Hi, I'm Jenny.

I've spent the last 10 years building a marketing infrastructure from zero. Strategy, ops, content, paid media, events, campaigns, analytics, all of it. But my work didn't stop at marketing; I've worn the hats of a BDR, customer success, HR, accounting, and even the cleaning crew. If it needs to work, I'll make it work.

The Person Behind the Systems

I'm Jenny Lacey. For the last 10 years, I've been the operational backbone of marketing at an enterprise B2B SaaS company—reporting directly to the VP of Marketing, managing everything from the MarTech stack to six-figure event budgets to business continuity planning.

My title has never reflected the breadth of what I do. I've been the person who figures out HubSpot workflows, who rebuilds Salesforce campaign attribution, who manages 6+ industry events a year end-to-end, who edits the videos, who updates the website, who onboards new hires, who writes the documentation for the department, and so much more.

I'm honest, I take criticism well, I see gaps others don't, I have the unique ability to laugh just about everything off, and I'm constantly working to get better.

If I don't know how to do it yet, give me a few days.

What I actually do

Marketing Operations & Automation

Full ownership of HubSpot (email, nurture, lead management, scoring, lifecycle stages) and Salesforce (campaign attribution, HubSpot>Salesforce handover, campaign member tracking). Designed automated cadences, segmentation strategies, and reporting dashboards.

Built and scaled PathFactory infrastructure, including webhook integrations for real-time engagement tracking, content management, and a library of customizable content experience templates used for sales and partner marketing to accelerate pipeline.

Project & Campaign Management

Run the entire marketing department's project management on Monday.com: campaigns, events, content calendars, internal requests, analyst relations, creative workflows, and cross-functional rollups. Built campaign templates, maintained 15+ active boards, and created the operational structure the team runs on daily. Update our company Confluence pages with status, reports, and process documentation.

End-to-End Event Management

Manage a portfolio of 6+ events annually with budgets exceeding $750K. From contract negotiation and sponsorship tiers to booth logistics, speaker coordination, attendee targeting, and post-event attribution. Events span industry conferences (Gartner, NASCES, NRF), field events, webinars (both internally produced and paid media), biannual customer training sessions, and a two-day annual user conference for our customers, partners, and late-stage prospects. Tracking ROI of each event to determine future participation and spend.

Demand Gen & Lead Management

Manage paid programs through industry media outlets such as advertisements, webinars, podcasts, sponsorships, etc., ensuring the delivery and quality of lead guarantees in our contracts. Worked with the Director of Demand Generation to manage inbound leads and the sales handoff process. Upload and enrich third-party lead lists into ZoomInfo then to HubSpot/Salesforce, ensure proper account matching, lead scoring, and field completion.

Customer Marketing & Advocacy

Drive customer marketing programs including review campaigns, case study development, customer speaker coordination for events, and the annual user conference. Manage customer communications for training events and product updates. Coordinated award nominations for customers (i.e. Manufacturer of the Year, Supply Chain Executive of the Year, etc.).

Content & Creative Operations

Coordinate content production across case studies, whitepapers, blog posts, video, and thought leadership. Manage content syndication, optimize titles/abstracts for performance, and edit video using Camtasia. Handle creative requests through Monday.com and contractor coordination for design assets as needed. Use Forecast.ing for content optimization and Canva for branding and creative assets.

Website & Digital Properties

I maintained the company website from 2016-2024: SEO, landing pages, resource updates, form integration to Pardot and subsequently HubSpot, Google Analytics, and more. Since we brought in an agency in 2024, I am the main contact to coordinate with external designers and developers (while still handling "quick edits" myself).

Sales Enablement & Competitive Intel

Built customer wins slides organized by industry, vertical, solution, and competitors displaced. Developed sales onboarding materials covering the full MarTech stack, brand standards, and team workflows. Managed new hire marketing introduction sessions.

Analyst Relations & PR Support

Coordinate analyst RFI responses (Gartner, Quadrant Knowledge Solutions SPARK Matrix, Nucleus Research), manage Gartner Peer Insights review campaigns, support industry award submissions, and maintain industry organization memberships and profiles. Wrote and released all press releases from 2016-2020.

How I Work

Ops is the engine

I believe marketing operations is the most undervalued discipline in B2B. Without clean data, working automations, and thoughtful execution, strategy is just a slide deck. I'm the person who makes the strategy actually happen, and who figures out fixes as needed.

Figure-it-out energy

When something needs to happen and nobody knows how, that's usually when I end up owning it. Video editing? Learned it. Salesforce campaign architecture? Built it from scratch. Data integration? Researched it. BCP documentation? Helped get it on paper for the department.

Always improving

I take feedback in stride. I want to know what didn't work and why, then I document it so it actually improves the next time around. I'm not attached to how something gets done, I care that it works. If there's a better way, I want to find it.
