Marketing Smarts Episode #102: Do I Really Need to Hire a Marketing Team? with Jeff Reynolds, Reynolds+Myers
Marketing, marketing, marketing. It’s everywhere you look, and we all know it’s important to growing your business. But who should actually do the marketing? Should you do it yourself or hire a marketing team? We believe a marketing team can be a phenomenal addition to your team – they’ll ensure you’re staying up to date with the ever-changing marketing world, they see the world differently than the rest of your organization, and they can even teach marketing to the rest of your team. Speaking of marketing teams, we’re incredibly excited to welcome marketing extraordinaire Jeff Reynolds on the show this week. He’s the Founder and President of Reynolds+Myers, Author of The Monster That Ate Marketing, and has top-notch insight on the best way to hire a marketing team for your organization. This episode covers everything from structuring your marketing team to that state of content marketing today. Here’s a small sample of what you will hear in this episode:
- Do I need an entire marketing team?
- Why should you hire a marketing team?
- What are other options if I don’t want to build a whole marketing team?
- How do you find the right marketing team?
- What should I look for in marketers?
- Why is marketing like The Blob?
- How did the Coinbase QR Code Super Bowl ad resonate with customers?
- What are Jeff’s final thoughts?
