Good morning, Marketers, and if there was any question, the future looks bright if you’re in the marketing ops profession.
Global marketing ops pro at AWS Darrell Alfonso has shared his projections of how the field will evolve next year. More responsibilities, more opportunities to impact your organization. Hopefully, this also means more leadership roles, promotions and recognition for marketing ops.
