Tracey Wallace, Director of Content Strategy at Klaviyo, explains why her team starts with distribution first. Every piece gets a channel-specific promotion plan before a single word hits the doc. She shows how to manage requests from many squads with a simple Slack intake, keep quarterly roadmaps tight, and protect quality through legal checks and global regions. If you want a clear look at how big teams build content that stays useful and never doubles work, check out this episode.
👤 About Our Guest: Tracey Wallace
Tracey Wallace builds content engines for fast-growing SaaS teams. At Klaviyo, she joined before the IPO and now steers a global strategy that serves eight regions and multiple go-to-market squads. About 70 % of each piece uses Klaviyo data, and 80 % spotlights a customer story. This mix turns content into powerful fuel for demand, retention, and teamwork. Tracey makes for great listening as she's open about challenging topics. In the past she has spoken about managing lay-offs and the myth of "one-off thought leadership."
