Today we are talking with Amy Lewis and Matt Broberg, who along with John were the co-hosts of The Geek Whisperers podcast that came to a close at Episode 140 in October 2017. It was great to reconnect on the mic and have a laugh with Amy and Matt, but we also wanted to talk about their roles in influence marketing and what they are up to now. We talked about building a community at a startup, creating great content with a low budget, how their roles fit in across departments within their company, some highlights of the now retired Geek Whisperer podcast, and what projects we can look forward to from them both in the coming months! About our Guests: Amy is an energetic, effective marketing professional specializing in marketing strategy, communications, and customer engagement. She is a diplomatic collaborator with a passion for improvement. Amy is results-oriented with a knack for extracting business intelligence from marketing programs. Matthew (Brender) Broberg is the VP of Community at Sensu. Matt is a technologist with skills in marketing and a focus on product development. His role in a team is most powerful when cross-organizational and driven by the pressing needs of the company. He has the most fun when he’s empowered to lead a team to a collective goal.

Today we are talking with Matthew (Brender) Broberg , VP of Community at Sensu, Inc. Previously Matt was at Intel working on Developer Advocacy for cloud automation; he was also the founder of the program now known as the Dell EMC Elect. Matt was also one of the three co-hosts of the Geek Whisperers podcast along with John. It was really fun to hear about the things Matt has pulled from his past endeavors into making Sensu the best it can be. We take a look back and hear how Matt got into advocacy marketing, and how his love for connecting with community and pure curiosity are two things that never stand still. Matt helps develop the balance of business and community at Sensu, and we finish with a fun lightning round to hear who inspires him!

What is the value of IT Community? This week on the Virtually Speaking Podcast John and I bring in Community leaders John Mark Troyer and Amy Lewis to discuss the difference between advocacy and influencer communities and the benefits of each. Enjoy! Is IT Community really valuable? Is it just a huge ploy from marketing groups to advertise their products or is there real value for all involved? I certainly have my opinions on the topic, but this week I was really curious about what you (the collective IT Community) get from community. This prompted me to send a quick survey on the benefits of IT Community, and then invite some community leaders to discuss with us.
