Bryony Thomas: Bridging the Gap Between Business Strategy & Marketing Operations

Any organisation that scales will find marketing becomes more challenging. What gets you off the ground is probably not what will sustain your growth. Ensuring that marketing evolves in step with your business requirements is a critical and difficult piece of the growth puzzle.

Leave this session with a core organising framework for understanding, assessing sequencing and balancing the focus in your business on the strategic and operational aspects of marketing. This will give you a common language to bring your whole team on board with the marketing investments and energy needed across the business to build a truly sustainable, scalable – and ultimately saleable – software business.
