Mike Baumgarten gets promoted to our Director of Marketing

“It’s a nervous excitement.”

Mike’s professional growth and contributions to the company have been huge as he’s added a lot of creativity and processes. “There’s a lot at stake in the next year for the company. So I would say it is a privilege to work on these projects — it’s almost like a stage fright where you’re excited and nervous, but it kind of propels you.”

He describes one of his biggest accomplishments so far to be hitting his goals. “I’ve enjoyed producing our webinars and collaborating with our customers on content. The webinars were successful and had a great response. The two interviews that we’ve done so far with Rob from DoiT and Bree from Ergatta turned out awesome. Our Customer Success team have been great partners in creating content in how people use The Org. The credit goes to Julia and Ditte for taking care of our customers and fostering those relationships so people are willing to trust me to tell their stories.”

Currently, Mike is actively hiring for his team. He describes his team style to be autonomous yet collaborative. “We’re collaborative but there isn’t micromanagement. We’re able to give and receive constructive feedback well without taking our pride into account. It’s a group effort to produce the best result no matter what it takes to get there. For example, I always appreciate being able to bounce ideas around with Jenny, whether it’s on copy, some sort of user experience, or design and illustrations”

In addition to building his team, Mike is excited to get The Org in front of Talent and People Teams. “Showing the real value they can get out of the product and communicating how they can use The Org to do their jobs better and make the companies they work at more successful in the process.”

Congratulations on the promotion, Mike! We’re so excited for all the other amazing things you’ll continue to create!
