Tim is a five-time CMO who has led marketing at a who's who of public and private security companies — including Exabeam, Imperva, PGP, RSA, and Symantec — scaling three past $100M and steering others that were already global. He's always exploring new marketing tech in search of competitive advantage and pipeline, and AEO is his latest deep dive. He's the author of The Professional Marketer and writes and speaks on the craft of marketing. As both a marketer and a golfer, he's still trying to figure out which is harder: crossing the chasm or a 200-yard carry over a water hazard.

Who Does the Work? Organizing Your Marketing Team for AEO
You know what AEO is and what it can do, and you've decided to start. Maybe you've even licensed a tool. But here's the question nobody puts on a slide: who's actually going to do the work? AEO looks like SEO's cousin, but it doesn't staff like one. It demands more content, in more places, and far more cross-functional collaboration than most teams plan for. This session draws on three companies that stood up real AEO programs: what they built, who they put on it, and what it returned. You'll learn: - The real workload an AEO program creates: creating for more surfaces and updating more often - The roles you need at the table, and the collaboration that makes or breaks the program - What three real programs produced, including the staffing models they used and the results they saw - The mistakes you can skip, drawn from lessons learned the hard way
