Deep dives
Communication Overload in Marketing
Marketing teams often spend an excessive amount of time managing communication, averaging around 28 hours a week on Slack messages and emails rather than engaging in productive marketing tasks. This communication overload leads to burnout and a sense of performative productivity where teams feel busy but fail to meet their goals. The stress associated with constant messaging and responding to team communications detracts from the core creative processes that drive successful marketing initiatives. Transitioning away from this model and embracing more efficient communication methodologies is crucial for fostering a healthy and effective marketing environment.
