TMSA Fireside Chat with Marcie Vogelpohl, 2023 TMSA Marketing Mountain Mover
TMSA chats with Marcie Vogelpohl, Marketing Manager at Verst Logistics and then 2023 TMSA Marketing Mountain Mover, about all things marketing in transportation and logistics.
"I've been in freight marketing for more than a decade and I've never felt more at home than while at a TMSA conference. Marketing in this industry can be a very lonely position but the TMSA provides community and insight that emphasizes collaboration over competition. If you're looking for personal growth and opportunities to learn from colleagues within the freight world, you need to become involved with the TMSA."
Founder at Digital Dispatch | Host of Cyberly on Freightwaves
"We have been a Corporate member of TMSA for several years now. TMSA has and continues to bring value in the areas of both education and networking. Education through TMSA is two-fold. First, the association offers regular opportunities to learn through structured events. Second, education comes through a great connection to other TMSA members in like-positions who are willing to discuss and share what we are all doing to win. The networking opportunities, both virtual and in-person, have provided valuable contacts with both vendors and industry partners that enable us to build and deploy "best practices" in our sales and marketing efforts."
VP of Business Development, TCW
"The members of TMSA are unmatched in enthusiasm and willingness to share experiences to elevate transportation and logistics. This community of communicators (and sales experts!) is generous with their time and eager to support each other for the greater good of our industry. Our corporate membership provides access and opportunities for growth and we encourage our team members to leverage all that TMSA has to offer via events, webinars and mentors."
