The Role of Marketing in Driving Revenue with Christine Schaefer - FiredUp! Podcast

In this episode of the FiredUp! podcast, Christine Schaefer explains the importance of taking an outcome-driven approach to your marketing efforts and actionable steps you can take right now to find the balance between art and science, incorporating creativity while collecting measurable data.

_Christine Schaefer’s data-driven, scientific method for her work has helped her lead go-to-market efforts for tech companies for over 25 years. Her marketing, sales, product management, customer education, and operations led her to be instrumental in the phenomenal growth of multiple well-respected start-ups, including BlackCloak and ThreatConnect. Christine has been recognized with awards like the Women in Technology Leadership Award, but she is most proud of the recognition from former team members._

Christine, Morgan, and Ian discuss:

  • - Startups should take an outcome-driven approach to marketing, using hypotheses and measurable metrics to determine the success of their efforts. 
    • - Take a holistic approach to your brand and understand that it’s not just a logo; it’s everything you do with customers, and it is everyone’s responsibility to uphold it.  - Adopt MarTech tools slowly after running experiments and understanding which tools are suitable for the company’s needs.  - Marketing should focus on the customer, not the company, and be authentic in the messaging.  - Understanding the reason behind an acquisition will help guide branding decisions moving forward.
