The startup marketing world is not a zero-sum game. Supporting each other as founders, marketers, and business leaders is more important than ever, and sharing our advice and experiences inside a trusted community is one of the best ways to elevate us all. I joined The StartUp Marketer because I wanted to be surrounded by peers who “get it.” The SUM community is a place where I belong. Where I can learn. Where I can grow. And I can do it all alongside people who are just as fired up as I am about making a lasting impact.
