Project History

Account-based Marketing (ABM) Framework

https://www.airtable.com/universe/expturpVNR8xfyplr/account-based-marketing-programs

Defined and scaled an account-based marketing (ABM) framework that helped marketing teams visualize all the different pieces that make up a marketing plan.

The template serves as a content library and an integrated campaign tracker, linking audiences to the corresponding content and campaign. I have used variations of this template with multiple companies, and the positive results were immediate; all the teams and stakeholders involved in marketing processes were able to execute their tasks with a clear understanding of their contributions.

B2B Go-to-market Template

https://drive.google.com/file/d/1qI_9SgvJ81GXxbPMFGYnMPTHtrI_kepS/view?usp=sharing

Built a high-level template for developing go-to-market strategies, plans, and budget allocations for new tech products.

The template outlines essential elements for crafting a successful go-to-market strategy, including details on target audience, messaging, execution, budget, and projected results, ensuring a comprehensive and effective plan.

Industry Webinar Series

Launched a webinar series for Yakabod featuring information security experts that drove over 500 attendees and resulted in a significant revenue pipeline.

Yakabod offers insider threat management software. Since it's a niche product, we needed to convey its benefits clearly and educate the market. We did this by producing and promoting webinars held by security consultants and experts. In addition, we created the marketing operations and reporting in HubSpot.
