You need to give them reasons to become avid evangelists for your brand.

In her time at DigitalOcean, CMO Carly Brantz has helped evolve this idea into a full-fledged brand awareness campaign, leading the charge on the heels of the company’s recent IPO with a rallying cry of “Get Growing.” Tune in to hear Carly talk about how DigitalOcean is making its commitment to growing alongside its customers real, making good on their brand promise in a tactical way that actually matters to their developer audience.

Ah, innovation. The buzzword of every company striving to be different, daring, and bold. But what the heck does it actually look like to innovate? And how can a CMO get their teams to start innovating in a way that actually yields growth (i.e., not just quirky ideas in brainstorming meetings)? Carla Johnson is the perfect person to walk us through her foolproof formula for innovation that moves the needle. She's a 10x author, and her most recent book RE:Think Innovation busts the myth that innovation requires any special degrees, training, or skills. The key takeaway from this interview is that innovation is a learned muscle, and Carla lays out the exercises every CMO can use to shape their own innovation powers AND build a team filled with strong innovators.
