ITSMA Marketing Excellence Awards 2023

On Tuesday night this week my team received a well earned Marketing Excellence award from ITSMA – it was a Gold award for Strengthening Executive Engagement! This was for a program that Emily Curley on the team came up with called ‘Meet the Bankers’. The idea was to promote a roster of former bankers to senior executives to meet with. These “bankers” had been in their role but now work for Red Hat. Not a sales call but more of a peer to peer call about their day to day challenges. The idea worked so well it beat our expectations for almost 2 years! Congratulations to the amazing team of Emily Curley, Kelly Gutierrez, Julie Gacnik, Laney Badulis as well as 30 Red Hat Bankers.
