Who Wants to Be a #DigitalMarketer?

August 01, 2019 / Chrishaun

I first got the taste of digital marketing as an Account Executive for an advertising agency that specialized in experiential, digital, and social media. Before I made the shift to agency life, I was surviving in a corporate sales position at a Fortune 500 company with dreams of one day working in marketing.

While dreaming about the perfect position, I was also taking action. I researched, networked, volunteered, and interned for different brands on off days until my hard work paid off. I treated building my marketing career as an actual part-time job to get to where I wanted to go. I knew that if I wanted to to be taken seriously, I needed to land on the type of marketing work I wanted to do and plan the perfect exit strategy.

Being a social butterfly is not something that comes easily to most people. I would admit, most days I do not like talking to people. But as a professional, you have to get over that. If not, you will find yourself stuck in a position that you hate or in a career you wish you had never started.

When I started my career, I was told to "put in my time first" before going after that big title. They were right, but they failed to mention putting in time off the clock too. It took me a few years to understand that concept, but now as I take on year five of my career and recent promotion to my eighth title, I have discovered a few insights about networking. First, to grow in your career you must learn to network like a pro, inside and outside of the office. Here are four networking secrets I would recommend to anyone who is ready to take their career to the next level.

10 years ago, Social Media Managers were probably non-existent. When I was in college, I didn’t think to myself “when I graduate I want to be a social media manager”. However, in 2017 almost every company has one or a social team.

According to a Google Trends search, the term “social media manager” is one of the most popular searches. At the beginning of 2007, the term was less than 1% popular in the United States, but in March 2017 it peaked in popularity due to an interest spike. This leads me to conclude that businesses now understand the correlation between managing a successful online marketing strategy versus just posting content online. In walks the Social Media Manager.
