Plot twist: CMOs aren’t machines. In a survey of over 400 heads of marketing across the globe, CMOs felt they took on the jobs of 11 (or more) areas of marketing.
Over the last 20 years: new technologies, social medias, datas have therefore giving birth to new skills, opening the door to the "hyper specialists" era. But if expertises are multiplying - deadlines, budget and brain capacities are not (we're not machines, remember?).
In this E-Book concocted by both the Malt team and freelancers, you will find out:
- When freelancing is the right option for your project,
- The variety of expertises and talents you can find on Malt - both technical and strategic,
- Why Malt is the best partner to reach your goals.
Marketing skills never stop changing
Marketers are like a chameleon in a disco ball - always changing and adapting to the latest moves. Marketers have taken the lead on many other functions, from marketing analytics (the main responsibility 76.3% of marketers today compared with 66.7% in February 2020) to competitive intelligence (58.0% today compared with 47.3% pre-pandemic).
But some skills are for a reason, some for a season…
You don't necessarily need them as full-time employees, you just need someone with fresh eyes to step in to projects when needed. All companies need strong, permanent leadership, but not all companies need a permanent creative strategist, for example.
Remember, just because you worked with a stellar freelancer once, doesn't mean it’s a one-time partnership. You may not be able to pay for someone full-time now, so give your favourite freelancers multiple assignments over the years and get the best of both worlds: deep expertise and flexibility.
"You need specialists who are ultra sharp and generalists who have a very broad view and have the ability to understand all the specialists. If you combine the two, that's really what's changed in 10 years in the marketing world."
