Cisco Marketing Velocity

Empowering our partners to become future ready is fundamental to their success. As a Marketing organization, we strive to support, enable, and lead our partners to growth.

I am so proud to say that after the award-winning success of our customer advocacy platform called The Cisco Gateway, we are very proud to introduce our new digital marketing community built specifically for our partner marketers: Marketing Velocity Voice.

Marketing Velocity Voice is reimagining the way partner marketers interact with each other and with us - every day. It is a digital partner marketing community where partners can network and connect, elevate their marketing practices, and accelerate demand generation.

With this in mind, we partnered with two industry experts to share insights on the future of B2B marketing, changes in the customer journey, and the subsequent impact on the partner ecosystem. These sessions are part of Marketing Velocity Learning, a robust curriculum designed specifically to enrich your marketing practices and drive demand.

For companies to win in this digitalized era, they need to transform their marketing strategies. Armed with marketing approaches that are future-proofed and modernized, businesses will be in a much stronger position to stay relevant to customers who are themselves contending with disruptive market forces.
