Marketing Career Mistakes | Sales Truth, AI Impact & Career Growth

Описание: Most people choose marketing without truly understanding what they are signing up for.

It looks creative.
It sounds flexible.
It feels safer than “hard” careers.

But a few years in, many marketers find themselves stuck—busy, but not valuable. Growing in title, but not in judgment. Wondering why their career has plateaued despite working hard.

In this episode of “Let’s Hear It From…”, we break down the real marketing career mistakes that no one talks about—especially in classrooms, certifications, or glossy LinkedIn posts.

Our guest, Atul Raja, brings nearly three decades of experience building iconic brands across FMCG, telecom, media, automotive, and global markets. Having worked on both strategy and revenue, and having evaluated thousands of professionals over the years, he shares insights that are rarely spoken—but deeply felt by those in the field.

🎯 In this conversation, we discuss:
Why students should intentionally choose marketing—not drift into it
The mindset required to survive and grow in a marketing career
Why avoiding sales exposure quietly damages marketing careers
What actually causes mid-career marketers to plateau
How marketing roles evolve from fresher to leadership levels
Which marketing skills will matter in the age of AI—and which won’t
What hiring leaders really look for beyond resumes and certifications
How to think long-term about relevance, judgment, and career leverage

This episode is especially valuable if you are:
A student considering marketing as a specialization
An early-career marketer unsure if you’re on the right path
A mid-level professional feeling stuck or undervalued
A senior marketer rethinking relevance in an AI-driven world

If this conversation raised a question about your own career, don’t keep it to yourself.

Write your question in the comments with a bit of context—
whether you’re a student, a working professional, or someone at a crossroads.

I read the comments personally and will respond—either with direct clarity or by bringing insights from leaders like Atul in future episodes.

This is not about chasing views.
It’s about having honest career conversations that actually help.
