Druva CMO Ash Parikh and Vinay Bhagat, TrustRadius’ Founder and CEO, discuss how Druva’s team has successfully shifted their marketing and sales strategies to reach and meet modern-day buyers, exactly where they are. They discuss the post-pandemic market shifts that Ash has seen first-hand, along with actionable steps that Druva has taken to adapt to these new behaviors.
Topics include:
- How shifting from an “vendor-centric” to “buyer-centric” mindset is successfully transforming Druva’s GTM strategy
- How Druva’s demand generation campaigns adapted to today’s buyer preferences
- How intent data helps Druva send contextual content or “hot nurtures,” based on buyer stage and engagement, and in a timely manner
