Career Projection

Absolutely. Digital marketing is just as important, or perhaps more important, than print marketing efforts. I'm seeing a lot more opening for these type of position as businesses understand the important of being able to bridge the gap between sales and marketing teams and Information technology teams to select and implement new marketing tools. Also, there has been a dramatic increase in the cloud-based tools available to marketers, but they all require implementation to your own business needs.

Job Highlights

No two days are the same. I have so much variety in my job and I have an amazing team to collaborate with. I generally learn something new everyday! I also enjoy training people how to fully utilize the tools that we have implemented.

Job Challenges

Time and resources. There is always so much to do to maintain websites, stay abreast of new technologies, stay informed of Google's never ending changes to their algorithms and understand the potential impacts. Prioritizing efforts can be a real changed based on resource availability and budget constraints. For Landscape Structures, staying ahead of our competition is another huge challenge. Being (and staying) an industry leader is a lot of work!

Advice

Collaborate with others, get to know those around you and what motivates them to do their best. When you do that, the overall team is stronger and better results will come of it! This is not a role you can do alone.
