Diversity in Tech, Moving Beyond Metrics to Meaningful Change

21/5/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Here we are in 2025, and the conversation around diversity and inclusion in the tech industry has evolved significantly; but not always in the ways we hoped. While we’ve seen remarkable progress in areas such as representation and awareness, the landscape remains complex and often challenging. As leaders, we can no longer afford to treat diversity as a checkbox exercise. We must treat it as a strategic imperative and a human responsibility.
​
At Yellow Spider, diversity is more than a pillar of our culture, it’s embedded into our identity. We’ve built a team that reflects a wide spectrum of backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives and we’re constantly learning how to better support the people who make our business thrive. And yet, like many in our industry, we are still asking ourselves: what does real inclusion look like, and how do we get there?

I want to highlight four key trends shaping the state of diversity in tech today.

1. The Double-Edged Sword of Technology
Technology is increasingly shaping the way we approach diversity, and its impact is both promising and problematic. On one hand, AI and data analytics are helping to reduce bias in recruitment, track diversity metrics, and foster more equitable workplaces but technology also has the potential to reinforce bias.

We’ve seen cases of flawed algorithms unintentionally screening out candidates from underrepresented backgrounds, or platforms that exclude individuals with lower digital literacy or accessibility needs. This tension raises an important question: how can we ensure technology is a force for inclusion, not exclusion?

2. Psychological Safety as a Cornerstone
Diversity without inclusion is a hollow victory. It’s not enough to hire people from different backgrounds; we must also create workplaces where they feel heard, valued, and safe. Psychological safety has become a key driver of innovation and retention.

At Yellow Spider, we’ve made this a top priority, we’re striving to build an environment where people bring their full selves to work. But psychological safety doesn’t happen by accident, it requires daily, intentional effort from everyone, especially those in leadership.

3. Expanding the Conversation to Neurodiversity and Accessibility
In recent years, we’ve seen the inclusion conversation broaden to address neurodiversity and disability.  Traditional workplace norms, from rigid 9–5 schedules to sensory-overloaded office spaces, often exclude people who think or operate differently.

We’ve taken steps at Yellow Spider to redesign workspaces to be more accessible. We’re learning how small changes can make a big difference, but we know this is just the beginning. The real question is: how do we build systems that serve everyone, not just the majority?

4. Confronting Systemic Inequality in Hiring and Promotion
Finally, there’s a systemic inequality in hiring and promotion. We know that talented individuals are often screened out for no valid reason, whether it’s due to career gaps from caregiving, age, non-traditional educational backgrounds, or simply being part of an underrepresented group. The more we expand our definition of talent, the better our teams and our innovations will be. So, how do we rebuild hiring systems to be more inclusive?

At Yellow Spider, we’re challenging these norms. We’ve rethought job descriptions, introduced skills-based assessments. By expanding our definition of what talent looks like, we’re seeing stronger teams and better ideas.

But we also know that rebuilding systems requires sustained effort and a willingness to be uncomfortable. It means asking: who are we unintentionally leaving out—and what are we willing to change to bring them in?

Leaning Into the Complexity
The journey towards true diversity and inclusion isn’t simple. It’s not a single initiative or a polished PR statement. It’s a series of difficult questions, daily choices, and bold decisions. At Yellow Spider, we’re committed to leaning into that complexity because the stakes are too high to settle for easy answers.
​
I invite my fellow leaders, partners, and peers across the tech industry to do the same. Let’s stop repeating the same narratives and start reimagining what inclusive leadership really means in 2025 and beyond.

