Brand to Demand: Fueling Growth in Tough Times
Tom Wentworth, Chief Marketing Officer at Recorded Future
Let’s face it: it’s tough out there. Marketers are being asked to do more, with less budget and fewer resources. The first budget casualty is almost always brand marketing, viewed as a luxury that can be trimmed when budgets tighten. And cutting brand investments is a terrible mistake.
In this presentation, Tom Wentworth, the CMO at Recorded Future, will dispel this misconception and illustrate the profound importance of brand marketing for driving growth. Tom will share actionable, budget-friendly strategies to bolster your brand without needing a Superbowl ad or a Formula 1 sponsorship.

Seth, Gar, and Ryan will share their top-performing playbooks to generate and protect revenue this year, especially in light of the shift in focus to retention and expansion. By the end of this session, you’ll walk away with trends of how cybersecurity buyers are purchasing this year and how relationships and buyers have become a new source of pipeline.
