With the end of another quarter imminent, our business is re-thinking the way in which we do business. There are operational changes, a new management team and a number of strategic overhauls that will help our business navigate a new era.

When building a business or taking the one you have to the next level, it is important to consider how you want to grow your nest egg. What happens when one marketing campaign turns into a rush for your product and service and is this the way you want to grow? Or do you want to maintain a regular increase in sales month-on-month at a sustainable level so you can keep customer experience at an optimum level and ensure that your team of people are growing with you?

Today is just like any other day. I woke up at 3.40 a.m., hopped on a conference call with a vendor who is looking to optimize their channel partnership program utilizing Robotic Marketer technology, talked for an hour, then hopped on another call. Before I knew it, it was 6.30 a.m. and the coffee shop was now open.

It's that time of year when entrepreneurs, business leaders and marketing professionals re-evaluate their businesses on multiple levels. The market has changed and with this fluid transformation companies are needing to draw on data, research and experience to navigate the future.

Marketing department are renowned for "breadcrumbing" their databases, without even realising it.

Over the past week, we have been recruiting for a number of positions at Marketing Eye and Robotic Marketer, and I have realised just different one marketer is to another.

There are so many different types of marketing managers and marketing executives in the market looking for jobs.

The work, life balance marketer

From the moment your fingers touch your keyboard, to the endless, tiring hours that your pour your heart and soul into strategising and pondering what your next marketing move is going to be, writing a marketing strategy is an arduous task, but a necessary one.

The use of influencers in marketing is not new. Celebrities, movie stars, supermodels and athletes have been influencing us through traditional marketing campaigns forever. From pushing beauty products, being brand ambassadors, or simply telling us what bank they use, they have long been an integral part of many brands marketing strategy.
