How Did You Really Break Into Marketing?

On the show today is Drew Beechler. Drew is the Head of Marketing at High Alpha, a venture capital firm where he works with all the incubator and venture portfolio companies.

I wanted to bring him on because Drew has a hand in launching 10+ B2B SaaS companies a year. He's got an amazing look at the inner workings of developing a SaaS brand from scratch.

You'll hear about the step-by-step process for developing new SaaS brands from scratch, how to appeal to enterprise companies even as a freshly minted startup, and how they leveraged original research for marketing at ExactTarget and Salesforce.