The Crucial Role of Strategic Partnerships

1/7/2024

0 Comments

 
Picture
For ​IT vendors who want to scale and grow, having a reliable and effective channel strategy is not just advantageous; it’s essential. The world of IT is not only fiercely competitive, its also constantly changing. A channel that works collaboratively with vendors and brings mutual business is the cornerstone of sustainable success. Partners serve as force multipliers, significantly enhancing the vendor's ability to reach new markets, innovate, and grow.
The Collaborative Advantage
I’ve been in the business long enough to know that a channel partnership is much more than a transactional relationship; it’s a strategic alliance. When IT vendors and their partners work collaboratively, they combine their strengths to create a formidable force. Partners bring a wealth of valuable local knowledge, customer relationships, and market insights that vendors often lack. A collaborative approach ensures that solutions are not only designed to meet market demands but they’re also effectively delivered and supported.
Working closely with partners enables vendors to tailor their offerings to specific market needs, providing a more customised and relevant solution to end customers.

Mutual Business Benefits
All successful channel partnership are built on mutual benefit and ensuring both parties ‘get what they want’. Put simply, partners expand a vendors reach and market presence without the need for significant additional resources and partners gain access to cutting-edge technologies and solutions that can enhance their own offerings and differentiate them in a busy marketplace.

This symbiotic relationship drives growth for both parties. Vendors can focus on innovation and product development, confident that their partners will handle distribution, sales, and support effectively. Meanwhile, partners can leverage the vendor’s technology to enhance their value proposition to customers, leading to increased sales and profitability. This mutual success creates a valuable cycle of growth and innovation.

Partners; the Force Multipliers
Partners are true force multipliers for IT vendors. They enable vendors to scale rapidly and effectively without the overhead costs associated with building and maintaining large in-house teams. Partners bring their own expertise, resources, and customer bases, amplifying the vendor's reach and impact.

Partners also play a crucial role in driving innovation. They are the ‘voice’ from the field providing feedback and insights, helping vendors to refine and improve their products. This real-time feedback loop is invaluable in an industry where staying ahead of the curve is vital.

Scaling and Growth
The answer to scaling and growth lies in leveraging the strengths of strategic partners. IT vendors can scale their operations significantly by building a robust partner ecosystem. This approach allows vendors to enter new markets quickly, adapt to changing customer needs, and stay competitive in a crowded marketplace.
 
A strong channel strategy helps vendors manage risks better. By diversifying their routes to market and relying on a network of trusted partners, vendors can mitigate the impact of market fluctuations and economic uncertainties. This resilience is crucial for long-term growth and stability.

For IT vendors aiming to achieve sustainable growth and success, investing in a strategic channel partnership is not optional but essential. Partners provide the collaborative advantage, mutual business benefits, and force multiplication necessary for scaling and growth.
​
Yellow Spider have worked closely with IT vendors and their partners for over a decade, helping them to unlock new opportunities, drive innovation, and build a resilient and thriving business.

You need a copywriter: fact.

16/5/2024

0 Comments

 

​Organisations, both large and small rely on words to create the shop front to their businesses. Whether you know it or not, the words you use (or perhaps, don’t use) tell your audience more than you might believe. In fact, with most potential buyers meeting your brand or product online for the first time,  you could go as far as to say that your written content is the most influential weapon in your marketing arsenal.


Picture
Why do words matter?

Words are powerful. They’re used to unite people, pull them apart, to drive people to action; in essence, they’re what sets humankind apart from our other, less sophisticated relations. Furthermore, our unique methods of communication (our language, tone, sense of humour and so on) are what brings our personalities to life. But what does this mean in the corporate market?
A whole lot, actually.
The business world has been in a tough spot for some time. Older companies may remember the global recession of the early 2000s, and everyone will have been more recently challenged by the pandemic. While this economic landscape sadly forced the closure of many good businesses, those remaining have inherited a heavy load - intensified competition, price increases and escalated consumer expectations. In this new commercial world, where competition is fierce, how can organisations set themselves apart from the competition? Easy: words.
Your online presence – your website, social media accounts, blogs, brochures and more are what make you you. When you use the right words to powerfully communicate your company messaging, your brand personality shines through. It’s this that resonates with audiences and entices action. Because no matter how far down the business to business tunnel you find yourself, people are still buying from people.

