Bio
Benjamin Pope
Josh redefines the impact an exceptional leader can make in being invigorated by the work you do. He brought me to Corevist to build our ABM program and immediately created an environment where I was valued, challenged, and where he always had my back. He encouraged me to think deeper and more critically, directing me to consider meaningful metrics while not losing sight of the broader business context. He is an invaluable leader and mentor who has immeasurably advanced my professional growth. Josh commands a mastery of marketing strategy and an encyclopedic knowledge of tools and best practices that will undoubtedly serve as a growth multiplier to any team privileged to work with him. He is an innovative and creative leader who serves his team with integrity, humility, intellect, and a contagious passion for the business. I would not hesitate to work with Josh again and hope I one day have the pleasure and good fortune to do so.

Josh has an incredible ability to run an effective, data-driven, multi-channel marketing program at the executive level. He has a keen grasp of strategy in the context of a complex market, and he is creative, flexible, and enterprising in employing both familiar and novel tactics in support of that strategy. Working with Josh at Corevist was a real pleasure, and I grew immensely in my time under Josh. He taught me more about content marketing, SEO, CRO, positioning, product messaging (and more) than I could put into words. I highly recommend Josh for any executive-level marketing position.
