00:00:11 - 00:00:16
By combining proficiencies such as design code SEO email add so for media and
00:00:16 - 00:00:21
more, I developed into a Swiss Army knife at the company's and agencies I worked

00:00:24 - 00:00:28
strategic goal. So check it out.

rise of what's being called the full stack marketer. Yeah, it's a term that's
00:00:47 - 00:00:50
being thrown around quite a bit. And we want to make sure that you're not just
00:00:50 - 00:00:55
getting like, you know, like a surface level definition. Like what does it
00:00:55 - 00:00:59
actually mean to be one of these and how do you actually become one? Yeah. So to
00:00:59 - 00:01:04
guide us on this deep dive, we're using an article like Jeff Byer called
00:01:04 - 00:01:10
what is a full stack marketer? And it's from March 13, 2025. Very recently. So
00:01:10 - 00:01:15
very, very recent. Yeah. And so we're gonna be using this as our guide as we try to
00:01:15 - 00:01:21
really get under the hood. Yeah. Of what this new type of marketer, you know, is
00:01:21 - 00:01:24
all about. I think so many people are seeing this term now and they're like, what
00:01:24 - 00:01:30
is this like I need I need to know more. Yeah. And we're gonna take you there. We are
00:01:30 - 00:01:34
deep. So our mission today is really straightforward. Yeah. We want to dissect
00:01:34 - 00:01:40
this whole idea of the full stack marketer. We're gonna be exploring what their
00:01:40 - 00:01:45
core skills are. Right. Why they're proving to be such game changers, especially
00:01:45 - 00:01:48
for startups. Yeah, those fast moving small companies. Yeah, where they have to be
00:01:48 - 00:01:52
really agile and able to move quickly. Right. We'll look at what their
00:01:52 - 00:01:58
typical career journey often looks like, what tools they use. And even how a company
00:01:58 - 00:02:04
like Byer Co sort of fits into this whole evolving landscape. I love that. So to
00:02:04 - 00:02:09
kick us off. Yeah. What in essence is a full stack marketer. You know, I think a
00:02:09 - 00:02:16
good way to think about this is to imagine a highly versatile player on a sports
00:02:16 - 00:02:22
team. I like that. So somebody who can capability fill multiple positions. Okay. Right. So
00:02:22 - 00:02:25
you've got somebody who can, you know, in baseball, if you've got a utility
00:02:25 - 00:02:29
player who can play, you know, a couple different positions. They can pitch. They can
00:02:29 - 00:02:33
get exactly. And so in marketing, the full stack marketer is very similar. Right.
00:02:33 - 00:02:37
They're often described as a jack of all trades, but it's more than that. More than
00:02:37 - 00:02:41
that. It's not just that they can do a bunch of different things. Right. They have a
00:02:41 - 00:02:46
really crucial depth of understanding across these disciplines. Okay. And Jeff
00:02:46 - 00:02:52
Byer in the article really emphasizes their ability to manage these very diverse
00:02:52 - 00:02:57
tasks across the entire marketing stack. Okay. Now you said marketing stack. Can we
00:02:57 - 00:03:01
unpack that a little bit because that to me. It sounds like something that, you know,
00:03:01 - 00:03:08
people inside baseball, you know, would know. Yeah. But for those of us outside,
00:03:08 - 00:03:12
right. What is the stack? Okay. So let's think of the marketing stack as all the
00:03:12 - 00:03:16
different activities. Yeah. And all the different tools that a marketing team uses. So
00:03:16 - 00:03:22
everything from attracting visitors to your website or to your business. Okay. And then
00:03:22 - 00:03:26
converting them into customers and then building relationships from there. So you're
00:03:26 - 00:03:32
talking about, you know, the social media, the S E O, the email, the S E O, how people
00:03:32 - 00:03:37
find you on search engines, your email analytics. Okay. Right. Understanding what's working.
00:03:37 - 00:03:41
Yep. A full stack marketer isn't just familiar with one or two of these things. Right.
00:03:41 - 00:03:46
They have a working knowledge of how all of them connect and how all of them contribute
00:03:46 - 00:03:51
to the bigger picture. So it's not just the person who, you know, can post on TikTok really
00:03:51 - 00:03:56
well. Right. But also understands how that TikTok post then impacts. Exactly.
00:03:56 - 00:04:00
A website traffic. Yeah. And then, you know, lead generation and then ultimately sales.
00:04:00 - 00:04:06
Absolutely. They possess a comprehensive understanding of that entire digital marketing
00:04:06 - 00:04:11
landscape. That's pretty impressive. And it enables them to really develop and execute
00:04:11 - 00:04:15
these marketing strategies that aren't just like one off things. Right. But they're these
00:04:15 - 00:04:20
integrated campaigns working in concert. So they see that they see how it all fits together.
