates in your education, however this evolution must occur through legitimate avenues.

So when you look at subscribing to education programs, you need to ensure that they are legitimate and conducted by experienced industry professionals.
Entrepreneurs, managing directors, CEO's, Presidents, CMO's, marketing managers and digital marketing directors are all thinking about how their 2015 marketing strategies are going to be executed - after all it's that time of year.

While most B2B organizations have been fine tuning their marketing strategies for months, other's are only now just scrambling to put one together. At Marketing Eye, December and January is our highest inquiry month predominantly due to so many companies waiting until the last minute to develop their marketing strategies.

It's crazy because by leaving it to the last minute, you are already starting behind the 8-ball and giving your more organized competitors a head start. 

Here are some things that you should be thinking about:


The lines blurred sometime in the last 10 years, but I don't know exactly when it happened.

 

Having started my first business at 25 years of age, specializing in technology marketing, I thought I had it all. A marketer who understood technology marketing and who could talk the talk which at that time seemed to be, the height of the dot com boom, the most lucrative marketing position one could hold.

 

Then of course, someone came along and started talking about company culture, and marketers took a turn to start embellishing the on-boarding process of new recruits, with a mixture of "people marketing" with "technology marketing" - and for a time, that was all the rage. It seemed to be the only thing people were talking about and marketers starting play a role in human resources, giving recruiters and in-house HR managers the tools to "sell their brands" like they were a front line sales executive needing to close the deal in order to reach their quotas.
