CI and PMM efforts can get misdirected, focusing on minor details at the expense of the bigger picture. This can lead to missed opportunities and ineffective marketing campaigns. This session is your chance to refocus! We'll explore how to forge a successful CI-PMM partnership that drives results. We'll delve into real-life examples of how CI fuels impactful marketing campaigns, and uncover common pitfalls to avoid. Join us and unlock the true potential of your CI and PMM teams!
