Must Contain Podcast: The Podcast for Marketing Misanthropes

Join Marketing Ops Nerds, Kristin Crowe (OGK), and Kristin Carideo (KAC) to break down a marketing or corporate buzzword, hot topic, or anything else Etumos clients are talking about. They’ll investigate what that concept actually means – sometimes amongst themselves, and occasionally with a resident “expert.” Got a topic you want to hear us cover? Pitch us!

If you are known as incredulous and are a self-proclaimed skeptic when it comes to the latest marketing jargon–then you have found your people. Welcome.

Meet Your Hosts

Kristin Crowe

Known as OGK, she is the Etumos Platform Operations Director and a Marketo Certified Solutions Architect with over ten years of marketing experience. OGK is passionate about helping marketers work smarter, not harder. OGK is a perpetual morning person and coffee connoisseur–leaving her plenty of time in the day for world domination.

 

Kristin Carideo

A self-designated skeptic of trendy marketing jargon, Kristin Carideo (KAC) is the VP of Revenue and Client Results here at Etumos. KAC brings 14 years of marketing experience and six years leading a global marketing ops org to the role. She works tirelessly to ensure Etumos’ clients get the most out of their engagement. When she isn’t raising an eyebrow at words like “synergy,” she’s usually baking or basking in the California sunshine.

 

Season 1

In this final episode of season 1, KAC joins OGK and guest host, Rusty Hall to talk capital-F Funnel. Not the beer funnel you might have been familiar with in college, but the visual funnel representation of the buyer’s journey. Spoiler alert: she hates it. But there’s good reason and you definitely want to hear it.
