Turn regional expertise into account engagement.

I adapted a global marketer-education community into a regional account-engagement program, using practical learning and professional visibility as the way in to priority accounts.

  • 3 APAC markets

Program foundation. Mobile Heroes combined app-marketing education with a professional community for marketers, monetization experts, and game developers.

Regional adaptation. I launched the program in South Korea, then extended it to Japan and Greater China. The regional approach connected useful learning and marketer visibility with account engagement.

Why it worked as ABM. Instead of relying on a single campaign touchpoint, the program created relevant ways to build relationships with customers and prospects in each market.

Operating model

Strategy into market motion.

The through-line in my work: choose where to focus, build with Sales, create for local buyers, and make performance visible enough to improve.

01 · Theater strategy

Focus on the right accounts

Start with regional context, market maturity, customer needs, and account priorities before choosing the program mix.

02 · Sales partnership

Make field useful to revenue

Co-plan customer programs and executive experiences with Sales; align each moment to a clear audience and next step.

03 · Localization

Adapt without fragmenting

Translate the value story across APAC markets, including China, while keeping regional execution connected to the global narrative.

04 · Performance

Measure and reallocate

Make source, progression, ROI, and learning visible so teams can optimize investment rather than report activity alone.

05 · Team leadership

Build the operating muscle

Lead distributed teams through clear priorities, coaching, shared standards, and the willingness to execute alongside them.

06 · Product fluency

Make technical value concrete

Use my adtech, SaaS, and AI product-marketing background to turn a complex product into a credible buyer conversation.
