Why Replacing a Marketer Isn’t the Same as Knowing What You Need
When a marketing lead leaves, the instinctive response is to find a replacement quickly. Businesses want continuity and minimal disruption.
But replacing a person doesn’t always solve the problem.
The questions many teams avoid
A departure often exposes uncertainty:
- What marketing activity is actually driving results?
- Which skills are missing?
- Has the business outgrown the role?
Hiring like-for-like can embed the same issues for another year or more.
Why a short pause creates better outcomes
Short-term expert support during transition allows businesses to:
- Review performance objectively
- Identify real skill gaps
- Clarify priorities before recruiting
This approach reduces the risk of expensive mis-hires and misaligned marketing strategies.
