When You’re the Marketing Director and the Project Manager: Why It’s Time to Delegate the Chaos
If you’re leading a lean marketing team, chances are you’re juggling more than just strategy. You’re overseeing timelines, chasing down creatives, managing vendors, and trying to keep your campaigns on track, all while being the face of the department.
Let’s be honest: You didn’t sign up to be the project manager too.
And yet, here you are, building the campaign calendar and fixing broken Airtable views. Proofing copy and coordinating meetings. Executing a brand vision while also chasing approvals.
Sound familiar?
Here's the truth:
Great marketing strategies die in disorganized execution.
