4 Creative Marketing Team Roles for Success

Marketing involves a lot of moving parts, and in order to get the most out of a marketing plan you need the right creative professionals to execute successfully. Especially with access to location based marketing via mobile apps, which provides real time customer behavior analytics, campaign possibilities are endless. We are living in a hyper competitive marketplace, and the best way to avoid burnout is through designated roles so that each professional excels in their role.

There are a few roles to take into consideration when putting together a highly effective digital marketing team. The American Marketing Association defines marketing as a vertical that focuses on creating and communicating valuable messaging for customers, partners, and other audiences. The most common marketing goals include lead generation with the purpose of turning target audiences into customers, but goals vary from increasing exposure and engagement to improving the company’s reputation. Since marketing is a creative role, you want to avoid having one person wear too many hats. After all, creativity thrives from diversity.
