Are you new to marketing? Interested in the field? Don’t really know where to start? Maybe you’ve been doing this for a few months and want to know how to beef up your growing skills? You’ve come to the right place.
I’ve been doing marketing at a B2B tech startup in Charleston, South Carolina for the past 6 months now. I came in with zero experience and almost no knowledge in the field. And it was especially hard for me at the beginning. I was constantly wondering, “How do I get better? What questions should I be asking and answering as a marketer?”
So that’s where this guide comes in. If I were starting again, here are the things I would have liked to have on my radar:
- What is marketing really?
- The importance of building up depositories of ads/emails/copy/etc.
- Design as a supplementary but super valuable skill.
- The difference between B2B and B2C and what that means for me as a marketer.
- Strategies for navigating the office as someone young, “uneducated”, and inexperienced.
- Why stupid questions like “what’s a customer?” and “why am I doing this?” are actually not stupid at all.
I can’t turn back the clock and start again with all these things under my belt. But I can spread what I’ve learned to all ya’ll who are just starting out or trying to “up your game”.
