The tools that the next Marketing Manager will inherit are good. The feel of the organizational brand is current, vibrant and engaging, but yet still evolving. The strategies being developed and engaged by the Creative Team highlight a commitment to meeting people where they are at and inviting them to take the next step in their faith journey. The right next leader will need to be an established, winning player, who’s not afraid to coach up their team, when needed. Someone integrated and experienced in the strategy of external marketing and internal communications. That will be the win.
