A conversation with Amanda Natividad.

In this episode I am joined by Amanda Natividad, VP of marketing for SparkToro, a SaaS marketing company that helps people do audience research, or find out what content their audience is consuming and where they spend time online.

Amanda has a long and storied career in marketing recently heading up B2B content marketing at Fitbit along with a number of senior tech marketing roles and recently launching a course - Content Marketing 201 (https://maven.com/amandanat/content-marketing), that helps marketers take their content to the next level. Amanda also used to work in tech journalism and was a test kitchen cook!

In this episode we talked about Amanda's journey into content marketing and becoming the VP of marketing at SparkToro, how SparkToro works like a team of 10 with just 3 employees, and as well as their approach to Big Tech. We also discuss building a Twitter audience, using zero-click content as a part of content strategy, and whether it is good or not that some tech companies punish the use of links.

Listen on Apple, Spotify, Google, and everywhere else.

You can find Amanda on Twitter, LinkedIn, or her site.
