Resume structure and impact-bullet rewrites for marketers — channel numbers, budget scale, and experiment evidence that separate operators from participants.
Marketing is the easiest field to fake on a resume ("ran campaigns") and the easiest to prove (every channel has numbers). Hiring managers know both facts — so a marketing resume without metrics is read as a marketer without results.
| Before (activity) | After (numbers + mechanism) |
|---|---|
| Managed social media accounts | Grew LinkedIn from 4k to 30k followers in a year with a 3-posts-a-week system; now sources ~20% of inbound demo requests |
| Ran Google Ads campaigns | Managed {{monthly budget}} in paid search; restructured to intent-based ad groups and cut CAC 35% while scaling spend 2x |
| Improved website SEO | Built a programmatic content play (40 comparison pages) that ranks for {{N}} commercial keywords and drives {{traffic/pipeline number}} |
| Sent email newsletters | Rebuilt the nurture flow from 4 blasts to a 9-touch behavioral sequence; open rate up 12 points, sequence-sourced pipeline doubled |
The formula: channel + budget/scale + what you changed + funnel consequence. Down-funnel numbers (pipeline, CAC, revenue) outrank vanity metrics — one pipeline number is worth five engagement rates.
