Head of Digital and SMB Demand Generation
OK first let’s take the traditional demand generation playbook and throw it right out the window.
There. Much better.
Now if that didn’t send you running, then we might just be onto something here…
See Drift is the world’s first and only conversational marketing and sales platform. And that means that we’re re-writing the playbook for marketers all around the world. So we’re looking for a marketer who can generate leads with an entirely new playbook -- a playbook that doesn’t use landing pages, lead forms, gated content, MQLs, or SQLs.
