Marketing can often feel overwhelming. You’re managing strategy, campaigns, content, events, and reporting while also trying to stay creative and consistent. In this casual, non-scripted conversation, Mari-Liis Vaher and Laura Martšenkov openly share their strengths and weaknesses, the story behind the Powerful Marketers Hub, and why building a supportive community matters so much in marketing.
They also discuss practical lessons on handling mistakes, finding energy in your work, and creating a safe space where marketers can grow together.
3 Key Takeaways from the Episode:
1. Identify your energy drivers and drainers
Every marketer has tasks that fuel them and tasks that drain them. Mari-Liis thrives on networking, speaking, and connecting, while Laura finds flow in structure, systems, and analysis.
Take five minutes to map your own energy drivers and drainers. Once you see the pattern, you can delegate, automate, or systemize the draining tasks and double down on the ones that give you energy. This not only prevents burnout but also makes your work more sustainable.
2. Reframe mistakes as practice rounds
In the film industry, every “mistake” is simply another take. Apply the same thinking in marketing: each failed campaign, off-target post, or missed deadline is data you can use to improve the next attempt.
Instead of asking, “Why did this fail?” ask, “What did I learn and how can I adjust?” This shift reduces the fear of getting it wrong and keeps you experimenting until you find what works.
3. Build your circle of support
Marketing is rarely a solo sport. Without fresh perspectives, it’s easy to repeat the same actions and expect different results. Community shortens the learning curve by giving you feedback, ideas, and accountability.
Whether you join a mastermind group, an online community, or simply ask colleagues for input, remember that asking for help is a strength, not a weakness. Collaboration often unlocks solutions you wouldn’t see on your own.
