Picture this:
You’re the new marketing lead at a SaaS brand.
Or you’re leading a marketing campaign transition.
Maybe you’re taking over at an agency with a growing client list.
How long would it take for you to grasp the brand vision for that organization? Or their content marketing engine? Or how this engine plays into their overall goals?
A few months? A quarter? Longer?
With the rate of SaaS innovation showing no signs of slowing, you can’t afford to take this much time. Lead marketers now have the seemingly impossible task of monitoring the tech industry for opportunities to optimize marketing spend. Here’s Forbes Agency Council member Tellef Lundevall on the critical nature of staying up-to-date:
“The biggest challenge is staying ahead of the pace of change. While Google and the social networks constantly tweak their ad offerings and platform functionality, user preferences also shift fast. You need to be in tune not just with how you’re able to reach potential customers but also how customers want to be reached. Being an expert on just one or the other will mean you get left behind.”
So, not only do you need to produce quality content to meet demand, but you also need to keep your team up to date. This means educating them on the latest trends around SEO, content marketing, social media, web design, CRO, performance marketing, and tons of other sub-specialties.
Basically, you have 3 key responsibilities:
- Market— Overseeing the creation, distribution, and performance of content assets
- Research — Monitoring the industry for emerging trends and opportunities
- Educate — Ensuring that your team has access to up–to–date information
As an experienced marketer, you’re quite comfortable with the first two. But the third one is novel and daunting. After all, there’s barely enough time to catch yourself up to speed, let alone train an entire department.
With Foundation Labs Inner Circle, we take the education piece off your plate.

Help Your Team Maximize the Opportunity in the Downturn
All this doom and gloom about the recession is clouding C-suite judgment. Many SaaS executives don’t see this changing economic landscape for what it really is:
An opportunity.
Companies that navigated the ‘08 crash with a balanced strategic investment and cost-reduction strategy came roaring out of the recession. The SaaS industry is currently in a similar window of opportunity.
As a head marketer, this means one thing:
Ensure your team has the skills and knowledge to identify your top channels and hit them hard.
But there’s simply not enough time (or budget) for you to constantly train your team on the latest insights. You need answers quickly.
