I am considering what I can only call “the nuclear option.”
An opportunity has arisen, allowing me to pursue an extremely affordable education from a reputable college. A quick synopsis/pretext to my question for you:
- I can pursue an MBA with a Marketing Analytics concentration. Or…
- I can pursue a Masters in Data Science. Or…
- I stick with my current educational methods: YouTube, Skillshop, Meta, Sprout, LinkedIn Learning and CXL. Or...
- I stop fixating on education (aka “staying in my lane”).
Like many of you, I am a one person Social Media and Copywriting department. I currently use almost all of Sprout’s tools along with SpyFu to automate the research side of my job, so I might be more reactive to our fans/followers and plan future campaigns. In may ways, sprout takes the bricks out of the briefcase.
My desire for education stems from a strong need to help bridge the informational gap many of us face: marketing’s often vague relationship to revenue, as I don’t have a “buy” button at the end of my attribution funnel, nor do I sufficiently speak the CFO’s language to relay that value effectively (IMO).
I believe there are deeper, more relevant data sets out there and better ways to communicate them. Perhaps going back to school will help me find them…?
Thoughts?
