Exclusive Networks, a global trusted cybersecurity specialist for digital infrastructure, is today launching a first-of-its-kind Marketing Network aimed at evolving the marketing efforts among its partner businesses.
This initiative is set to create an ecosystem of collaboration in which marketers can thrive, and their respective businesses can benefit from best practices traditionally reserved for the technical and sales domains. At the core of this initiative lies the recognition of the ‘multiplier effect,’ a proven concept whereby engaging two or more partners in a deal leads to a staggering 113% uplift in deal sizes.
“The Exclusive Networks Marketing Network is more than just a support system; it’s a vision to promote marketing excellence, elevate industry standards, and highlight the intrinsic value of marketing for our partner businesses,” said Hannah Jenney, Exclusive’s Marketing Director UK & Ireland.