But what does a copywriter do that I can’t do myself?

That’s a good question. Here are a few good answers:
  • They’re professionals – Are you a professional writer? No, because you’re too busy running a company, right?  Your time is spent on planning, forecasting, managing the whole kit and caboodle, and while you know your product or service inside out, you probably lack the time and space to be able to do it justice with words. Added to which, the internet is littered with companies exhibiting grammatical and spelling fails which (in some cases give rise to hilarity) are potentially extremely damaging for your brand. Don’t become a laughing stock because you’re rushing content out of the door.
 
  • Deliver online visibility – SEO, an industry term for the prominence of your brand online, is a crucial component of your success. Search engines are continually judging you based on a number of factors, including the quality of your content. Trusting a professional will ensure that you consistently rank better in terms of SEO, not to mention a more preferable option to battling through keywords, readability, and the rest of it, alone.
 
  • Deliver consistency – Your brand personality, the thing that makes you you (to your audience), is almost entirely reliant on your content. Sure, your website design, the way you talk to your clients in person and your client reviews all help, but the way your consumer receives information…that’s your content, and it needs to be spot on. A professional copywriter will support you in nailing your unique tone, not to mention ensuring that it remains obvious and consistent throughout your written content.
 
At the end of the day, all businesses, no matter the industry, are selling something – whether a product or a service and are therefore reliant on a receptive audience to say, “yes”. The way you pitch your organisation, the consistency of your messaging, your online visibility and the personality you’re able to bring to your audience all have the power to make or break your brand. Hiring a professional dramatically increases your chances of your audience saying “yes” more often than them saying “no”.  

Here’s the best bit: we can do it all for you! From social posts to emails, brochures to blogs: Yellow Spider is the gift that just keeps on giving.

The importance of MDF reporting

19/10/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
I was recently asked to take part in a Marketing Expert Session to share my opinions and thoughts on the importance of reporting on marketing development funds.  It goes without saying that you would provide reporting for all activities funded by MDF however there are trends. From our experience of working with multiple technology vendors, we know reporting is still very important for demonstrating success and for future decision making.
Focus on the output not the process
MDF isn’t always treated with the importance it deserves and in some cases the process takes over from the output. What I mean is that we often see a lot of time being spent on following the process and complying with each step but then see little focus on the important part which is ‘what difference has this made? What revenue has this driven?’
 
It’s easy for MDF to simply become a process and for the reporting a tick box exercise; something that needs to be done to make a claim but don’t lose sight of the actual impact an activity is making. As a vendor you want reporting that reflects reality and allows you to track the true ROI, not just a list of spurious numbers.
 
Report on what’s important 
Being able to measure an activity is one thing but being able to see if it actually works is something else.
 
People use the terms POE and POP interchangeably, but they are two very different things. POE is something that demonstrates an activity has taken place, this is arguably a box ticking activity. It’s the ‘here’s a list of the 100 people who attended our webinar’ very rarely is there a £ value attributed to the metric.  You can’t measure ROI from POE.
 
POP on the other hand is reporting to demonstrate how well the activity performed and the impact on revenue might not be released for 6,8 or 12 months after execution.
 
We have a client who is running an MDF funded content syndication campaign with a partner. The vendor doesn’t want to know about the 500 raw leads the campaign generates, they want to know the figure of qualified leads that comes as a result of the prospecting by the tele marketing team.  And for that reason….
 
Deal registration
Has become even more important than ever as a method of tracking the impact of an activity. Another Yellow Spider client requests POE immediately after the activity is executed but a criteria of claiming their MDF is that the partner must deal reg all leads generated as a result of ongoing nurture. The vendor wants the partner to take responsibility for lead nurture and to own the potential pipeline it represents. They want to know what revenue the activity has driven, that’s how they measure ROI.

Some activities are easier to measure than others
But that doesn’t mean you should neglect the difficult ones, you just need to be smarter at how you measure and report.
 
