Episode 86 - Chris Postizzi of MG+M The Law Firm on building a marketing function from the ground up

A law firm often brings in a new CMO to overhaul the firm's go-to-market approach. In some cases, the firm has little to no existing marketing function and the new CMO must build a team from the ground up.
