On this episode I had the pleasure of talking with Femi Olajiga, Agile Marketing Coach at CX Conversion and author of Lean Agile Marketing.
Femi started his career in IT as a Network Engineer at Cisco and eventually made his way into digital marketing as a digital and conversion rate optimization analyst, eventually finding his way into Agile. After holding several positions across those disciplines, Femi decided to start his own practice at CX Conversion where he consults on various Agile and Digital Marketing services.
Femi is here today to talk with us about Agile Marketing, share his experiences, and provide us with a good primer on the subject. We begin our conversation talking about some of the different flavors of Agile and how Femi has seen Marketing teams adopt them into their processes. We then talk about some of the challenges that come with adopting an Agile framework into businesses and we move onto some of the more granular details like cross-functional teams, skill sets, and tips for individuals looking to make improvements to their marketing function.
