Episode Synopsis
Featuring Lizzy Knights Ward
Lizzy leads the Content & Social team for LinkedIn Sales & Marketing Solutions, EMEA and LATAM. She once built a following on Google+ and has strong views on marketing and sales alignment.
In this episode we discuss:
1. Life at LinkedIn
2. Content marketing and successful campaigns
3. Content marketing in B2B (why it’s not all boring to boring)
4. Marketers declaring things dead (and why they’re wrong) including me declaring LinkedIn dead once and getting that waaaaaaay wrong.
5. TOPTIPS for getting the most out of LinkedIn
6. Tips for people looking for a career in tech marketing
7. The joys of Google+ (RIP)
8. Being a singer-songwriter
9. Sales and marketing alignment – why it sucks and what we can do about it
10. Account Based Marketing (ABM) and why it works
Digital Marketing Strategy Course
I’ve also launched a Digital Marketing Strategy course with the university of Vaasa in Finland. It’s taught entirely online and in English, so you can learn at your own pace.
By following the course you’ll build a marketing strategy for your organisation and be ready to implement it once you’ve finished.
It’s academically developed, but intensely practical and shares a method I’ve used with over 100 clients in various sectors.
