In episode 33 of The Startup Playbook Podcast, I sat down with Simon Walker, Partner Marketing Manager at IFTTT (If This Then That). Aside from his role at IFTTT, Simon is also the co-founder of Gone Social, a community of 2,500+ social media, marketing and PR enthusiasts in Silicon Valley sharing best practices, tools and ideas. Prior to his role with IFTTT, Simon was the Head of Marketing at LIFX , an Australian startup that raised $1.3M inside a week on Kickstarter and went on to raise $12M from Sequioa Capital. In the interview, Simon shares how to market innovative products, the importance of value driven marketing and how startups can develop partnerships with large organisations.
