So let me tell you a story … Once upon a time, customers wanted content. So, marketing produced it.
As new ways to reach customers emerged, marketers kept creating more and more content. They also started growing their teams and adding technology to help drive engagement.
But in all the excitement, we forgot why we started making content in the first place: for our customers. We knew the messages we worked so hard to build were getting lost in the chaos, but we didn't know another way.
Finally, our customer said, "Enough! You're confusing me!"
With that, Kapost was born. Kapost unites revenue teams to speak in one voice across the entire customer journey.
