Rebecca Geier for over 30 years, Rebecca has worked with technical professionals to develop their brands and tell their company's stories to target audiences. She has worked in corporate marketing settings, founded and served as CEO of her own inbound and content B2B marketing agency, and has served as Chief Marketing Officer of two SaaS startups in the chemical and AI software industries. She has uniquely worked alongside engineers and scientists to develop specific, measurable content strategies and persuaded those who previously believed content marketing doesn't work for skeptical, technical audiences. Named by The Wall Street Journal editors among America's Most Innovative Entrepreneurs, Rebecca has dedicated her time to researching the modern, digital buying journey and published annual reports that are read by tens of thousands of B2B business leaders around the world. Based on her research and decades of practice, in 2016, she published her first book, Smart Marketing for Engineers: An Inbound Marketing Guide to Reaching Technical Audiences. She has served as the keynote speaker on the topic of inbound and content marketing globally, including serving for many years as a featured speaker at the premier annual event for content marketers, Content Marketing World.
