Now we
know that being a fullstack marketer means coming up
with
ideas, strategizing and executing on those ideas, then
reporting
back, adjusting, and iterating on this process. But what
does an
average day look like for a fullstack marketer?
Eric
Metelka, Marketing Manager at G2 Crowd (Yelp for SaaS companies), and owner
of fullstackmarketing.co, shared some bits and bobs from
his daily professional life.
- "In the morning, I'll check alerts for our site and our
competitors. If there's any relevant sites linking back, I'll leave
a comment or contact the author to make them aware of our
services."
- FSM skills: competitive intelligence/analysis, PR/outreach
- "Next, I'll review SEO data and put key numbers into our
dashboard. We track organic traffic, links, and rankings of a
representative group of keywords."
- FSM skills: SEO, analytics
- Then comes blog content and design when Eric will not only
write and edit content, but he'll "design a graphic for a blog post
in Adobe Illustrator."
- FSM skills: Content writing, blogging, graphic design
- As content is king, throughout the day, Eric will "monitor
social media accounts (specifically Twitter) for any brand mentions
and any good content o re-share from targeted
influencers. I'll queue content to post across all our social
networks.
- FSM skills: social media, social monitoring, influencer
engagement, branding
- Not all of Eric's tasks are executed online. At least once a
day, he'll "hold an introductory call with a vendor or potential
partner."
- FSM skill: business development, outreach
- All this work calls for analysis, so at some point in the day,
Eric will "analyze conversion data on a recent cohort for our key
metrics and strategize why it is or is not converting
higher than previous groups. Plans to improve will be made."
- FSM skills: analytics/reporting, iterating and strategizing to
improve
- Working on a small team means that you'll often have to care of
certain responsibilities that might otherwise not be a marketer's
responsibility. For Eric, this means "emailing with users for
feedback and resolving any issues. This is the customer service
part of my job."
- FSM skills: customer success, writing case studies
