One of the reasons I really enjoy my job is that I’ve had the chance to work across so many areas of digital marketing. I understand how all of the little (and sometimes annoying) moving pieces work together. And how doing something wrong (or not 100%) takes a toll on everything else…
While I’m soaking up the last year of my twenties, it’s becoming more and more evident to me that where I really shine is making sure everything is getting done. And getting done to the best of our abilities. Encouraging team collaboration. Encouraging team buy-in. Creating a fun and efficient environment. That spark 🔥 that happens insides you when you love what you are doing. And, 7 hours later you finally move your eyes away from the screen, pump the breaks of typing faster than you can think, and wonder lord have mercy, how long have I been sitting here?
That’s what managing marketing projects is like for me.
I was born making project plans. In fact, I planned my great exit. (If you don’t believe me, ask my mother.) Or my boyfriend who receives at least a few Google invites a day from me. My brain likes order, and if there isn’t order, it needs to create it.
But wait! You’ll notice all over my laptop, computer, bathroom mirror and fridge post-it notes that say “Slow the fuck down Anna” and that's because I believe “hustling” (as I’ve heard too many times in the ol’ marketing sweatshops) opens the doors for nasty and sometimes irreversible errors.
You don’t make companies sustainable profit by rushing things and taking shortcuts. Let me repeat that again: You don't make companies sustainable profit by doing a shitty job just to cross it off your list. You just don’t. And my biggest concern managing projects is leading my team by example. Setting the tone.
Leadership is not a rank. It’s a choice.
