When it comes to marketing supporting sales, Anthea shares:
"The relationship between Marketing and Sales is a collaboration. One is not in service to the other; but rather, is symbiotic and reliant on the other to meet the needs of customers as they research, evaluate, and select the best solution to solve their problems."
She also shares about how marketers can tap into the power of artificial intelligence:
"AI can help in terms of operational efficiencies and time and budget and resources. However, you still need resources to validate before you go out, you want to make sure that you are validating."
Anthea explains how she creates engagement using marketing:
"Identifying customer pain points and developing content, offers, and experiences that speak to those pain points are critical to driving engagement. In addition, measurement and insights will help inform what's working and where there are opportunities for improvement."
