You hired someone to take marketing off your plate.
Somehow, it’s still on your plate. Now with more questions.
Can you approve this post?
What should we say on the website?
Is the event more important than the email?
Who are we targeting with this, anyway?
Those are reasonable questions. But answering them between client meetings becomes another job.
Your coordinator can organise the work, create the content and keep things moving. They still need to know what the business is trying to achieve, who matters most and which priorities can wait.
Without those decisions, everything comes back to you.
A useful place to start this week: agree on the three marketing priorities that matter most, what can wait, and what your team can decide without checking with you.
That’s part of the work I do through Fractional Marketing Direction—setting priorities and guiding your people and suppliers so you’re carrying less of the day-to-day thinking.
Does this feel familiar in your business?
