“Marketing has become deeply entwined with technology. This didn’t happen overnight; it’s been sneaking up on us for a while. But because technology had been so tangential to marketing management for most of our history, the organizational structure of marketing has been slow to adjust to this new technology-centric reality. But we’ve clearly reached a tipping point. To fully reap the benefits of this Golden Age, marketing must officially take ownership of its technology platforms and strategies. And the first step of such ownership is to appoint someone to lead it." Scott Brinker, author of the Chief Marketing Technologist Blog As Marketing Technologist at Primitive Social, I was responsible for supporting clients and the management team on the implementation of technologies that integrated with client websites, social media, and digital platforms. I was also responsible for analyzing data and reports from Google Analytics, HubSpot, Google Ads, and other sales and marketing platforms to pull together reccommendations for account team with inbound marketing strategies.
