As you approach IPO and very late stage, that often goes down. And if they join earlier, sometimes it’s more, as more dilution is coming.

Good morning, Marketers, and here’s why communication governance is important. The quote from Kaitlyn Foley below leaped out at me from an extensive LinkedIn thread that began with the observation that getting a customer’s contact information is not the be-all and end-all. Of course, policing the cadence of emails is nothing new. Keeping a calendar and ensuring that the same lists aren’t blasted daily is the least an operations team can do.

Marketing is often treated as an ancillary activity of the organization when it should be the primary activity.
