A few weeks ago I had the exciting privilege of announcing the Top 50 Conversational Marketers of 2019 on stage at HYPERGROWTH San Francisco.
As part of that list, we highlighted some of our extraordinary Drift Partners. Since its inception in 2018, the Drift Partner Program has grown to over 300 organizations from around the world, supporting companies from all industries with their lead generation goals through conversational marketing. Today, I’m excited to share some more about our Top 12 Conversational Marketing Partners of 2019.