We believe it’s about guiding people to what good looks like and that depends on the activity type. If you take content syndication as an example;  if this is something you offer as a service on your marketing automation platform then it’s easy to execute and measure. If you don’t then the partner will use MDF to fund an activity with a third party, that activity is then out of your control and not as easy for you to measure but it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t do it.
 
Be clear on what good looks like. All partners are different and a successful campaign varies depending on the activity type and what you’re aiming to achieve.  Have simple guidelines, set expectations and be clear on what you are measuring.
 
Yellow Spider has a long history in developing and managing MDF and deal registration programs for vendors. If you would like more information on how we can help your program run more efficiently, please contact us.

Email Marketing tools – what to look for when selecting one.

31/5/2023

0 Comments

 
Picture
​Email marketing has evolved significantly over the last few years. What started as more of a megaphone for your message has now become a smarter and personalized way to talk directly to your contacts, and a way to get insights into their interest in return. Email is now one of - if not the - most effective ways to interact with your audience.  But with so many platforms and features out there, it can be difficult to pick the right tool to send your messages and engage with recipients. Here are the top features and functionality you should be looking for when selecting an email marketing platform. 

Meaningful Metrics
Data rules when it comes to managing your marketing tactics, and knowing who opens and reads your emails is essential. Beyond the standard metrics like opens and clicks, look for a platform that gives you more insight into Who, What, Where, Why, and How your emails are being viewed. Look for a tool that tracks what gets clicks and what content is getting the most views. Some platforms can track the location where the emails are viewed - helping you know the best time zones to send or language to localize your messages to in the future. You will get varying clicks depending on the time of day you send your email and you may be able to track if the email was opened on a laptop versus a mobile device. Having this information gives you insights into your contact’s behavior and how they interact with your messages which is invaluable when planning future campaigns.

Customizable Campaigns
Pre-built campaigns and templates are great but if you can’t customize your messaging options, skip that tool. Look for features that let you brand and personalize your messages. Over half of emails are opened on mobile devices compared to desktop, so you need to consider being able to design your messages for mobile viewing. Let your audience know who the message is from by making your emails unique. Beyond the design flexibility, you want to use a platform with send and viewing options as well. Can you schedule your messages based on your recipient’s time zone? Will it score your leads based on their engagement, and automate nurturing? Does it allow for A/B testing? Can it adjust to different country’s data and privacy rules? Although these features usually come at a price, a robust set of options will result in a more successful campaign and ultimately a better return.

Ease of Use
All the bells and whistles can’t save a terrible interface. If setting up a campaign leaves you frustrated, it’s time to look for a different tool. Find a platform that gives you intuitive steps through a process, tooltips, or helpful tours/guides to their features and setting options. It’s not just aesthetics; get something that is practical and efficient. Consider it a plus if they have a knowledge bank with articles and tips to help you stay on top of trends and best practices.

Reputable and Reliable
You may think it’s obvious, but finding a marketing tool with good reviews is best. It’s very tempting to save costs and go for the “affordable” option however, this can end up costing you more in the long run. Beware of tools that advertise low costs for high-volume email sends, these often end up with terrible delivery rates, blacklisted IP addresses, or go straight to junk. Check within your marketing community to see what others in the field are already using and what they like about it.  Do your research before you sign up and read reviews from other users. It’s also a good idea to request a free trial before committing to a platform.

When it comes to email marketing you need to consider what your priorities are and what the requirements of your organization are. From first impressions to loyal customers, your email messages will speak not only your message but will represent your brand and business too so find a tool that will elevate that message and build your business value.

5 reasons why you need a marketing agency

19/5/2023

Picture
​
​Are you looking for an immediate solution to your short or long term resourcing challenges? Do you find yourself lacking marketing head count to deliver an event or complete a project quickly? If the answer is yes to either of these questions, then you probably need a marketing agency!  

