7 Characteristics That Successful Marketers Share

1. Creativity

As a marketer, and thus advertiser, one needs out-of-the-box ‘fresh’ ideas to cut through the media clutter because, as a certain company strongly believes that if you don’t stand out from the clutter, you are adding to it.

2. A Passion for Brands

3. Constant Researcher

A marketer always wants to know, know and know, and if there is nothing else to know he asks why there isn’t anything else to learn.

4. Strategically

Minded All brands are at a race to get customer’s attention, inspire action and ultimately increase their bottom-line. Because of this, marketing has gone up a nodge since the 80’s where there were only a few competing brands across all industries. Marketing requires strategically minded individuals, those who understand their target market enough to effectively match them to the company’s offering in a successful attempt to produce results that are favourable to all stakeholders of the company.

5. Open-mindedness

Open-mindedness is a brother to creativity, the more open-minded one is, the more creative they are or will become. Open-mindedness goes along way because creativity is a start of all successful marketing strategies.

6. Professionalism

7. Hard-work

Marketing for any brand is not physics, believe it! It can be done by anyone who is willing to live and breath the profession, this means those who think they are ‘uncreative’ can ‘learn’ to be creative. Truth is, everyone is creative, it is in the willingness to channel this creativity in a way that will make you great at marketing.
