043: Recruiting, Managing, and Growing a Remote Marketing Team

In this episode, we are talking about how to recruit, grow and manage your remote team. I'm talking with Kari Nemiro, who manages a 20-person team with members across the US.  She has cultivated a remote marketing team that supports a larger organization.

Even if you have a one- or two-person remote team, managing a team on its own is difficult but then managing a team that isn’t in the same office as you have its own unique challenges.  Kari’s approach believes in a solid foundation of trust, honest communication, and respect.  She’s got some great tips to keep you and your team on track.
