My Top Tips for a Successful Career in Marketing

Hi, I’m Margaret Hyde, and I’ve spent my career navigating the exciting and ever-changing world of marketing. Whether you’re an aspiring marketer or considering a career change, I want to share the strategies that have helped me stay ahead, build connections, and continue growing in this dynamic industry. Here’s how you can make your mark in marketing:

1. Stay Ahead of Trends with Trade Press

Marketing moves fast. Consumer behaviours shift, new platforms emerge, and strategies evolve constantly. To stay relevant, you need to be in the know.

I always make time to read trade publications like Marketing Week, Ad Age, and HubSpot’s blog.
Following industry leaders on LinkedIn has been invaluable for gaining fresh insights.
Podcasts and webinars are a great way to learn on the go and keep up with new ideas.

Keeping up with trends ensures you can adapt quickly and bring fresh ideas to the table.

2. Network, Network, Network

Marketing is as much about who you know as what you know. Building a strong professional network has opened so many doors for me, and it can for you too!

Attending marketing events, both in-person and virtual, has helped me stay connected.
I make a habit of joining professional groups on LinkedIn and contributing to discussions.
Reaching out to peers and experts has led to mentorships, collaborations, and new opportunities.

Your next big opportunity could come from a conversation with the right person!

3. Push Yourself to Learn and Grow

The best marketers are those who never stop learning. Being proactive about your professional development will set you apart.

I always volunteer for new projects, even when they push me outside of my comfort zone.
Online courses in emerging marketing trends like AI, data analytics, and digital strategy have helped me stay competitive.
Seeking mentorship and asking for feedback has been key to refining my skills and improving my strategies.

By taking every opportunity to grow, you’ll not only build expertise but also gain confidence in your abilities.
