Thao Littler is a Content and Customer Marketing Manager passionate about creating and amplifying customer success stories.
I am an award-winning Customer Marketing Manager passionate about keeping customers happy, amplifying success stories, and creating unique and memorable events! I specialize in customer advocacy, awards, references, and customer-led growth programs.
In the early years of my career, I wore many Marketing hats because we were the epitome of a lean team. I handled roles including Copywriting, Marketing Operations, Inbound Content Marketing, Demand Generation, Product Marketing, as well as Creative Design. I learned how to segment prospect and customer databases by personas and effectively create campaigns to reach out based on lifecycle stages. I also have 15 years of event planning experience, which I continue to put to good use with user and industry conferences, as well as virtual and other in-person events.
It wasn't long before I realized that my strengths in relationship building, adaptive communication skills, and empathy lent themselves to being a strong Customer Marketer. I have personally seen how a focus on customer-led growth, balanced with demand generation for net new pipeline, can be powerful mechanism for an organization, adding to its overall growth. That's why I get so excited about customer-led growth programs!
Where I excel:
• Developing annual award programs from the ground up
• End-to-end event management and marketing from conferences to webinars to happy hours/dinners
• Creating "better together" stories and co-marketing content
• Building processes to identify, recruit, and enable customer advocates + measuring impact
• Relationship building and nurturing throughout customer lifecycles

On a more personal note, I am a proud Vietnamese American immigrant and boss babe that loves to do good for her community and culture. By Meyers-Briggs standards, I'm an INFJ-T (Advocate)!
