Growth through partnerships, with Kat O'Brien (CPO @ ClimateTrade)
We're excited to share this episode with you in which we talk to Kat O'Brien (Chief Partnerships Officer at ClimateTrade) about all things partnerships.
Kat has been operating in the partnerships and marketing sector of both startups and corporates in the last years - as a matter of fact, we met when she was CMO at Polaroo, a former client of MarsBased - and, to be honest, we have never discussed this topic on this podcast.
We've had our share of failed partnerships over the years because, quite frankly, we suck at partnerships. If we had met Kat before, we wouldn't have been so terrible at partnering with other companies.
We discuss KPIs for the partnerships, paid vs. free partnerships, who should spearhead these initiatives, reporting, selling to enterprise, finding the right key people to sign contracts... and more!
