Nothing works anymore: Smarter GTM in a downturn

Watch Jon Miller, Former Demandbase CMO, take the stage at the Elevate Summit

The marketing playbooks we’ve used for years just aren’t working anymore. Content led demand gen doesn’t work as well. Email doesn’t work. Pouring more money into Google doesn’t work. The fundamental problem with the existing playbooks is they suffer from Buyer Indifference — buyers are numb to all traditional tactics. And the economic downturn is only making it worse.

We need a new playbook for these times. We need a Smarter Go-To-Market (GTM). In this session, Jon Miller, Former CMO of Demandbase, former cofounder of Marketo and founder/CEO at Engagio, will show how you can get past buyer indifference by conditioning the market to your solution and engaging the right accounts at the right time with the right plays. And he’ll make you groan with some bad bad jokes as well.
