Listen "208: Building a Marketing-Driven B2B Organization"
Episode Synopsis
"So, a brand walks into a bar…What drink does it order?" And no, it's not the start of a joke, instead, it's a question that CMO Paz Macdonald asks when thinking about brand. When she joined Software AG in 2019, it was clear that the 50-year-old enterprise software company's brand needed a massive overhaul—they had a great reputation but poor brand awareness. It was time to stop being the brand that would order a still water at the bar, and instead order a sensible, inviting cocktail with the confidence of a globally recognized brand that knew it was making a difference. In this episode, Paz shares the story behind Software AG's rebrand, and how a comprehensive brand audit, a completely new website, and an inspiring "living connections" message has built a well-oiled, marketing-driven organization. She also discusses B2B rebranding best practices with full transparency, like how much to involve employees, why companies should seriously consider using an outside marketing firm, and more.
