My experience working with Tandem Theory often felt like being “held hostage” in my role, in the sense that it was difficult to operate effectively or advocate for necessary changes. As part of an internal marketing team, I spent a significant amount of time addressing ongoing concerns around paid media strategy, including campaign structure and performance transparency. I frequently pushed for clear reporting and more accurate representation of results, which at times led to friction. There were also ongoing inefficiencies that required additional internal time and oversight, particularly around budget allocation and misaligned efforts. While there were team members I appreciated working with, the overall experience felt unnecessarily difficult to navigate.
