A Day in the Life
In the morning, you spend the first hour or so checking emails and your assigned tickets in Wrike to make your plan for the most productive day and to see if any priorities have shifted. You make sure that the monthly deployment calendar that you created with the Field Marketing team is still accurate or make any necessary changes. You spend the next chunk of your day heads down building and executing on marketing campaigns to support the Field Marketing team. You spend time in the day using Marketo and SFDC to monitor and report on the success of the campaigns you are working on. As you are executing you are communicating with the various Field Marketing stakeholders to get approvals on tests, provide updates on performance and provide some best practices and alternative recommendations on campaigns. You close your day with uploading a few new event lists into Marketo and ensuring all the data is flowing correctly. You also take a few notes of process improvements that could be made and campaigns that have performed exceptionally well that you would like to share with the other regions. You complete your day knowing that you have made a business impact and that your work is important to not only the Field Marketing team but the entire company.
