Marketers Barely Managing
Surviving Mondays together.
Every Monday, we marketers face a new week with the same old challenges: colleagues who think they know our craft as well as we do, managers who drop random ideas as new strategies to execute, technologies threatening our jobs, and audiences waiting in their basements for us to make a mistake.
We vent.
We relate.
We commiserate.
We get through another Monday. Together.
Enjoy the show.

Survive this week being all the marketer you can be.
