Excited to kickoff my next adventure as Senior Director, Demand Generation at Zenput! There were not many companies I was willing to leave LinkedIn for, but this company checked all the boxes.

As the new CMO of RLY Network Association, the first ask I took was: Market Research. I first surveyed the landscape documenting and detailing down insights about what competitors are doing, influencers, and of course, customers, in our case, web developers. I scored, sorted, prioritized and wrote down where the industry was, and presented the "state of" to the C-suite. Aligning this to the business goals, the roadmap literally fell right out that process, making it very clear on where I needed to head, and in what order. The insight isn't a new one, it's "look before you leap". Now, to execute, I can't wait to onboard web developers onto our product, RLY Protocol.

If you aren’t using data to inform your content strategy, what are you using? Gut feeling, testing, and / or creative epiphany should drive no more than 25% of your content efforts. The rest should be driven by understanding what content is resulting in conversions, assisted conversions, traffic from search and social, and what your audiences are looking for online in relation to your business offering.
Jolina is a TopRank alumni and has been featured numerous times on our blog.
Josh Spilker has taken a new position as Director of Content, at Range.

In B2B the stakes are higher, the decisions more complex, and outcomes less certain. And this means trust reigns supreme. When stakes are high, the decisions complex, and outcomes uncertain, trust is paramount. Brand is trust at scale. And it's a different world when you are truly trusted.

(Source) That’s good to see, and I think it speaks to something I wrote about here a few weeks ago: the resilience and adaptability of human beings. We make the best: embrace the good, and find ways to mitigate the bad. Of course, a marketer’s aspiration is not just to adapt, but to keep innovating and pushing the envelope while doing so. Achieving greater collaboration, productivity, and – most simply – enjoyment out of virtual meetings can make a big difference in the success of a team. With this in mind, here are some tips to conduct better virtual meetings and keep Zoom fatigue from creeping in.
