Mistakes that cost interviews

  • Assets listed with no result
  • Vanity metrics presented as revenue
  • Campaign lists with no context

Evidence that counts in marketing

  • Pipeline, leads or revenue, with how they were attributed
  • Channels run and their documented results
  • Budget managed
  • Campaigns or launches and their results
  • Tools in context
