Welcome back to the Marketing Moves monthly newsletter!
The nights are drawing in and suddenly Autumn is here. Where does the time go??
Traditionally, Q4 has always been the season where hiring, be it contract/permanent/fractional, picks up pace. Budgets get finalised, teams rally, and hiring momentum often surges. After a challenging year across the industry, many of us are looking to this final stretch for a lift.
Whether you’re a marketer exploring your next move or a company planning your next hire, we’re seeing encouraging signs that demand is rising again.
In this issue, we share case studies from recent hires, highlight posts we think could be genuinely useful and put the spotlight on Marketing Operations, a function we’ve seen growing fast in tech businesses. You’ll also find our latest article on AI’s impact on CVs.
And because we want this newsletter to be as valuable as possible, we’d love to know what topics you’d like us to explore in the future, whether that’s skills, hiring trends, or career advice. Just let us know.
🎙️Something new… Webinars!
We’re exploring the idea of launching a webinar series designed for our community – with two possible angles:
- For marketing talent: answering your career questions, sharing insights, and covering hot topics in marketing today.
- For hiring teams: tackling recruitment challenges, sharing best practices, and offering practical advice on building high-performing marketing teams.
We’re still shaping the format (live Q&A, recorded sessions, guest speakers… maybe all of the above!). Before we lock it in, we’d love your input:
👉 Would you be interested in joining?
👉 Do you have questions you’d like us to cover?
Hit reply to this email and share your thoughts – we’ll be following up with more details in the next newsletter.
