I've just launched a new YouTube channel!! The concept? I take real businesses struggling to stand the f*ck out, provide my positioning/branding/lead gen help, and record it all for YouTube. The first mini-series features three freelance marketers (copywriter Rob, ecommerce designer Laura, and non-fiction book coach Vicky).I hope you'll set aside half an hour to watch it through. Maybe with your morning coffee? Or lunch break? Or evening onion soup? And then, the usual "Subscribe, Like, Share" would go a long, long way too.https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdNXaHHVnVntg5gpveB-5_Q***How to build a marketing team for growth, the non-sleazy way?Today we tackle how to jumpstart your marketing team with growth expert Ferdinand Goetzen.He's a speaker, blogger, and the Head of Growth at Recruitee, a SaaS company for recruitment software.I invited Ferdinand to the show to chat about how to build a phenomenal marketing team.
