How To Develop A Road Map For Your Marketing Organization. With almost constant change taking place in the marketing industry, it’s easy to get distracted and chase the new shiny object. While marketing teams do have to remain focused on relevance and finding where their audience is, it should not be at the expense of staying true to the vision for the organization.

Redefining Marketing Success in 2021. After the many changes we all experienced last year, it’s a daunting prospect to predict what might come next in 2021. It may be easier to sum it up as “expect the unexpected,” but this is neither helpful nor encouraging — and, if there’s one thing I think we all might need more of, it’s encouragement. I strongly believe we’re on the cusp of a brighter, better future. We have to work toward this goal with just as much empathy as dedication. A great article reshifting focus of Marketing for 2021.
