February 22nd town hall topic is “Can You Recession-Proof Marketing Operations?“
We are in the midst of a recession and mass layoffs. For people who are still employed, they have to deal with budget cuts and fewer headcount. Targets are likely still aggressive – how do you “do more with less”?
Some discussion questions:– What kind of information should you be ready to provide when your C-level knocks on your door?– How do you say “no” if you are not a VP-level?– Is it worth doing any strategic planning for 2 or 5 years down the road?– How can you keep a “play to win” vs. “play not to lose” attitude?– What are considered “high priority” projects for your department right now?– How have you reduced or changed the makeup of your martech stack?

Over the last few years, the marketing Chief of Staff (CoS) role has become more prevalent, both in B2B and B2C companies. And there’s good reason for it.
As part of Uptempo's Marketing Acceleration series, our CMO Jim Williams sat down with Scott Brinker, editor at chiefmartec and VP of Platform Ecosystem at Hubspot. They discuss the explosion of martech over the last 10 years and what's been missed: the digitization of the business of marketing itself.
