No marketing project will succeed without strategic planning - far too many moving parts exist. Break down goals into action steps, then delegate these tasks to team members best suited to complete them. While setting a roadmap at the beginning is essential, it's crucial to remain flexible enough to adjust when circumstances demand it (i.e., tech outage).

Project managers and program managers leading marketing operations must understand that their project stakeholders look to them for key next steps and direction. It's our job to filter out key information to keep operations running smoothly, efficiently, and with laser focus. Always aim to provide information that is actionable, clear and cohesive across stakeholders and communication whether it's via emails, meetings or interactions.

Modern technology and artificial intelligence technologies and applications have become important for managing marketing projects making it necessary to use and utilize them to overcome competitors. The magnitude of the information made it impossible to keep pace without relying on AI and modern technologies that aggregate information from various available sources, work to filter it and choose the most suitable for the project's work. Furthermore modern technology contributes to reducing the time and accuracy of business delivery at the lowest costs and the best desired results.

With all of the project management tools available to document project documents, progress, milestones, updates, etc., it is important to pick one that works for you and the team. Often these tools will be the centralized digital working space for project stakeholders—so be sure to invest in training and best practices. A good tool won't work if it's not being used, or if users don't know how to use the tool.

Successful leadership not only manages the project, but invests in the team's development and promotes the achievement of the desired results. A marketer should be able to lead the team, which may consist of managers and staff of other departments, it is necessary to combine technical, human and managerial skills, and the ability to motivate, guide and communicate effectively, all of which can be a critical factor in bringing about change and success in marketing projects.
