The Platform Marketer™ embodies the collective competencies
needed to successfully exploit the addressable funnel opportunity
Marketers must evaluate their own
competency level and decide how best to fill
gaps internally and with external expertise
In the highly digitized world of AAS, a
new set of competencies must be
attained by the marketer
We call the personification of those
collective skills The Platform Marketer
While new processes, data, and
technologies must be implemented,
these digital platform competencies
must first be addressed
