An open marketing seat doesn't show up as a missed deadline alone. It shows up as campaigns that go out late or inconsistently, a website or brand that falls behind competitors, and leadership making go-to-market decisions without the data or creative support to back them up.
- A rushed marketing hire who's strong creatively but can't tie work to a business goal often produces polished work that doesn't move the numbers that matter.
- Turnover in a brand or digital marketing role can mean losing momentum on campaigns, SEO rankings, or a website mid-build.
- Generic recruiters can match a portfolio to a job title; they can't always tell you whether a candidate's work actually performed.
