Got a great AI focused customer story published that took months of development and pestering for final client edits! ๐ŸŽ‰

I'm exploring this now with our team, but I used to do them in my past role at Influitive for advocacy program launches: [https://www.linkedin.com/posts/influitive_hats-off-to-lauren-turner-and-the-entire-ac[โ€ฆ]720898420736-9pbF?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop](https://www.linkedin.com/posts/influitive_hats-off-to-lauren-turner-and-the-entire-activity-7136345720898420736-9pbF?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop)

I've done similar messaging as Emily shared above. In my situations it's often our own sales rep who flagged the alarm bells for needing a reference and then puts it on hold for various reasons (e.g., client doesn't need it anymore, deal has been pushed out, etc.).

The crossed paws is all for posture but I like to think it's also to distinguish some class ๐Ÿ˜œ

This is Mia, my 4.5 year old German Shepherd/Lab mix and best office coworker ๐Ÿฉท

Just a heads up if you're an active VIP poster/lurker, Influitive has turned on post moderation so any new discussion topic will need to be approved by their Admin. They've also deleted a ton of posts that mentioned product issues/deficiencies or the future of the company. Good chance if anything you ask could be seen as _negative_ in any respect, it won't be allowed on the platform anymore. As a former program admin for Influitive VIP, I'm really disheartened to see that.

Would imagine there are no new episodes anymore but Influitive's All About the Customer podcast has quite a few good CMA-focused episodes ๐Ÿ™‚.

I believe Skyvera is part of Trilogy, in the same way that Jigsaw and Aurea are. It's a strange set up

Hey there! Thought it would be a good time to re-introduce myself as I'm officially _out_ of the CMA vendor space ๐Ÿ‘€ ๐ŸŒŽ Location: Toronto, Canada ๐Ÿšจ Work: Just started earlier this month as Sr. Customer Advocacy & Engagement Specialist at Informatica ๐Ÿ’ป Marketing experience: B2B SaaS marketing and mostly CMA-focused. Worked at Influitive for 3+ years in customer advocacy, content, PR & social (was part of their layoffs). ๐Ÿ˜† Free time and fun?!: I'm a huge ๐Ÿ€ fan (specifically the Toronto Raptors), a big traveller, but am also out and about lots with my husband and 4-year old German Shepherd/Lab mix. ๐Ÿ“ฃ Connect with me on [LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/in/meyermelissa/)! I love to talk shop and share advice/experience from my years in CMA.

Happy to chime in! A few learnings from running Influitive's BAMMIE awards: โ€ข Plan for a soft and hard deadline for applications โ€“ give yourself the flexibility early as you'll often have many applicants ask for a little extra time. โ€ข Include word count limits โ€“ not all applications will be created equally so asking for brevity ensures a more level playing field. โ€ข Find a way to bring in a surprise and delight element โ€“ this could be getting congrats videos from your winners' executive team, teammates or even their friends/family. It adds so much more to their winning moment โ€ข Create a content piece out of your winning entries โ€“ this is a great asset that not only highlights your customer as an industry thought-leader, but allows other customers/future customers to learn from their success
