Mental Health in Marketing: Top Wellness Tips for B2B Marketers
By Sam Kirchoff
May is Mental Health Awareness Month. At TopRank Marketing, we care about mental health.
We care about it because we care about people: their words, their stories, their experiences. Those things matter, and in order to protect them, we have to protect the well-being of the individuals they come from.
Did you know that in the United States alone, there are over 50 million people currently experiencing some form of mental illness? You might even be one of them. If that’s the case, thank you. Thank you for getting up this morning. Thank you for reading our words. Thank you for being here.
To acknowledge the importance of this month and our dedication to the cause of positive mental health in our industry, we’re starting a new column on the TopRank Marketing Blog: Mental Health in Marketing. The goal of this column is to share empathetic, practical, and accessible tips for maintaining a good headspace while in your workspace.
No blog can replace the medical advice and care of both psychologists and licensed therapists, however. Our advice is here to help you navigate day-to-day work with a little more ease. For long term care, we highly recommend seeking the help of medical professionals.
We’re looking forward to having you join us as we discuss topics we care about: avoiding burnout, improving communication, cultivating comfort, and streamlining success. Fidgets, too.
For our inaugural post, we wanted to share a few basic mental health tips that come straight from the hearts —and keyboards —of a number of TopRank team members.

“I love to rejuvenate and reflect by getting outside daily either trail running, freestyle cross-country skiing, single-track mountain biking, or hiking. Keeping a year-round connection with Mother Nature in either a solo or group workout — depending on what you need that day — can go a surprisingly long way in helping to maintain both physical and mental health.”
— Lane R. Ellis, Social Media and Content Marketing Manager
“Walks. Walks are everything. I make a point of getting out for at least an hour long brisk walk everyday. If it’s cold out, I bundle up. Find a good podcast and some tunes that can let your mind escape from everything else. Especially in this age of remote work that often has us working inside and alone all day, the fresh air and exercise are incredibly refreshing and invigorating.”
— Nick Nelson, Senior Content Marketing Manager
“What works in the moment is three deep breaths. One to let out the stress. One to reconnect with your body. The last to center you on what you need to do …read more
