7 things to look for in a marketing manager
What I look for when hiring a marketing manager
1. Initiative
It's great if you can do what your manager tells you. It's even better if you can spot a problem, generate a solution, and deliver it on your own.
2. Creativity
Can you come up with new ideas and approaches? Are you up to date with the latest technologies, platforms and trends? Too many people keep reusing something that worked before. And while there are times when "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "no need to reinvent the wheel" are true, make sure you're not stuck in a rut.
3. Numeracy
Google Analytics, Omniture, PPC campaigns, email metrics, Eloqua, Salesforce, HubSpot… the list goes on. All of these marketing tools require you to be able to identify, manipulate and understand data. Please don't tell me, "I'm not a mathematician."
4. Legal basis
No, you don't need to have a J.D. But you should be aware of privacy laws and other consumer protections, CAN-SPAM, and the rules and regulations of any platform you wish to use. Not to mention that old but good, the difference between a raffle and a contest.
5. Test the chops
At the very least, have knowledge of your referral and know what impact your campaign is having. Best practice: Constantly test. Your bible: Which test won. Be prepared to tell an interviewer what you tested, why, and what you learned.
6. Mastery of social networks
You don't need to be the person who actually posts on social media for your business, but you do need to have an understanding of different platforms and their individual business applicability that goes beyond "I have a personal Facebook account". Who is your audience? Where are they going? Are they accessing it on a computer, smartphone or tablet? Both Instagram and Pinterest are visual platforms — which is best for your brand? And finally, do you know how to follow it? I mentioned the marketing tools above - there are even more for monitoring social metrics.

7. Curiosity
I believe that native curiosity will increasingly make the difference between people who succeed and thrive in a rapidly changing business environment, and those who calcify into “this is how we've always done it” mode. Do you approach new tools and challenges like a child with a new toy, happily digging and poking around until it becomes second nature? Or are you asking someone else, "how does it work?" Tell me a story about how you rolled up your sleeves and just dug in to figure it out.
Finally, be an honest person. It's not specific to marketing, but it's important.
