Merging Design Thinking with Marketing
For years, marketers were responsible for pushing a product out to customers, regardless of whether it met their needs.

How can you resolve that conflict, so your marketing team doesn’t lock horns with the designers? We’ll explore what mindsets need to shift for less conflict and better products.
