The Product Marketing Experts | Building a Customer-Centric Narrative with Alex Gammelgard, Sr. Director Go-To-Market Strategy at ActiveCampaign

Since Alex joined ActiveCampaign as their Senior Director of Go-To-Market, the hypergrowth company has gained 50,000 new customers. At this point, the product story they told their early adopters will not resonate with this new, late-stage majority in the same way. Like any company, even if the product hasn’t changed, the messaging needs to evolve as the customer base evolves. In this episode, Alex will break down how they’ve adapted their customer-centric narrative to keep up with and fuel their continued growth.
