          WED, Aug 19, 2026 at 11AM EST

          What you will take away:

          • Learn why your marketing goals should determine your team structure, not the other way around.
          • Identify the hiring mistakes that create bottlenecks, unclear ownership, and wasted budget.
          • Understand how to decide between full-time hires, nearshore talent, outsourced support, and project-based specialists.
          • See how one logistics company built a flexible marketing team around its specific goals and growth needs.
          • Walk away with a practical framework for building a marketing team that fits your strategy, budget, and stage of growth.
