The marketing department of a company has been deemed by many as the most crucial element of an organization. It is the component that helps create your brand image, drives brand awareness, and promotes your business’ mission and goals. It also allows your target audience to gain a solid understanding of who you are and what you offer. Some say it is the underpinning of your entire organization.

In your 40’s, and you haven’t made your mark yet?


I’m almost terrified to write this down, but it is something that has to be said. As I sit with my 40-something year old friends, we all sit with a similar dilemma that leaves each and everyone one of us slightly unfulfilled.

“A mind that is stretched by a new experience can never go back to its old dimensions.” – Oliver Wendell Holmes.

Do you run a marketing team?

If you do, you will realise a few things; firstly that no marketing team can be all the same, and secondly, a mixture of personalities and skills is required for optimum performance. When choosing a team, it's best to steer away from selecting people just like you, or like another person who you rate as being a good marketer on your team. The reason is simple; a strong, competent, successful marketing team has to have a mixture of personalities that collaborate, support, encourage, nurture and push each other to reach their full potential both individually and as a team.

While this may seem idealistic, it's a reality for any competent marketing manager who has the 'balls' to think outside the box when they are putting together a team of people to take a company to the next level.

Results will always speak for themselves, no matter how convincing the sales pitch is.

It was something we were very proud of, as we don't spend all day pushing this medium, but a bit over 30 minutes in total including writing this blog.

There is an abundance of marketers piling out of Colleges (Universities) around the world, having completed four years of arduous learning mostly from professors who may have never set foot in a significant corporation and held a position of CMO, Marketing Director, VP of Marketing or anything other that would give them the experience to show their students what it takes to be a marketer in today's world.
