Our purpose as a Marketing team is to facilitate this goal by growing UpGuard with a repeatable and scalable marketing engine and a leading brand.

Leverage firmographic, technographic, and intent data to guide targeting and personalization. Partner closely with Business Development, Sales, and Revenue Operations to align campaigns with strategic accounts and buying committees.
  • Harness AI and Workflow Automation: Use large language models to streamline content creation and platforms like n8n to automate workflows and campaign triggers. Enable rapid experimentation and improve operational efficiency.
  • Align Globally, Execute Locally: Adapt campaign tactics based on regional buyer behavior and channel performance. Adjust strategies for each geography to maximize effectiveness, whether through calls, emails, or in-person engagement.
  • Optimize Campaign Performance: Monitor and analyze key funnel metrics to assess campaign impact. Use attribution insights to improve conversion rates, accelerate pipeline velocity, and expand on high-performing initiatives.
  • Enable Sales Collaboration: Collaborate closely with Business Development and Sales to deliver timely lead insights, relevant campaign content, and coordinated follow-up plays. Ensure marketing efforts directly support revenue outcomes.
