Are you a marketing maverick, doing everything yourself and swimming in responsibility?
Doing it all is an incredible skill, but sometimes a little help can make all the difference. So, how do you build your marketing dream team when you’re ready to hire some extra hands?
I learned how to do this while building my social media agency in Austin. Here is how to create a marketing team for your own business, including my personal tips and recommendations.
3 Must-Have Areas of Expertise for Building an Outstanding Marketing Team
There are three types of expertise to focus on when building your ideal marketing team: lead generation, monetization, and content.
1. Lead Generation
Lead generation is all about acquiring new leads and customers and keeping up relationships with old ones. The people you add to your team with this skillset need to have a handle on:
- Brand creation
- Branding and building brand awareness
- Lead generation strategy and acquisition strategy
- Sales process and automation
- Relationship nurturing on social media
- Finding qualified sales opportunities
2. Monetization
For any marketing you do, the main goal is to bring in money. However, your team members with expertise in monetization don’t just help you make $$ – they mainly help maximize the money you’re generating. This is where Forensic Marketing comes in handy!
These are the main tasks a monetization team should take care of:
- Develops the marketing plan to help you measure success over time.
- Creates high-level strategies that keep the CEO focused on both short-term and long-term goals.
- Creates marketing strategies to acquire more customers and grow revenue and profits.
- Integrates different marketing systems to come up with clear metrics to track.
- Creates and manages lead media buying campaigns (AdWords, PPC, social media ads).
3. Content
Your content team is the brains behind your content. They source it and manage it, too. People with this marketing expertise can do these tasks:
- Generate content ideas that stick to the monetization plan. Not all content is profitable.
- Produce high-quality
- Do marketing
- Distribute content through the appropriate channels: social media, traditional media, direct mail, direct marketing, etc.
