Ann Jesse shared thisIt is official! DEMAND.com is the #2 fastest growing private company in the Southeast US, according to Inc. 5000. Our mission has always been simple: provide high-quality, first-party leads through a transparent, in-house process that delivers real ROI. This ranking proves that when you prioritize lead quality and client success, the results follow. Thank you to my clients and DEMAND.com family who have been part of this journey! #Inc5000 #DemandBetter #FastestGrowing #B2BGrowthAnn Jesse shared thisIn our first year of eligibility, DEMAND.com has been recognized as the #2 fastest-growing private company in the S.E. Region on the Inc. Regionals list, and as part of the Inc. 5000 recognition of the fastest-growing private companies in America. That’s a milestone we don’t take for granted. When we started DEMAND.com, the vision was clear: build a company that delivers real results for clients through high-quality, first-party leads and full-funnel marketing solutions that actually drive ROI. This recognition is a reflection of that mission, the trust of our partners, and the incredible work happening across our team every single day. To the entire DEMAND.com team, Thank You!

Ann Jesse reposted thisAnn Jesse reposted thisThat's a Wrap! We're still energized from our session at B2BMX last week and from the conversations as we step into our next chapter as DEMAND.com. Huge thanks to everyone who showed up, engaged, and shared their perspectives. The feedback was incredible, and the best part was hearing that people walked away with real takeaways they can actually use. The post-session feedback was stellar. Big shoutout to Whitney Goldstein, MBA, Terry Arnold, Rick Robinson, and our all-star pinch hitter, John J., for making this session a success! And thank you to Greg Brown, whose preparation and collaboration ahead of the event helped set the foundation for a great conversation. Real people. Real stories. Real lessons. Grateful to everyone who joined us and helped make it such a great conversation. #B2BMX #DemandGen #B2BMarketing

Ann Jesse reposted thisAnn Jesse reposted thisAs we wrap up the week and gear up for B2BMX next week, we’re excited to host a panel featuring some incredible thought leaders in the B2B space. Champion to Consensus: Practical Buying Group Coverage That Improves Conversion. Buying decisions do not happen in a straight line, and they do not happen with just one champion. Most pipeline friction today comes from being under-covered across the buying group, even when intent signals look strong. In this 30-minute panel, we will pressure-test common myths that limit buying group engagement, then share a practical coverage model you can take back to your GTM team. Expect real examples, clear metrics, and simple plays to expand from one engaged lead (the Champion) to buying-group consensus with panelists Greg Brown, Whitney Goldstein, MBA, Terry Arnold and moderatedby Rick Robinson You will leave with: - A clear definition of buying group coverage by stage - Coverage metrics you can review weekly with marketing, sales, and other key stakeholders - Practical plays to identify missing roles and close the gap See you there! Breakout 3: Luna 5–7 📅 March 10 🕟 4:30 PM See you at B2BMX! #B2BMX #B2BMarketing #DemandGeneration #BuyingGroups #ABM #GTMStrategy #RevenueMarketing

Ann Jesse shared thisTruthAnn Jesse shared thisI hired the smartest person in the room once. They lasted 3 months. I hired the kindest person in the room once. They're now running that team. Here's what that sign gets absolutely RIGHT about building winning teams 👇 We're obsessed with IQ. With credentials. With "rockstars" and "ninjas." But after 15+ years building sales teams, I've learned something brutal: Smart people who lack humility? They're ticking time bombs. Think about it... That genius who won't listen to feedback? That top performer who belittles teammates? That "expert" who thinks they know everything? They're not building your business. They're slowly destroying it. Here's what ACTUALLY happens when you prioritize kindness and humility: ↳ Team meetings become idea factories (not ego battles) ↳ Mistakes become learning moments (not blame games) ↳ Success gets shared (not hoarded) ↳ People actually WANT to help each other win I've seen it firsthand: The "average" rep who listened to everyone? Became our top performer within 6 months. The "inexperienced" manager who admitted what they didn't know? Built the strongest team culture we'd ever had. The "quiet" team member who always helped others? Now our most valuable leader. Because here's the uncomfortable truth: Skills can be taught. Systems can be learned. Processes can be mastered. But kindness? Humility? Those are CHARACTER. And character is what determines: - How they handle pressure - How they treat customers - How they respond to failure - How they celebrate others' wins Smart people might win alone. Kind and humble people? They build dynasties. So next time you're hiring, promoting, or building a team... Don't just check their resume. Check their character. Because working with smart people IS great. But working with kind and humble people? That's how you build something that actually lasts.

