Yes, I said it. Marketers are a bunch of whiny bitches.

For the last decade+, marketers (myself included) have had it too good. All over the world, we’ve gotten super comfortable with the fact that every single click, every set of eyeballs, every time someone looked at an ad — was trackable, and would, therefore, have the ability to report the success of a campaign.

Fast forward to now. Social media companies are under scrutiny, privacy concerns abound, and now the ability to target and track those clicks has become harder. So, marketers have become a bit whiny. Actually, most of them are a bunch of whiny bitches.
