Obviously, if you haven't guessed already, this advert is a joke... but it’s also not.

Because this is what so many senior marketers are living day in and day out.

I am posting this because it’s time to change that.

To start a bit of a

marketing truth revolution.

To call out broken hiring practices, unrealistic expectations, and the constant uphill battle marketers face.

And I’ll keep posting things like this until more companies wake up and fix how they hire, trust, and support marketing leaders.

If you’re hiring a Marketing Director, give them the

trust, autonomy, and backing

to actually lead.

You’ll be amazed what happens when you stop making them fight uphill every single day.

Sincerely, every marketing leader + me.

P.S

If you’ve ever lived a job like this:

Connect with me.

Join the movement to fix how marketing leaders are hired, trusted, and supported.

Because when you give great marketers autonomy, trust, and backing

You get sustainable, compounding growth.
