Marketing + Communications

Battery assists portfolio companies with a range of marketing and communications issues, both strategic and tactical. The group is a resource for early-stage companies just starting to tell their stories and launch products, as well as mature firms that want to re-position their brands in advance of a liquidity event or restructuring, or receive counsel during a crisis.

Battery’s marketing team helps companies evaluate outside PR firms and marketing consultants; serves as a liaison with tech- and financial-industry conference organizers; assists with funding announcements and other news; and offers counsel on content marketing, digital marketing and PR/communications. Another big focus for the group is facilitating networking and best-practices sharing at the dozens of high-profile events Battery organizes each year for portfolio-company executives.

“Battery’s marketing team has been almost an extension of our own team at Gainsight for the last five years. Becky and her team have supported us in both strategy definition as well as tactical marketing and PR. The team is also incredibly well-networked and has made invaluable introductions to agencies, consultants and journalists. We wouldn’t be where we are without them.”

–Anthony Kennada, CMO of Gainsight

“Battery’s marketing team puts together an amazing events calendar. The recent Leadership Summit had inspiring stories all around, and was a great opportunity to spend quality time with other founders/CEOs. It was really valuable.”

– Derek Roos, CEO of Mendix

“Becky and the Battery marketing team have been a fantastic partner to Braze over the last few years.
