Why Your One-Person Marketing Team Is Set Up to Fail
Why Your One-Person Marketing Team Is Set Up to Fail. In this interview, Kaitlyn Merola, Founder and CEO of Mōve Marketing, breaks down one of the most common mistakes startups make: hiring a single "marketing generalist" and expecting them to be an expert in everything. She explains why this is an unfair strategy that sets both the employee and the company up for failure. Kaitlyn also shares her agency's radically transparent approach to client work (prioritizing SEO results over a client's personal taste) , the counter-intuitive reason she felt more burned out after growing her team to eight people , and her core belief that a business is either growing or dying—there is no such thing as "maintenance mode".
