The problem with managing your marketing
As a business owner, your plate is always full. It’s impossible to tackle everything on your own, and it’s necessary to delegate what you can. Most of the time marketing is one of those things that gets delegated. But too often, delegation becomes abdication—and this is the problem.
When you give up complete ownership of your marketing and hire other people to do the work, you limit your growth and your bottom line results.
Introducing the
Certified Marketing Manager Program
What if you started to view marketing as an
important asset of your business?
There are parts of marketing that need to be internally owned and developed. When an outside consultant or advisor is your entire marketing department, you can only reach a certain level of growth. However, that’s not to say you don’t need to work with a marketing consultant. There’s a sweet spot where ‘owning’ and ‘renting’ work magically together, hand in hand.
You can have the best of both worlds?
You can really win when you marry an internal marketing hire with your marketing consultant. Here’s a picture of what that looks like:
1. Hire a marketing consultant to build and run your high-level strategy.
The consultant creates the plan, runs the operations of the plan, completes the analysis of results, and keeps your team on track as you’re working towards your big goals.
2. AND . . . level-up your in-house marketer.
This person will know the intricacies of the business and can be directed and trained by an outside resource—like a Duct Tape Marketing Consultant—to execute on this plan and craft messages that align with your strategy.
But that still brings us back to one of the biggest blockers for small business owners—how do you find, hire, train, and manage the right internal marketing person? Well, we built the Certified Marketing Manager program to solve this exact problem for you.
We’ll train your in-house marketer for you

Who the Certified Marketing Manager Program perfect for

“Before this program, I was messily trying to piece together a Marketing Plan for our business. I had a lot of random insight that I just didn’t know how to structure into a cohesive plan. Since starting the Marketing Manager Training Program, I feel much more confident in where our plan is moving, and that it has all the necessary parts for us to be successful. Sara has been incredibly helpful throughout the entire process, answering all my questions and giving helpful feedback. I’m excited to implement the Marketing Plan that I will be leaving this program with.”
