S3.8 Explaining Marketing Ops Like You’re 5 (Cartoons, Grandma, Spam Emails, and Therapy)

You know that moment when someone at a party (or, like, your mom) asks what you do for a living… and suddenly your job sounds fake? Yeah. That’s this episode.

We’re talking about how we explain our work in marketing ops to parents, kindergarten teachers, Sephora managers, and anyone else who didn’t accidentally fall into this career path with us. (Shoutout to our friends who listen even though they have zero idea what we’re saying. Love you, mean it.)

In this episode, we:

✨ Try to describe ops like we’re six years old (cartoons and kitchen tools included)

✨ Rapid-fire define acronyms that make normal humans’ brains melt (MQL, SLA, RevOps, all the hits)

✨ Bond over the trauma of being “the email person” forever

✨ Laugh at our own jokes (as always)

Basically, if your eyes glaze over every time someone says “system sync” but you still want to hang with us, this is your episode.

Drop your favorite made-up acronym in the comments, because clearly we don’t have enough already. 🙃
