In the debut episode of Branding the Beltway, host Stacey Piper sits down with Hunter Gros, Director of Marketing and Client Services at vTech Solution, to unpack what true sales and marketing alignment looks like, especially in the high-stakes, long-cycle world of federal contracting.
With a background in both sales and marketing, Hunter brings a dual perspective to this CXO-level conversation. He emphasizes why research is the cornerstone of any go-to-market strategy and how marketing should function as both a brand builder and strategic enabler for business development and capture teams.
