Full Stack Marketers - The Antidote to Stagnation

What Is a Full Stack Marketer?

A full stack marketer is someone who has deep expertise across multiple marketing disciplines. Unlike generalists or specialists, full stack marketers can independently manage marketing projects from start to finish, including strategy, execution, and analytics.

To clarify, here is how full stack marketers differ from other common marketing profiles:

• Generalist: Broad knowledge, limited depth.

• T-Shaped Marketer: Broad knowledge, deep expertise in one or two areas.

• Specialist: Deep expertise in a single discipline.

• Full Stack Marketer: Deep expertise across multiple marketing disciplines.

Full stack marketers combine the breadth of generalists with the depth of specialists. They can independently build, manage, and optimise complete marketing campaigns without relying heavily on external resources.

Why T-Shaped Marketers Are No Longer Enough

For years, T-shaped marketers were considered ideal hires. However, marketing has become increasingly complex, interconnected, and data-driven. T-shaped marketers often depend on freelancers, agencies, or internal specialists to execute comprehensive campaigns. This dependency slows down execution, reduces agility, and limits growth.

In our recent article, The Death of the T-Shaped Marketer, we explained why growth-focused teams now need marketers who can independently own the entire marketing process—from ideation and execution to analytics and optimisation.

Benefits of Hiring a Full Stack Marketer

Full stack marketers offer several clear advantages for growth marketing teams:

• Speed and agility: Fewer dependencies mean faster testing, iteration, and optimisation.

• Cost efficiency: Reduced reliance on external agencies and freelancers lowers costs and improves budget control.

• Holistic understanding: Deep expertise across multiple channels enables cohesive, integrated strategies.

• Ownership and accountability: Managing the entire marketing process ensures clear responsibility and consistent results.

How to Identify a True Full Stack Marketer

Not everyone who claims to be a full stack marketer truly fits the description. Genuine full stack marketers typically demonstrate:

• Proven expertise in multiple marketing disciplines, such as content marketing, SEO, paid advertising, analytics, and conversion rate optimisation.

• A track record of independently executing successful campaigns from start to finish.

• The ability to quickly learn and adapt to new tools, platforms, and methodologies.

• Strong analytical skills to measure, interpret, and act on campaign data effectively.
