Career Crossroad?
With almost 4 years reporting to the head of sales I am responsible for tasks such as managing pr and case study articles, an advertising ageny and leads from advertising, putting together a marketing budget, coordinating 10 tradeshows a year, managing databases of photo and other statistical data, literature creation via myself and outsourcing, literature printing & distribution, promotion items and a new work in creating & distributing a sales newsletter, creating & distributing email marketing campaigns & maintaining a brand new website which i helped manage the creation of. All of this and more has been great experience for a college grad of 2000. I was hired as a Sales Asst. but changed my title to manager of communications & sales support, after one month. Since then I have been referred to by my company Sales Managers as marketing manager and the CEO said I am the "Mktg person" and that I have a lot to "juggle" but I am feeling undervalued because I have not been compensated except by the normal cost of living increase. I cannot "move up" because I am the "Mktg dept". I thought I was on the right track but now I am reevaluating my position. I understand that many of the workers at my small company are wearing many hats but I am frankly burning out. I will be traveling on business to a tradeshow tomorrow and my not return an email until next thursday. Thank you.
