The Eight Pillars of Demand Generation for Revenue Acceleration
Tuesday Mar 11, 2014
Tuesday Mar 11, 2014
SLMA Radio Host Jim Obermayer interviews agency founder, president and author Russell Kern about is his up-coming book, The Eight Pillars of Demand Generation for Revenue Acceleration. In this interview Russell tackles the reasons for developing the Eight Pillars of demand generation and revenue acceleration. We will discuss how and why Russell ties revenue to demand generation. The "R Word" is finally coming into its own for marketers and as usual Kern is ahead of the herd in predicting how to get there. Russell KernPresident/FounderWhether he's putting together a strategic marketing plan or speed-walking around the office, greeting every employee who crosses his path, Russell is the heart and soul of KERN. He launched the agency in 1991 and has been helping clients such as DIRECTV, CLEAR, SAP and Symantec, achieve astounding results ever since. In fact, for Russell, moving the needle for companies is much more than a business objective, it's a true passion. He often cites the core principles of the founding "masters" of direct marketing. After growing his agency into a response-generating machine, speaking at direct marketing events around the country and authoring the book S.U.R.E.-Fire Direct Response Marketing, it's safe to say Russell has become quite the master himself.
