Welcome to Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit

PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE

May 2021

Super Heroes

I recently read this article: “What Marketers and Agency Execs Can Learn from Marvel.” (And yes, that is from Marvel Comic Heroes.)

The article extolls the virtues of growing, changing, evolving and adapting. Specifically, the author is talking about branding, but I think it would be important to also apply these characteristics to ourselves as leaders. If 2020 and the world pandemic taught us nothing else, it taught us that we had to pivot and adapt in order to survive. Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit has done just that. Many of our members and colleagues have taken advantage of the new Career Center that was created on our website. Events that previously were in-person are now on video chat or received through online webinars. The use of LinkedIn and Facebook for announcements or general communication is widespread. MSE Detroit took this time during the lockdown to enhance our website. You may have noticed that we have a video library of programs presented using Zoom this year which are free to members and a nominal fee to future members/guests.

Are you a superhero?  Definition: A superhero or superheroine is a stock character that possesses abilities beyond those of ordinary people, who typically uses his or her powers to help the world become a better place, or is dedicated to protecting the public, and fighting crime.

I would like to think that all of our members of Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit are professional superheroes. They are ordinary people who have the sales and marketing skills to help their employers build a better company while doing it with dedication and ethics.

Help us build our superhero fan base. Please encourage your colleagues to join this remarkable organization of individuals that have a passion for their craft. https://www.msedetroit.org/Benefits/

In Closing...

March was Women’s History Month. In the April newsletter I was pleased to extoll the praises of the women who have led our MSE Detroit organization over the years. Unfortunately, as I predicted when I said “ I apologize if inadvertently I omitted anyone,” there were two women that I did leave off:

Sherry Muir Irwin, Co-Founder & Partner - The Hunter Group LLC - International Executive Search

Kim Ziomek, Business Development liaison and high energy professional for the mobility industry for strategic growth.

I am so sorry that I left them off, but I was pleased to know how many people read the newsletter and let me know the excellent contributions that both ladies shared with our organization! I am so incredibly grateful to them and look forward to continuing to work with them to strength our Marketing & Sales Executives of Detroit.

Be well and be safe.