In this article Sophie Griffis, Project Director at Yellow Spider, discusses the 5 reasons why working with an agency is a good solution to support your business growth. 
​
​
​1. Expertise
Agencies have a pool of resource that have been carefully selected for their skills and expertise in a specific area.  That means the person who is allocated to manage your project will not only be able to do the job, but they are likely to be an expert in it! This is a good fit with project work which, by nature, is often centered around one type of activity (i.e. events, email campaign support, partner enablement etc.). You get an expert, not just a ‘doer’.
 
2. Cost
This obviously depends on the  support you need and for how long but generally speaking, when you work with an outsourced marketing agency the overall cost burden is reduced. You avoid having to pay recruitment fees, holiday pay, sick leave, company benefits and office space and equipment costs.
 
3. Extended team
Unlike freelancers, individuals who work for an agency do not work alone. They are part of a team and have access to a wider pool of support that they can call on as and when required for specific skills. This wealth of knowledge and experience is an invaluable resource for advice and best practice. Having the support of a team means you always have cover during times of absence, and it gives you the ability to flex resource up during busy periods to meet seasonal fluctuations in workload.
 
4. Commitment
Commitment happens to be one of our core values at Yellow Spider Ltd. We are committed to providing a service that exceeds our customers expectation. Our style is effective, open communication and transparency at all times. We get the job done, we work to tight deadlines and as a by-product aim to leave best practice behind wherever we go!
 
5. Reactive
We’ve all had times when we’ve needed additional support on a project or task, but recruitment is not an option because it would take too long.  A marketing agency is ready to jump headfirst into a project in an instant. They require minimal training (they’ve done it all before) and zero onboarding. An agency is able to react quickly, whatever support you need and will have someone with the right skills ready to help you immediately.
  
Yellow Spider is a marketing services agency. We offer a 100% outsourced marketing function, fitting seamlessly into your existing team to bridge skills, ​ fill gaps in headcount or cover leave of absence. To find out how we can help your business contact us today.

Sales and Marketing. Quality and Collaboration.

23/4/2021

0 Comments

 
Picture
How would you define success in your Field Marketing role? This question was posed to me not too long ago, and faster than expected my answer was: I would base it on the quality of my collaboration with sales. Quality and collaboration… let’s come back to that in a moment.
​As I made that statement I felt that the expected answer was more in line with “achieve 110% of pipeline target” or “run focused webinars across key verticals”. Yes, that is the job but success, in my opinion, comes from doing the job in a certain way. 

Secondly, I am not sure why my response surprised me so much, as I have experienced this really working (and not), and this is where the part about quality and collaboration comes in. It’s not about always saying “yes” or even being mentioned in the internal announcements about closed deals (!) but about taking the time to educate and be educated and make sure you focus on the same end goals, in every day business, beyond the quarterly or annual business plan and QBRs.
As our world and our work has changed over the last year, the power of high quality collaboration between marketing and sales has only increased, and I can see three key areas  worth some extra focus:

  • Audience - marketing needs their direct engagements, but we need to share the logic behind them with sales. There is an increased focus on the audience for Field Marketers. We’re all communicating exclusively using digital communications and hosting webinars so knowing your audience - and what matters to them - is more important than ever. When we look at intent data or levels of engagement in a waterfall model having the input and dialogue with sales is priceless.

  • Support - leveraging social networks doesn’t mean that sales “do marketing” - we need to see how we can support each other.  Social selling has become a top priority over the last year. Previously, a nice to have, it’s now part of regular cadence for sales as well which means we’re often using the same tools, such as LinkedIn. Marketing is there to support sales with useful content, guidance on best practice, encouragement on action and the results and impact it brings, pre-pipe. It’s a marketer’s job to make information accessible in a digestible way, interpret and act TOGETHER with sales on early intent; do the analysis, suggest the opportunities and use the data. We are here to see the trends and early signs and share them with sales. Even when we use the same tools, sales and marketing can always benefit from each other’s perspective.

