Ep. 130 - Building and Leveraging Communities for SaaS B2B Success - with Kathleen Booth, SVP of Marketing and Growth at Pavilion

A community can be a "cheat code" for rapid learning and career advancement, and this week’s guest knows that better than most.

In this episode, we had the pleasure of speaking with Kathleen Booth, SVP of Marketing and Growth at Pavilion, the world's largest private community for go-to-market leaders. 

Our conversation explores the concept of community-led growth and how Pavilion encourages this by providing a platform for members to grow their network, sharpen their skills, and develop lifelong connections. 

Overall, Kathleen provides valuable insights into the intersection of community, social media, and growth strategies for SaaS companies. 

Key takeaways from this episode:

• The importance of community-led growth for SaaS companies and strategies for leveraging communities to drive growth and engagement
• How CEOs and marketing leaders can use social media to build relationships, drive pipeline, and engage with prospects
• The challenges executives face in prioritizing social media efforts and the need to shift from viewing social media as a "nice to have" to a "must have" for business growth

This episode is ideal for SaaS CEOs, CMOs, and marketing professionals looking to leverage community-led growth strategies, enhance their LinkedIn presence, and drive pipeline through organic and personalized outreach.
