A Note from the GMarkU CEO
We are now over a year into our new reality of doing government marketing during a Pandemic. As I look across our landscape of government marketers and our vendor community, I am very proud of how we’ve collaborated to meet the challenges and conquered our new reality of reaching our government prospects and customers in a ways we never expected. I want to say a big Thank You to each of our vendors who responded quick and efficiently to ensure our marketing campaigns met this new reality. Without them, it would have been very difficult to ensure government marketers reached their goals for lead generation, brand awareness, virtual events, PR, social media and the list goes on.
So government marketing vendors – Thank You!
A special thanks go out to our GMarkU Strategic Partners. We’ve listed them below in the April 2021 edition of “The Beat”. If you are not engaging with them we encourage you to do so and would love to make an introduction if you’d like.

How to Find Your Audience in Government Contracting
Janet Waring, Founding Partner
Artform Business Solutions
One of the most frustrating things in Government Contracting is the inability to identify, contact, and connect with prospective federal buyers. A skill critical to surviving this hyper-competitive ecosystem, but rarely mastered. And truthfully, “walking the halls” in this industry has never been harder for a business developer.
Whether it’s due to legal concerns or a pandemic, establishing that vital human-to-human connection in Government Contracting is becoming increasingly difficult as the federal workforce condenses. The Pulse of GovCon sat down with Janet Waring, Founding Partner at ArtForm Business Solutions and Government Marketing University Professor to talk tactics.
