Meet Marni! Your Voice at SurveyGizmo

Join us in welcoming Marni Zapin to the SurveyGizmo team.

She is our Product Marketing Manager and is going to be your advocate and voice when it comes to the newest features that will be worked on at SurveyGizmo.

Marni comes to us with over 15 years of market research experience and has scoped, written, programmed, and analyzed hundreds of online surveys for a variety of companies.

How does it work?

Marni will have a bi-monthly article in the blog where she’ll ask for your input about a specific feature. We want you to tell her the good, the bad, and the ugly about the feature and she’ll then let us know about it during decision making time!

You’ll also see a little blurb about it in the right hand column of the newsletter every month as well. This month, she’d like your feedback on our current Email Invitation system.

Please welcome Marni and send feedback her way!
