Over the past few weeks, we’ve been exploring some of the different types of customer marketing initiatives that CSMs can own to deliver fantastic customer experiences. From building customer advocacy to creating customer-centric content to measuring and sharing customer sentiment, customer marketing programs can come in different shapes and sizes.

While a customer advisory board is a cross-functional initiative that is often driven from the top-down, customer marketing teams (and CSMs!) should own the logistics and coordination of these meetings. This is to ensure the board – and the customers selected for the board – is mutually beneficial and is meeting outlined objectives. CSMs can help ensure the participants are getting as much value as they are giving. In addition, CSMs can help select different types of customer accounts for a broader swath of viewpoints.
