You know you are a marketer when...

We've all been there. After working long enough in a field of expertise, you start thinking about everyday things in a different way. You and colleagues have your own internal humour in the office that no-one else understands. Sounds familiar?

We’ve gathered a couple of signs that you are a true marketer, as well as some marketing humour. Hope you like it!

 You know you are a marketer when...

  • Rather than turning the volume down during the ad breaks when watching TV (if you even watch linear TV anymore) you pay extra attention and start analysing the choices made by the ad agency.
  • Your phone autocorrects “person” to “personas”
  • You have memorised the ideal image sizes for Twitter,  LinkedIn, Facebook and Instagram

  • Bad headings and subject lines give you chills, and might even make you unsubscribe
  • When navigating any website you analyse everything – how user-friendly it is, if there are any clear conversion points, language, images, and so on. If the website is not good enough, you won’t buy, regardless of how good the product might be.
