We've just launched a suite of B2B consulting and content services—called MarketingProfs DNA (Defensible Net Advantage)—that are aligned with core marketing disciplines: positioning and messaging, customer experience, and demand generation. They're especially designed for marketers who have strategic work to do but don't have the time or team to ensure success. See how we can help.
Are you a PRO subscriber? If so, have you joined our MarketingProfs PRO group on Facebook? Pop in so you gain access to the PRO Show with Ann Handley and Kerry O'Shea Gorgone. These fun livestreams include check-ins from MarketingProfs team members and drop-ins from special guests. March shows will include discussions about branding, so bring your questions and ideas to share! Check it out.
Our new Master Class is designed to help you understand your customers better than you ever have. Customer Journey Maps for Marketers launches on March 9 with Certified Customer Experience Professional (CCXP) Jeannie Walters at the helm. PRO members can complete the full Master Class by joining our watch parties with live Q&A—or take the individual 10 bite-sized lessons on-demand. Or a combination of the two.
