Rand, known for guiding businesses as they adapt to changing web dynamics and optimize their strategies, will address a room full of technical marketers navigating high-stakes, resource-constrained environments.

"Marketing isn't sales at scale – it's trust before the transaction – and that is something Rand understands deeply," said Joe Sullivan, co-founder of Gorilla 76. "I'm confident his message will resonate with IMS attendees and will help them to better serve specialized audiences in their niched engineering and industrial spaces, all without losing the human touch."

Clear Strategy for Complicated Marketing

Now entering its third year, the Industrial Marketing Summit was built from the ground up to support marketing professionals in manufacturing and engineering-driven companies. Hosted by two of the most respected names in industrial marketing – Gorilla 76 and TREW Marketing – IMS combines tactical learning with peer-powered support and proven frameworks to elevate marketing across the industrial landscape.

Attendees come from companies that build technical products and operate in industries marked by complex sales cycles and niche audiences. IMS brings learning experiences together with a community that specifically understands the challenges and nuances of technical B2B marketing.

"IMS is where marketers thrive. It's a space built for those who work in the most technical corners of industry, where B2C tactics often fall flat," said Wendy Covey, CEO and co-founder of TREW Marketing. "It's practical, empowering and rooted in our shared goal to raise the bar for the entire field – and there's no better place to do that than Austin, Texas."
