The Marketing Freelancer: Unicorns Unite #185 How to Become a Digital Marketing Strategist
As service providers, we have to be aware of evolving needs of clients and the increasing demand for digital marketing strategists. I’ve been there myself - starting out as a virtual assistant and then making the transition to strategist. I have a background in PR and journalism and through working with multiple clients I gained valuable insights and expertise, recognizing patterns and strategies that apply to all kinds of online businesses.
It’s so important to understand the basics of marketing and the ability to see opportunities for growth and improvement. In this episode, I’m encouraging freelance virtual assistants to step into the role of a strategist, offering value-based services to confidently guide clients toward their business goals.
