  65. Goodbye, specialist. 
 Hello, generalist.7 2017
  66. Historically, marketers defined themselves by their specialty I’m an 
 email marketer. I’m an
 SEO strategist. I’m a social media specialist.
  67. Defining ourselves by siloed, vertical titles has led to siloed, vertical work I’m an 
 email marketer, but I don’t code. I’m an
 SEO strategist, but I don’t create content. I’m a social media specialist, but I don’t design.
  68. It's time to say goodbye to the specialist, and hello to the generalist Hello! I do a little bit of everything.
  69. That’s because technology has leveled the playing field Investment in and access to new tools has enhanced marketers’ skills. In addition, platforms have made it easier for users of all skill levels and abilities.
  70. In 2017, the best marketers will know just enough outside their specialty to be dangerous I’m an 
 email marketer, AND I know HTML. I’m an
 SEO strategist, AND I help create branded content. I’m a social media specialist, AND I know photoshop.
  71. Soon, it will be acceptable to simply say: “I am a marketer” I am a marketer.I am a marketer. I am a marketer.
  72. Before you throw out the org chart and do away with titles, just know: Every single member of your team should be on board with becoming a generalist Finding the right team members will require hiring for outlook as much as hiring for skills.
