Good morning, Marketer, and are you going freelance? The “Great Resignation” is on everyone’s lips, not least among marketers where almost half were thinking about quitting their jobs last year. The interesting question, of course, is “Where is everyone going?” In article after article, I am reading that marketers are choosing the freelance life. As content creators or social media strategists or brand specialists, marketers are working with clients of their own choosing, in their preferred location and at the hours that suit them best.

We’re digging deeper into the state of play for marketing as a profession and we’re soliciting your insights. Please help us out by taking the survey below. Kim Davis Editorial Director |
