In this episode of The Hard Corps Marketing Show, I sat down with Karen Sung, Chief Marketing Officer at Cyber Defense Group.

In this episode, we cover:
- Why direct marketing builds trust that partners can leverage to close deals
- How to create detailed buyer personas for channel partners and customers alike
- How ready‑to‑use marketing kits make co‑marketing fast and consistent
- Using data to prove ROI and continually optimize campaigns
