Partner Rewind and Fast Forward

Did you miss it? The Weekly Rewind went on hiatus for a short time. It’s back. It’s better. It’s all about you. Here’s what’s new and different:

New and exclusive content featured each week.

A look back at the stories you missed.

A look forward at what’s to come.

A new name! The Partner Weekly Rewind and Fast Forward (we totally entertained “Cisco McPartnersFace”, Paul @buzzblog).

In this week’s edition we’ll take a look at the brand campaign, how your role is evolving, and customer success.

You’ll only see this here

The new Cisco brand campaign launched last week. This campaign is all about transformational, stunning stories that show how technology is changing the way we work, live, play, and learn. It’s the first time we’ve gone to market to, thru, about, and with you, our partners. And it’s the first time we’ve delivered a campaign through ENGAGE.
