2019-12-02 [CNTT - MARCOMM] - Agenda & Meeting Minutes
Attendees
Agenda
Messaging:
Messaging planning deck from @speedwyre
Planning interviews with target audience
Workstream for creating messaging
Need to target awareness of OVP Compliance Tests – @speedwyre will ask Rick about it and send Nick update
From the governance call:
Marketing discussion; need to get idea of what CNTT messaging needs to be to business decision makers who are ultimately deciding on adoption.
e.g. Starts with Technical arm, moves way up to VP
VP typically will sponsor business case
VP typically will want to want to know benefits, set of data point to say why beneficial to company
...typically will also go to Financial approval arm of company
Marketing would like to interview business leads to get a sense of what they are thinking.
@Mark Cottrell recommendations
AI - ask members to host the call with the business decision maker with Marketing workstream. This is major ask.
AI - could also ask members to collect feedback if unable to get an interview.
Promotion:
