Marketing Managers 🚨What are your biggest marketing pet peeves?

Question

My biggest pet peeve would be when you commit so much time and effort to creating a video, only for the algorithm wave to miss it, and it ends up not doing as well as you thought.

Endless revisions, lack of clear goals, and when data is ignored in favor of gut feelings!

Ardhian S · Answer

Marketing managers often have a few common pet peeves, such as:

1. Lack of clear communication – When teams aren't aligned or briefs are unclear.
2. Unrealistic expectations – When stakeholders demand results without understanding the work involved.
3. Last-minute changes – When campaigns or strategies are altered too close to launch.
4. Ignoring data – When decisions are made without analyzing performance metrics.
5. Inconsistent branding – When the brand message or visual identity is not followed properly across channels.

This applies to me most of time.

During summer friend of mine showed me some random video. It was so "shallow" and shot like by the potato :DD and that guy became celebrity, food chains wanted to collab with him. I would say that the whole video took him maybe 2 minutes (recording and uploading on TT). The video blown up.