  • Results and feedback – successful field marketers have a stated agreement with sales based on how they’re measured. Activities that do not meet the pipeline metrics have traditionally been hard to agree - it’s got to show result. Now, over the last year, I have seen Field Marketing activities change, and focus moved “higher in the funnel”. So, conversion to pipeline might not be the short term goal of all activities, but it is our job as marketeers to secure, explain and feedback on other metrics, such as engagement with content. Now, how can this be used in the collaboration between sales and marketing? I think the opportunities here are endless.

Find the hidden gems in your data

8/5/2020

We love data at Yellow Spider,
mainly because it provides so much insight that we use to improve our clients marketing outreach. During these times of reflection we are supporting a number vendors who are revisiting and analysing their data to make sure it is providing them with maximum value.

​
Our main focus is to highlight opportunities for growth which are often overlooked or missed.

We have developed a tool that combines data and intelligence gathered through the sales and marketing process to identify specific behaviours and buying preferences.  This allows us to create groups of customers with similar characteristics resulting in effective segmentation and identify clearly defined groups of opportunities:

  • With a propensity for growth
  • That offer increased share of wallet
  • To re engage with non-trading customers
  • That are targets for competitive displacement
  • To cross sell or upsell
​
This method of segmentation helps to define marketing activities, go to market strategies and messaging for targeted nurture campaigns aimed at driving specific outcomes or responses.
 
It’s powerful insight and is particularly relevant to organisations selling through a two-tier model. Information gathered can be used to strengthen channel relationships and build more effective (and mutually lucrative) engagements through a programmatic approach.
 
The benefits of taking a fresh look at your data are clear and by introducing a regular cadence of analysis patterns start to emerge. Once the framework is in place it’s easy to run the analysis on a quarterly basis as a temperature check or to measure the effectiveness of sales and marketing campaigns.

Going digital

24/4/2020

We’ve seen lots of events being cancelled over the past couple of months some with the promise of “going digital” as an alternative to the live event itself. This got us thinking at Yellow Spider about what “going digital” actually means. It’s hard to imagine a time when one can simply recreate the face to face experience of a live event with a digital substitute, no matter how advanced it is.

There are some great platforms out there that have rocketed in popularity over the last few weeks that aim to recreate the human experience. They provide a virtual event, presenting content in a compelling way, offer a two-way question and answer facility, some even allow you to request giveaways. A brilliant solution in the absence of a ‘real’ event but how do you gauge an individual’s reaction to a statement or message? How can you see what they are responding to or understand what it is they want to gain by engaging with you?

At Yellow Spider “going digital” means so much more.
There is already an abundance of digital content available in our organisations today so going digital for us means looking at the end to end digital journey, leveraging existing platforms, assets and content to identify, segment and nurture opportunities at all stages of the sales pipeline.

We start with leads and opportunities that already exist. What are these people doing instead of attending trade events? We look at how we can leverage all digital platforms to understand more about the audience’s characteristics, what and how they consume content and how they want to engage.

By understanding how content is consumed we evolve marketing tactics using multi touch digital campaigns to drive awareness and action and gain attention. We look at the complete landscape and create digital content aimed at specific market verticals then formulate campaigns that move those ‘warm’ opportunities through the sales pipeline.

We use digital platforms to gauge interest levels and response rates then feed this information into a lead scoring process. This method of scoring allows us to measure engagement in a campaign and track behaviours and demographics to get a better understanding of the prospect's company and situation.  This helps to define the lead follow up strategy and highlights who needs immediate follow up, who needs to be nurtured and who should be discounted.
 
That work also feeds really well into a virtual event strategy for a more targeted and tailored approach based on interest indicators. And, that is where we believe a virtual event can really make a immediate impact on leads and pipeline generation, much like the physical events that are now on pause.
 
In summary it doesn’t need to just be all about virtual events, there is so much more digital marketing activity that can provide real, measurable results (and generate pipeline). 

Contact us today to find out how we can help your journey to “going digital”.
