Fix marketing homepage to match new organization structure

Brendan O'Leary requested to merge brendan-reorg-marketing into master

Why is this change being made?

There were multiple "sources of truth" of the marketing department and sub-department layout:

  • The top of the handbook sentence about the departments in marketing
  • The "Marketing Team Functional Groups" section
  • The "Marketing Handbooks" section UNDER the "functional groups" section

This MR seeks to clear up that confusion by:

  • Using the sentence at the top as approved by Ashley in !111742 (merged) as the source of truth for departments and their sub-departments
  • Changing that sentence slightly as the department is not called Marketing Strategy and Operations it is called Marketing Strategy and Platforms (of which Marketing Operations is a sub-department) so I changed that in the first sentence
  • Update the "Marketing Team Functional Groups" section to serve as "Departments" in line with the correct language per our GitLab organization structure
  • Move all handbooks for sub-departments and teams UNDER those departments to the appropriate place in that section.
  • Remove "Corporate marketing" as department
