Every day Marketing Managers around the world are leaving the field.
Police Officer, Airline Pilot, Volcano Inspector and Shark Photographer are now the top-searched jobs on LinkedIn for those wishing to make a career move from Marketing – surveys show that all are perceived to be “less stressful” and “funner” compared to Marketing.
Marketing Managers are facing extinction. But what’s driving this worrying trend?
Stress, burnout, daily chaos and lack of reliable creative resources are stopping Marketing Managers from realizing their ambitions. Their keyboards are clogged with bits of food from too much eating at their desk. They’re pale from never seeing the light of day. They suffer from too much bad vending machine coffee and social-media induced thumb sprain.

What we are fighting for
Yes, it’s this
My Account Ninja vanished
First the agency gave me Jorge, and then Erika, and then there was somebody who never spelled my name right, and then somebody called “The Account Ninja”, who just disappeared, and in the end I had no idea who I was supposed to talk to or if anything was getting done. I’m losing my mind here!

Crying in my inbox
Did you see my email about your email that was in the other email chain about the creative? I can’t find your reply. Did you copy me in? Can you send it again? Excuse me while I go have a cry in the toilets.

Desperate for answers
Why does the agency account manager always say “I’ll get back to you on that”? I can never get a straight answer. Everything’s behind schedule! So sad 🙁
