As VP of Strategic Marketing at VitalPath, Bridget spent her career building B2B MedTech brands from the ground up. Her take is refreshingly direct: your brand is the experience customers consistently have with you. Not your tagline or your campaign, but the experience.
In episode 116 of A Brave New Podcast, Josh Dougherty and Bridget Locke break down:

• How she structured sales and marketing alignment at VitalPath (including why sales ops reports to her)

• Why she jokes that the marketing rule of seven has become the marketing rule of 700
