If you’re a solution marketer today, there’s a good chance that you are, or will be, using agile marketing.  Read on to learn more.

Last night I attended a great event at the Boston Product Management Association, The Marketing Plan is Dead, by Jon Gatrell of Pragmatic Marketing.  For some companies, agile marketing is replacing the traditional waterfall marketing plan. Problem is, agile marketing is a “newish” discipline, so many attendees were left wondering what to do next.  Where can you learn more?  What companies are successfully using agile marketing today?

To answer that challenge, following is a very short list of my favorite resources:

• Creating an Agile, Data-Driven Marketing Team – A must-watch presentation by Ellie Mirman, VP of Marketing at Toast, formerly of HubSpot – one of the best presentations on how to do agile marketing, period
• Boston Agile Marketing Group (meetup) – Meets once each month and is led by some of the top experts on agile
  (disclosure: I help run this group)
