Co-Founders Client Success Sales Product Marketing

  • Chris Baggott, CEO & Co-Founder

    Visit his blog: Blogging Best Practices

    Co-founder Chris Baggott was a religious blogger, but a frustrated one. Sure, his email marketing best practices blog had won some notable awards, but the road there was long and painful due to serious usability issues. From his own personal experiences, Chris saw the opportunity to create a user-friendly blogging tool. And better yet, to create it in the mindset of an organization that wants to use blogs in order to accomplish real goals such as higher lead generation and revenues. Prior to co-founding Compendium Blogware, Chris was co-founder and CMO of ExactTarget, a leading on-demand email marketing company.

Prior to co-founding Compendium Blogware, Ali served as the Director of Online Marketing at ChaCha, a human-assisted search engine company.
