Eggs Benedict
Every team member at KK must be prepared to do what needs to be done to make things happen.
We call this Eggs Benedict.
The phrase comes from an inspection trip where the Assistant Cruise Director was presenting on TV, fetching coffee, performing on stage, and during a busy buffet was serving Eggs Benedict to guests. Every part of the experience mattered, and everyone stepped in where needed.
Marketing is no different.
Some days you may be planning campaigns and coordinating agencies. Other days you may be building email lists, writing copy, setting up landing pages, or helping promote an event at short notice.
You may be scheduling posts late in the evening before a launch.
You may be helping test a booking journey.
You may be helping on site at events.
Titles do not matter here. Outcomes do.
If something needs doing, you do it.
That is Eggs Benedict.
