Industry Storytelling: Business Narratives that Resonate Recorded: Jun 28 2017 44 mins

Spencer Waldron, Prezi’s European Regional Director

The core job of today’s marketers is to build communities around the topics that people are passionate about. To know what matters to them, to engage them, and to help them feel part of these communities with powerful stories. And for many marketers, the gift of storytelling is a natural one.

Thankfully, everyone has the ability to tell stories that matter. It’s a skill that you can learn, polish, and adapt for your specific role and company.

On Wednesday, June 28th, join BrightTALK and Prezi’s European Regional Director, Spencer Waldron, to learn what it takes to keep your marketing efforts fresh, timely, and engaging. You'll also find out:

- How to turn user feedback, prospect needs, and industry trends into stories that stand out
- How to leverage the techniques and practices of renowned writers, speakers, and entertainers to develop more effective brand messaging
- Tricks and tips used by expert marketers to craft meaningful stories that will help you grow your user base

SDR's: A Marketer's Best Friend Recorded: Feb 16 2017 25 mins

James Brett, SDR EMEA Manager, BrightTALK

An ongoing discussion within most revenue-driven businesses is how to align the sales and marketing teams, potentially the biggest opportunity for improving business performance today. The key to creating this synergy is the effective use of a Sales Development Team (SDRs), who qualify marketing-generated leads and deliver them to the Account Executives.

The SDRs are often the first point of contact for the business so they need to know the right messages, ways to overcome objections, and enough information about the product and the market to sound plausible on the phone. Many of these things aren’t really the domain of the sales organisation, so this is where it falls on Marketing to give the proper amount of sales enablement.

Join James Brett, BrightTALK's SDR EMEA Manager, as he discusses aligning the SDR team and Marketing to work towards a common vision and working together to keep the relationship successful.
