MarTech Quote-of-the-Week!

There are several best practices that all marketing leaders should follow that can be broken down into two parts. The first, and larger part, is human resources. By this, I mean coaching, team-building, recruiting, and communicating. Cultivating an experienced, inspired team is the biggest driving force to success, efficiency, and alignment. The other is a leader’s ability to effectively plan, budget, and collaborate. These practices may seem like a given but they are truly vital to meeting your goals and creating strong results.

–Jake Athey, VP of Marketing and Sales at Widen

MarTech QnA with the Expert

Marketers are armed with a special balance of art and science.  We are creative and innovative.  We are data and evidence driven. We are great at listening, seeing patterns, and we’re also intuitive. Market dynamics and trends are the basic building blocks of every marketing plan – and for that matter, every business plan. This brings me back to the importance for marketing leaders to think, act, and lead like a business leader first and bring along with us the broad and deep spectrum of marketing competencies and acumen to capitalize on changing markets and trends. –Zarina Stanford, CMO at Bazaarvoice
