23 Nov 2020
Laura Kendall, VP of Marketing at MadKudu, joined me on the Modern Startup Marketing podcast. We covered a lot, including: The team you need to set up in your company - the Customer Love & Community team; Who your first marketing hire should be (reporting into the Head of Marketing); How to ensure your brand is seen and heard in a noisy world, and especially during COVID; Narrow your focus on your specific target segment and pick 2-3 main growth levers; Using webinars effectively to engage with prospects; Personalization wins over automation, especially for follow-up; Transitioning jobs during COVID and how to make that process smooth; Using empathy during crisis (and beyond) to see your prospects as a whole person (not just employees). Laura is VP of Marketing at MadKudu (www.madkudu.com). MadKudu was founded in 2014 and is based out of Mountain View, CA with a total of 30 people. They've raised Series A funding ($5.5M). MadKudu is a lead scoring platform for marketing teams looking to create frictionless B2B customer journeys.