00:04:20 - 00:04:26
And that's what allows them to create these more effective strategies. Okay. So why is having
00:04:26 - 00:04:33
this broad skill set? Yeah. One person so valuable for businesses. So I think, you know,
00:04:33 - 00:04:39
the article highlights this that this is incredibly valuable for businesses that really need
00:04:39 - 00:04:44
to streamline their marketing and achieve tangible results efficiently. Yeah. Not just be doing
00:04:44 - 00:04:49
marketing for marketing sake. Right. But really trying to get those, those results at the end
00:04:49 - 00:04:54
of the day. Absolutely. Okay. So instead of needing to hire and coordinate all these different
00:04:54 - 00:04:59
specialists. Oh, I see. You know, one for SEO, one for social media, one for email and so
00:04:59 - 00:05:04
on. Yeah. One person who can wear all those hats. A full stack marketer can really handle
00:05:04 - 00:05:10
a lot of these responsibilities, which leads to a more cohesive and much more efficient approach.
00:05:10 - 00:05:15
And that's got to be especially valuable, I imagine, for those startups, yes, especially
00:05:15 - 00:05:20
where budgets are tight and teams are lean. Exactly. And for startups and small businesses with
00:05:20 - 00:05:24
those limited financial resources, right. You know, building a full team of specialized
00:05:24 - 00:05:29
marketers can be incredibly expensive. Yeah. You can't afford to hire, you know, five
00:05:29 - 00:05:34
or different people. You just can't do all have, you know, one very specific, right. And
00:05:34 - 00:05:40
you're a small team area of expertise. So a full stack marketer can provide a very cost
00:05:40 - 00:05:45
effective solution by being able to wear all those hats. I love that analogy. Yeah. But
00:05:45 - 00:05:50
they're wearing all these different hats and capable manage this whole range of essential
00:05:50 - 00:05:55
marketing functions. So they can help us start up. Yes. Really establish a strong digital
00:05:55 - 00:06:00
presence and drive that early growth without that big price tag without breaking the
00:06:00 - 00:06:05
banks of being agile and keeping costs down. Yeah. You know, those are kind of like the,
00:06:05 - 00:06:12
you know, the main pillars of the startup handbook. Exactly. So how does this Swiss army knife
00:06:12 - 00:06:18
feel like that too? Of a marketer thrive in that really fast-paced startup environment.
00:06:18 - 00:06:22
So as the article points out agility and cost efficiency, they aren't just nice to
00:06:22 - 00:06:27
have. Right. They're often critical. They're make or break. They're make or break. Yeah.
00:06:27 - 00:06:32
For these startups for survival. Right. So full stack marketers empower these companies
00:06:32 - 00:06:38
to cover all those essential marketing bases without the overhead of that big specialized
00:06:38 - 00:06:45
team. So you have one person who can, you know, craft the SEO strategies. Yeah. Manage
00:06:45 - 00:06:50
social media engagement. You know, run email marketing campaigns. And then dive into
00:06:50 - 00:06:55
the analytics and look at the numbers to see what's actually working. Exactly. So they're
00:06:55 - 00:06:59
not just like, you know, throwing spaghetti at the wall and seeing what sticks. Yeah. They're
00:06:59 - 00:07:03
launching campaign launching campaign and then immediately analyzing their performance.
00:07:03 - 00:07:08
Exactly. And I think that's what's so fascinating here is their ability to quickly adjust those
00:07:08 - 00:07:14
strategies based on the data they're seeing real time in real time. Yeah. Because in a startup,
00:07:14 - 00:07:19
things can change overnight. Absolutely. So that adaptability is not just a benefit. It's
00:07:19 - 00:07:24
essential. It's essential for staying ahead of the curve and maximizing your impact with
00:07:24 - 00:07:28
limited resources. It's almost like having a marketing generalist. Yeah. Who can not only,
00:07:28 - 00:07:33
you know, execute, right. But also see the battlefield and adjust the plan accordingly.
00:07:33 - 00:07:39
That's a really great way to put it. And the article really emphasizes their role on these
00:07:39 - 00:07:45
lean teams. They aren't just executing these isolated tasks. They're often responsible
00:07:45 - 00:07:50
for both content creation and performance analysis. Wow. So they're making sure that everything
00:07:50 - 00:07:55
they're doing is directly aligned with the business objectives. Yeah. Making the most
00:07:55 - 00:08:01
of those. Absolutely. Those early resources. Every dollar counts. Yeah. So we kind of understand
00:08:01 - 00:08:07
the what now. We understand the why. Yeah. So let's delve into the how. Okay. Let's do it.
00:08:07 - 00:08:13
What are the specific skills that make up this Swiss Army knife? Yeah. What are the tools
00:08:13 - 00:08:16
in that knife? Yeah. What are the tools in that knife? So what abilities are we talking
00:08:16 - 00:08:22
about here? So the article identifies a few core skill sets. Okay. First analytics and
00:08:22 - 00:08:26
data. Okay. Data. And this goes way beyond not just looking at spreadsheets. Not just looking
00:08:26 - 00:08:33
at spreadsheets. It's about being able to take raw data and turn it into actionable insights.
00:08:33 - 00:08:39
So they need to be really proficient in establishing and managing analytics frameworks.
