  • Some common thorns that the board faced included managing work from home life, navigating budget and headcount cuts, the absence of face to face marketing, starting new roles during the pandemic, lack of connection with team members.

Industry Trends + Uberflip Highlights + Customer Highlights 2019-2020

  • Time to Scale: Companies are starting to come out of conversation mode and aggressively increase headcount and budgets
  • Speed Wins: Those companies first to market will more often than not capture the most mindshare and maximize their opportunity potential
  • Enable Sales: Marketing’s responsibility is about empowering sales to continue the conversation in a seamless and personalized way
  • Prime Time ABM: ABM is no longer an experimental strategy, technology is allowing us to be hyper targeted with little extra effort
  • Retention and Expansion: Demand and content marketers are being asked to support retention and expansion efforts more than ever before
  • Unified Journey: Marketers are prioritizing technology, hiring and processes on building the ultimate customer journey
  • Customer Experience: identify data, attract through channels and engage your audience! Pain points: speed to market, personalization at scale, empowering sales - Mike reviews how we can tackle these challenges with Uberflip.

Poll: Which of these pain points resonates with you the most? See results here.

  • Randy opens the floor about defining personalization at scale and the pains that people experience with this:
  • Jacqui Fleming: Personalization at scale means how we’re automating that process, automating audience generating and getting the content out to them. Identifying which content matches which account can become quite manual.
  • Stephanie Safi: Personalization = creating content specifically for 1:1 accounts and personalization at scale. The messaging around the content, meaning you really need to research and understand the challenges for accounts and how your value propositions actually relate to their needs. Hyper-personalization beyond just a logo or name, etc.
  • Dan Lowden: having that really good content where someone thinks that every time a company reaches out to them, they see value
  • Lucy Gillard: We have a lot of content, the data side is very tough with strict policies, so we don’t have a lot of data that other companies do. The stricter that data policies get the harder it is to personalize.
  • Justin Keller: Sales understanding and utilizing all of marketing’s content in an efficient way is tough.
  • Randy: How do your sales people access your content? > Sharepoint, Google Drive, HighSpot, Seismic, endless Slack messages
  • Randy: Who owns the organization of this content? Is it more on marketing or sales? > Mostly Marketing, some teams where Sales owns

UES Overview & Success Stories Operational Efficiency

  • Save time, elevate accuracy and enhance reporting via Audience Segmentation, Identifying Tags, Auditing Content and Configuring Automations
  • Training/Education: Continued education on the marketing tactics and methodologies that support organizational goals and processes.
  • Technical Configuration: Guidance and assistance building a sound content experience foundation and campaign construction.
  • Strategic Planning: Support overall marketing strategy to drive pipeline and increase content engagement.
  • Case study: Without clear alignment between content and segments, some assets were missing from critical locations, other assets were incorrectly placed, and in general reporting content topics was cumbersome. There was an operational lag. UES helped segment audiences, audit content and assign tags. Then, Smart Filters were configured to drive operational efficiency.

Poll: How many members are there on your marketing team? See results here.

  • Randy opens the floor with the question: What percentage of your marketing team regularly logs in to Uberflip?
