Bang on the Drum All Day: Life After Marketing
Posted in: Uncategorized
There is life after marketing, and Erin Hunter Sills is vrooming proof.
As director of consumer insights at Facebook, she had one of the best jobs in market research at a company changing the face of marketing. And then she left it all behindto race motorcycles. Turns out she’s pretty good at doing that too, having set 20 motorcycle land speed records.
People in marketing usually rotate among brands, agencies, media and research firms, but Sills is among the rare breed who take their money and run from the industryor in her case, motor away at upward of 200 miles per hour. She’s just one of the higher-profile departures from the marketing world, folks who have left in recent years either to chase a dream or because they’ve had enough. And they don’t miss their old marketing jobs one bit.
