11. Building a commercially focused B2B marketing team inside one of Australia’s first tech Startups

Darren Needham-Walker, Group Director Marketing and Communications at Technology One joins us in today’s podcast episode.

Darren is as passionate about technology as he is about marketing, having built a successful career in marketing roles for tech companies such as IBM, Panasonic, Lenovo, HP and most recently, TechnologyOne. 

In this episode we discuss:

  • What to do when you have to restructure two marketing teams into one due to a merger;
  • The importance of being human and bringing staff on the journey;
  • The importance of building the brand and achieving brand consistency;
  • How to include the customer in your marketing and becoming more customer-centric;
  • The importance of setting the right goals and measuring the right things to help the team become more commercially focused; 
  • Changing the conversation in the business about the impact that marketing has on organisational results;
  • How to increase the capability of a team around B2B marketing;
  • How to reorganise a team from a really flat structure to a new structure built around capability and workflow; and
  • Leadership strategies to empower your team, clear roadblocks, free up time and create a climate where staff are encouraged to move fast and innovate.

TechnologyOne is one of Australia’s first tech start-ups. It is a Global Saas ERP company that’s listed in the top ASX 150 companies in Australia with a market cap of nearly $3 billion.

Darren is a really energetic and passionate guest with great marketing and technology insight so it is definitely worth listening to this episode.
