I think we all agree, 2020 was a difficult year. Between the concerns of the pandemic, juggling remote learning responsibilities, and mounting political tensions, it was enough to make anyone stressed. Providing ample support to your marketing operations team in 2021 may look a little different versus prior years. As a seasoned leader who’s had mor...
It’s that time of year...time to put on your visionary hat and cast your marketing predictions for 2021. Of course, this year is a little more challenging to predict, especially coming off a year like 2020. I don’t think anyone predicted a worldwide pandemic, murder hornets, violent riots, or that drive-in movie theaters would make a comeback. So w...
Call it our “new normal” or call it a time of opportunity, but the bottom line is 2020 has changed how we must operate.

Wouldn’t it be nice if campaigns always ran according to plan? Whether it’s the first time integrating a new component, navigating multiple layers of approvals, the sheer volume of campaigns running simultaneously, or unforeseen challenges from the effects of the pandemic, complexities add up quickly.

Today, shelter-in-place orders and work disruptions have become our new norm as conditions outside our control lead to social cancellations, remote work, hiring freezes, and
It’s a classic example of cause and effect— when major events occur, there is always an economic consequence. Global pandemics. Acts of terrorism. War. Natural disasters. History has shown, when one country experiences a significant event, it leads to some degree of economic downturn, often a global recession. COVID-19 is no exception. It’s only na
When I was an enterprise account executive for Marketo, I worked very closely with my customers. Many of them would ask for guidance on how to select the most appropriate marketing operations (MOPS) agency partner based on their needs. Additionally, I also had to help manage the fallout when my customers made a less-than-optimal agency selection. F
What a conference! Last week, I attended the MarTech West conference in sunny San Jose, California. Along with Cyndi Marty from Sub-Zero, we led a presentation on Sub-Zero’s journey toward decentralized marketing, the steps they’re taking to improve their scalability and how they’re empowering their regional marketers. In addition to speaking, I wa
This blog was first published on LinkedIn. “Should we decentralize our marketing operations or stay centralized?” That’s a common question I hear from clients and prospects wanting to scale their marketing operations. And at the core of what they really want to know is how they can deliver more campaigns, empower more marketers and do everything fa
