    What if the “perfect” marketing career path doesn’t exist?

If you’ve ever felt behind, burned out, or boxed in by your job title, this episode is a must-listen. Harvey’s advice will help you build a career that fits you…not the other way around.

In this episode, Tamara flips the script on her former producer to unpack how Klue turned a traditional marketing team into a content powerhouse.

They also break down the behind-the-scenes of Ready for Launch, from concept to distribution strategy, and reveal the systems that make creative marketing sustainable for small teams.
