Revenue Data Defends What Marketing Does | Brandee Sanders, VP of Growth
Revenue data defends what marketing does. | Brandee Sanders, VP of Growth, Observe.ai
In our first episode back, Ellen Schwartze (Sr. Director, Demand Gen) interviews Brandee Sanders, Vice President of Growth at Observe.ai. Brandee has connected her marketing programs to revenue data for years, moving beyond MQLs and “Mad Men” creative to tie initiatives to ROI and revenue in order to prove the value of her team and the business. Using data to defend what marketing is doing is a sound strategy during budget cuts, economic slowdowns, or simply assessing which campaigns are really working. It’s a theme we’ve anchored into this season, and one that should set the tone for any mature marketing team.