00:08:39 - 00:08:43
Okay. So that means setting up the systems to get the right data. Exactly. You got to be
00:08:43 - 00:08:47
collecting the right data. Yeah. If you're measuring the wrong thing. It's garbage and garbage
00:08:47 - 00:08:52
out. Yeah. Carbaging garbage out. So give me an example. Okay. So for example, they would
00:08:52 - 00:09:00
know how to properly implement tracking codes on a website to monitor user behavior.
00:09:00 - 00:09:05
Okay. So it's not just about having the data. Right. But knowing what data to even collect.
00:09:05 - 00:09:08
Yeah. How do you even set up the collection process? And how to set up the collection
00:09:08 - 00:09:13
process? Yeah. Exactly. So what are like the KPIs? Right. So then you have to think about
00:09:13 - 00:09:18
those key performance indicators. Yeah. Right. The metrics that actually drive those
00:09:18 - 00:09:23
meaningful actions. Yeah. That actually matter to the business. So it's about understanding
00:09:23 - 00:09:28
what is this data actually telling us? Right. About customer behavior, about campaign performance
00:09:28 - 00:09:32
about how effective we're being. Yeah. And then using those insights to actually make
00:09:32 - 00:09:38
smarter decisions. Right. So for instance, a full stack marketer might notice a really
00:09:38 - 00:09:42
high bounce rate on a particular landing page. Right. They're looking at Google Analytics
00:09:42 - 00:09:47
or like, whoa, people are coming to this page and they're leaving. Right. But the insight
00:09:47 - 00:09:53
isn't just that people are leaving. It's why are they leaving? Like why are they bouncing?
00:09:53 - 00:09:58
Yeah. Maybe the page is loading really slowly or maybe the call to action isn't clear.
00:09:58 - 00:10:04
Okay. So the actionable insight there would be to optimize that page speed or to revise
00:10:04 - 00:10:09
that call to action based on some A, B testing. Okay. So you're constantly testing different
00:10:09 - 00:10:13
things, constantly testing things, seeing what resonates, seeing what works, and then refining
00:10:13 - 00:10:19
the strategies. Yeah. And that's the iterative process that's mentioned in the article. Yeah.
00:10:19 - 00:10:23
Testing optimization constantly experimenting to see what resonates with the audience and
00:10:23 - 00:10:28
refining those strategies to improve engagement and conversion rates. Okay. So they've got to
00:10:28 - 00:10:32
be data savvy, data savvy. They've got to be really good at understanding what the data
00:10:32 - 00:10:39
means. Yeah. Okay. So what's the next crucial skill? Okay. So the next one is content creation.
00:10:39 - 00:10:43
Content. So the full stack marketer isn't just, you know, head down in spreadsheets all
00:10:43 - 00:10:51
day. Right. They also have this strong ability to bring the brand story to life through really
00:10:51 - 00:10:56
compelling content. Okay. And this could mean, you know, writing a really persuasive block
00:10:56 - 00:11:00
post that's going to resonate with the target audience. Yeah. It could mean developing a
00:11:00 - 00:11:06
really engaging video that grabs people's attention. Okay. It could even mean that they have an
00:11:06 - 00:11:11
eye for basic design. Okay. So that all the marketing materials look really good. So they're
00:11:11 - 00:11:17
not just a wordsmith. They also have some visual sense as well. Exactly. And while they might
00:11:17 - 00:11:22
not be, you know, a professional graphic designer or, you know, Pulitzer Prize winning
00:11:22 - 00:11:26
writing. Right. They're not specialists in any one thing. Right. But they have a good
00:11:26 - 00:11:31
understanding of how to create. They understand what makes good content effective content across
00:11:31 - 00:11:35
different platforms. Okay. And the article really emphasizes that they're not just randomly
00:11:35 - 00:11:40
creating this content. There's a strategic planning process that goes into this. They have
00:11:40 - 00:11:47
a plan. They have a plan. Yeah. It's all designed to engage the target audience, build those meaningful
00:11:47 - 00:11:52
connections and really strengthen the brand's overall presence. So the content has to be
00:11:52 - 00:11:58
purposeful purposeful. And it has to be aligned with those. Yeah. With the bigger marketing goals.
00:11:58 - 00:12:03
Marketing goals. Okay. So we've got data. We've got content. What about reaching those
00:12:03 - 00:12:09
people directly? Okay. So that's where the expertise in email marketing comes in email.
00:12:09 - 00:12:14

to them. Yeah. You're speaking to them directly as an individual as an individual. Yeah. And this
00:12:35 - 00:12:42
could involve setting up those automated email sequences that onboard new users or try
00:12:42 - 00:12:46
to reengage people who haven't been around for a while. So you're building this dialogue.
00:12:46 - 00:12:53
It's dialogue with potential and existing customers through their inbox. Yeah. Rather than just,
00:12:53 - 00:12:57
you know, shouting from the rooftops, not just shouting. You're having a conversation.
00:12:57 - 00:13:02
A conversation, right? And the article really highlights these well-thought-out email
