How to Get Hired and Stay Hired as a Vanguard Marketer

We're in the midst of a paradigm shift in marketing - from outbound push marketing that interrupts, to inbound pull marketing that gets found. Learn what leading edge companies are looking for in hiring vanguard marketers.

Description:   Today’s consumers are actively blocking out interruptive marketing like TV commercials and unsolicited emails. Consequently we are in the mist of a paradigm shift in Marketing—from push, interruptive marketing, to pull, Inbound Marketing, with an emphasis on getting found through blogs, social media, and SEO.

We’ll outline how you can get hired today to be on the vanguard on this Marketing revolution. We’ll also look at the possible trends in Marketing over the next decade and how your career can stay ahead of these changes. 

We’ll start with a presentation outlining the marketing skills leading edge companies are looking for in hiring vanguard marketers. In the presentation we’ll introduce the DARC framework—Digital, Analytical, web Reach, and Content creators.  And then move to a panel discussion of DARC practitioners, where we'll learn what marketing thought leaders are actually doing.
