Check out Elizabeth Thrailkill's thoughts on strategic content, metrics, and brand leadership
When asked about how marketers should think about metrics, Elizabeth shares:
"Metrics are important, but they are largely for us as marketers. Until you can move beyond metrics and actually identify the outcomes that tie back to the business strategy, their impact is limited."
She also shares how marketers should approach content creation:
"Producing the right content and being able to break it down into snackable, digestible pieces and place it in the right channels is really important."
And some advice for young marketers:
"Be prepared to work outside of your job description if what you're being asked to do—or have the opportunity to do—aligns with your career aspirations."
