As we navigate the complexities of the modern workplace, the concept of working from home has become a polarising topic, especially in the field of marketing. It is essential to look at what seems like an ideal working scenario for marketing professionals in this comprehensive guide. It's important to note that this guide isn't a sugary tribute to remote work, nor is it an outright condemnation. It's an honest, no-holds-barred exploration of what it genuinely means to be a marketing professional working from the confines of your home. Brace yourself; we're delving deep into the good, the bad and the controversial. 

Sitting for long periods is a modern-day plague particularly if you work from an office or work from home. We're often tied to our desks, glued to our screens, leading to detrimental effects on both our physical and mental well-being. One of the biggest culprits? Poor circulation.

The office chair can come in many forms, mostly based on a shape that we have come to believe is the best for our backs. Whoever said that was a marketing genius because decades later, we still believe in this notion.

The COVID-19 pandemic has brought about a drastic shift in the way businesses operate, thrusting them into the realm of remote work. As this new paradigm becomes the norm, the world of marketing has not been spared from its effects. However, amidst the transition to remote work, companies are encountering a significant challenge when it comes to hiring marketers.

The workforce has changed. You really don’t need to be a rocket scientist to realise that. In fact, it has changed so much, many of us old-timers have become out-of-date and a little redundant. While I can’t speak for everyone, I can share my experiences of feeling inadequate and constantly second guessing whether or not I make the right decisions.

If you are anything like me, Sunday morning, I always go down to my local cafe at 7am with my dog to buy a coffee and a fresh croissant. It gets rid of two things; my need for a coffee in the morning and my dog needing to 'do her business'.

Then, I come home, shower, and turn on my computer. Mainly I write, but at least for an hour or so, I work.

Unlike most people, I rarely go into my emails. That to me is a Monday to Friday, 9 to 5 job. Instead I look at the Marketing Eye website and think of ways to market our business.

I am THE SUNDAY MARKETER.
