In this episode of B2B Nation, we take a look at the B2B marketing playbook as it existed before the COVID-19 pandemic and ask the question, “Is it time to re-think any of this moving forward?”
Our search for a guest who could help us answer that question led us to none other than Gaetano DiNardi, head of growth and demand generation at business communications provider Nextiva. If you’re familiar with Gaetano’s social media posts, you know he’s not afraid to speak his mind and to share thoughts that run counter to the conventional wisdom.
