Three Ways Data Can Improve Your ABM Strategy

Three Ways Data Can Improve Your ABM Strategy

Guest post by Krysta Williams.

Since its emergence, account-based marketing (ABM) has become the go-to strategy among B2B marketers- and for good reason. ABM produces more qualified leads, which in turn improves internal alignment and increases revenue, making this approach a no-brainer.

Although new tools and technologieshave made ABM easier than ever, there is one major obstacle that prevents…

(mis)representation and working while Native” Build your knowledge about how to screen, prepare and facilitate requests for representation at events, workshops, panel discussions and more. Lots of community and non-native organizations ask us for one-off moments of 'representation' of 'marginalized' identities and sometimes we just need to get paid. So how can we manage these requests while staying true to our whole selves? This workshop is for 2spirit and Native community members who want to learn or share skills about what its like working within non-profits, social services, and arts organizations to create a network of support that will continue beyond this workshop. This workshop will be facilitated by Tities Wîcinímintôwak collective member, Krysta Williams. Lunch provided by Nish Dish Marketeria and Catering and followed by: “Building Your Writing Practice” This workshop will provide basic tools and methods to support the development of your individual writing practice. Learn strategies for building positive habits and patterns to allow you to improve your writing skills, expand your literary portfolio, and enhance your daily reading to gain the skills to improve as a writer. To get the most out of this workshop, please bring a short sample (under 400 words) of your writing with you, don't worry you don't have to share with others if you don't want to! We will also have available some writing samples for you to chose from. This workshop will be facilitated by Giles Benaway, who recently published a collection of poetry “Ceremonies for the dead”.

The 2Spirit Skillshare is a project of Tities Wîcinímintôwak // Bluejays Dancing Together Arts Collective. It is an art workshop series for Two-Spirit people and their communities in Toronto. These information and skills-sharing workshops are intended to strengthen and build relationships in our communities by sharing space, food and diverse creative processes.

Through art workshops our Indigenous gender and sexuality complex communities come together, actively challenging colonial gender and sexuality binaries, and encouraging each other to grow into our whole selves. facebook :: www.facebook.com/spiritskills tumblr :: www.2spiritskillshare.tumblr.com contact us: 2spiritskillshare <at> gmail.com

I personally struggle a lot with my love/hate relationships with language. I personally love words in general, but have a lot of problems with English despite the fact that it is my first language. It seems so arbitrary and subjective. It also does not allow me to express the very distinct and varying terms of reference that we have as Aboriginal people. So when I say 'traditional', I am talking about teachings and stuff I have learned from Elders and teachers in my life. But even then, who gets to define 'traditional'? Where does it start or end? Our cultures are alive, adapting and changing everyday. When I talk about being 'socially progressive' or 'radical' it can mean many things . Sometimes it's a tongue-in-cheek way of poking fun at the ways mainstream culture tries to be different or better. Gender equality may be a 'radical' concept to some people, but to me, it is tradition. Having a 'traditional' wedding could mean very different things depending on who you are talking to. So to me, being traditional IS radical and having dialogue about difficult things IS radical, because it goes against every push from the system to be a quiet, stoic 'Indian'.
