The conversations that matter in B2B Tech marketing
Generated by Splendid Group
If your career depends on how well you know how to do B2B marketing for technology brands, these are conversations you want to be in. We get some of the most interesting people in the field to tell us how (and why) they do what they do. We look at some of the core skills a marketer needs, pull them apart to see how they work (like a curious kid with a toaster) and wonder if they couldn’t be, y’know, “jazzed up” just a little bit. And we also pull back the curtain on how these teams and leaders operate, look at their day to day and see if we can’t steal a few ideas for our own operations. You’re more than welcome to listen in and steal a few ideas for yourself.