Ann Jesse liked thisCategorizing Jake as a “STAR” intern doesn’t begin to cut it. Jake Scalzo , you have made the most tremendous impact to our team and it’s been an honor to work alongside side you, learning and teaching one another each day. Cheers to an incredible year behind us and so much goodness and success ahead for you. #SAPConcur #SAPAnn Jesse liked thisOfficially wrapping up my first rotation as a SAP STAR Intern on the SAP Concur Marketing Shared Services Demand Generation team and what a year it’s been! Finding the balance as a STAR Intern, Full-time Student, and Managing Director of Gonzaga Sport Consulting Group has not been easy at all, but it has led to one of the biggest years of growth in my life. Having the opportunity to make a real impact in industry while still in university has been incredibly rewarding, and I’m extremely proud of everything I’ve accomplished throughout this rotation. Some of the projects and accomplishments I’m most proud of this year include: • Nurture Optimization: Audited 11 personas by pulling and analyzing six months of email performance data for each. Through this analysis, I identified potential email-checking bot inflation within footer click metrics and developed recommendations for new CTA language, subject lines, and email template structures. After presenting findings and helping implement these changes across all 11 personas, the updates drove an average +18.6% CTOR lift. I also built entirely new nurture streams for both IT and Procurement personas based on these insights and optimization principles. • Banner Ad Creation: Designed and produced 614 banner ads across multiple campaigns, verticals, formats, sizes, and creative variations while balancing brand consistency with campaign performance goals. • Video Production: Learned and utilized the AI video platform Synthesia to script, create, and produce campaign videos supporting marketing initiatives. • Lead Gen Analysis: Conducted a large-scale analysis of 401 ads across 8 quarters and 6 personas to identify trends in keywords, colors, timing, and caption length that most effectively drove lead generation performance. The insights and recommendations from this project will help guide future campaign strategy and optimization efforts. • Content Dashboard Revamp: Helped redesign the Content Team’s Adobe Analytics dashboard to improve visibility into Resource Center engagement and performance metrics, helping create more actionable reporting for the team. Huge thank you to my amazing team Brandi Weden, Ryan Oliver, Marisa Farella, MBA, Vanessa Razo for all of the mentorship, support, and guidance throughout this year. I’m incredibly grateful for the time each of you invested in helping me grow professionally and personally. This experience would not have been the same without all of the time and energy you have invested into me! A special thank you as well to Shyra Davis Shenker for your continued guidance, advocacy for my growth and development, and for giving me this incredible opportunity. I’m also incredibly excited to begin my next rotation with Andrew Johnson and the Partner Marketing Go-To-Market team. I cannot wait to stay curious and find all the ways that I can grow, and make an impact for this team! #SAP #SAPNextGen #STARIntern #SAPConcur

Ann Jesse liked thisAnn Jesse liked thisI believe that motivation can come from a lot of places, (from within) but a lot of times external motivation can be powerful. For example, one of my latest personal inspirations is from my daughter. She has been excelling at riding her bike and wants me to run with her while playing her favorite songs, so she can ride and sing. My motivation…to become a faster runner, so in turn, I can enjoy listening to my daughter sing and hear her encouraging words for me to run faster. From a work standpoint, our team has taken on a new challenge that has me learning a lot of new skills and pushing me out of my comfort zone. My motivation…making sure that we continue to excel when it comes to the ever-changing programmatic landscape. Additionally, it has the potential to make our media dollars work harder. While my coworkers are not asking me to play their favorite songs, we are encouraging each other as we learn these new skills. While motivation can certainly get us to run faster or challenge ourselves professionally, it is determination and consistency that continue to push us forward! What is something lately that either personally or professionally that has motivated you to chase after something?

Ann Jesse liked thisAnn Jesse liked thisThis Saturday, I’ll be participating in the 2026 Brain Tumour Walk in honour of my Uncle Chris, and I would truly appreciate any support. ❤️ My uncle was one of the best people I’ve ever known. He was the kind of person who always lent a hand, always supported his family, and was simply always there when people needed him. He loved soccer, loved his family deeply, and brought so much kindness and strength to the people around him. Even though he’s no longer with us, he’ll absolutely be with us on this walk. For anyone in the Greater Vancouver area, me and the dogs will be there, and I would genuinely love to see anyone who is available to join us and walk in support of everyone impacted by brain tumours. And for those not local, donations and shares are always deeply appreciated. Every contribution helps support brain tumour research, advocacy, and support programs for families navigating incredibly difficult circumstances. Thank you for helping us honour such an incredible man. ❤️ Donate or join here: https://lnkd.in/gURgBjcE

Ann Jesse liked thisAnn Jesse liked thisSix months in at Veeam Software. Here's what that looks like in action. From a Financial Services dinner at Le Bernardin in New York City, to senior executive roundtables with forward-thinking industry leaders across the East Coast, to VeeamOn NYC, and planning numerous events with the Enterprise East team — the first six months have been non-stop. And every conversation at these events comes back to the same challenge: organizations want to accelerate safe AI at scale. But AI is only as strong as the data behind it. That means data resilience, data security, and enterprise AI can't be treated as separate priorities. They're one solution stack. And Veeam sits at the center of it. Excited to be part of the team building that future. Thanks for bringing me along for the ride Dina Maehr Victoria Witt Julie Kriz Seema I. Bri Minick Ashlee Sargent
