this could have been an email

Dedicated to all the marketers who made it through this week: You’re probably feeling overwhelmed. "Did I send this email?", "Did I set up this campaign?", "Another brainstorming meeting I don’t have time for"... We say: hold up a second, that´s not how to get to success. We partnered with Tom Fishburne to tell you a simple truth: there's no one-size-fits-all definition of success. Tom himself is a marketer who had it all and understood one day in the middle of the office that what he really wants to become is a cartoonist. Tom’s story is straight out of a feel-good movie: he went from swiping prescription pads from his physician dad "because they were perfect for flipbooks" as a kid to becoming a big-shot cartoonist featured in The Wall Street Journal, Fast Company, and even Times Square billboards. Tom built a cartoon studio that has helped 200+ businesses communicate with cartoons and helped them find their sense of humor. Oh, and did we mention he helped score a Guinness World Record along the way? We have prepared more inspiring cartoons made together, so buckle up and keep an eye on our feed this month - we’re going to post more inspiring content that hopefully gives you that extra push to go after your own version of success! What will you make out of it? Who knows, but you better #makeitwithsemrush

Want to be a T-shaped marketer? 🌟 Imagine the letter ”T”: the top line shows you know a bit about many marketing areas, and the down line means you’re an expert in one particular area. For example, you might be awesome at social media but also know about things like ads, SEO, creating content, and email marketing. Becoming a T-shaped marketer means you get the basics across the board but dive deep into one special area. You see how your main skill works with others and are always ready to learn more in new areas. How to do it: enroll in our free digital marketing course 🔗 https://lnkd.in/daRFVbJr
