Puja Rios AMA: Campaigns by Industry at Frame.io

In a recent Ask Me Anything (AMA) session hosted by Tofu, we were fortunate to gain some incredible insights from industry leader Puja Rios, the Chief Revenue Officer (CRO) of Frame.io. 

The Journey to Success

Puja's journey in corporate America started at Xerox before she transitioned to Career Builder and later moved onto Frame.io, where she significantly contributed to the company's exponential growth. Frame.io's acquisition by Adobe for $1.28 billion in 2021 offers ample testament to the role that focused sales and marketing efforts can have on a company's growth trajectory.

Beyond driving sales and contributing to company growth, Puja has always placed great importance on understanding the nuances of the products she represented. In fact, she candidly shared a key lesson she learned when she dove knee-deep into product understanding to draw a baseline strategic plan, something she credits with being instrumental to her growth as a leader.

Embracing Change with AI

Puja expressed an unwavering excitement about AI's potential to revolutionize various business aspects. Notably, Puja's optimism is founded on the notion of the 'co-pilot' model - where AI works in conjunction with humans to get the best results. She talked about AI's potential application in every part of the customer journey, from lead generation to customer success.

This highlights how she sees potential for software like Tofu to assist sales teams by keeping content relevant and fresh. In today's fast-paced world, stale content can hinder marketing campaign effectiveness, and AI provides a way to keep content up-to-date and applicable to your audience, effectively a 'game changer' in her words.

Importance of Industry-Specific Campaigns

Part of Frame.io’s growth is a testament to their keen understanding of the different needs of varying industry segments. Teams were organized into pods with a specific focus on customer success, marketing, and sales all tied to a specific vertical, driving greater knowledge and alignment.

Puja stressed the need for each team—customer success, sales, and marketing—to be completely aligned on a shared, vertical-focused mission. This approach, she noted, led to extraordinary growth in the past and remains a tenet of her leadership.

AI and the Future

Discussing AI’s potential future impact, Puja stressed that AI will not replace human labor but will rather enhance their capabilities. However, she asserted that AI's role will require businesses to consider essential ethical factors and develop robust policies that promote accountability and transparency in AI's use.

She shared a vision of the future where advances in AI will likely increase the effectiveness and efficiency of sales and marketing process. Meanwhile, hardware and infrastructure will need to advance in parallel to support these AI advancements.

Hear from leading experts

"I take a broad view of ABM: if you're targeting a specific set of accounts and tailoring engagement based on what you know about them, you're doing it. But most teams are stuck in the old loop: Sales hands Marketing a list, Marketing runs ads, and any response is treated as intent."

Kevin White
Head of GTM Strategy
Common Room

"ABM has always been just good marketing. It starts with clarity on your ICP and ends with driving revenue. But the way we get from A to B has changed dramatically."

Latané Conant
Chief Revenue Officer
6sense

"ABM either dies or thrives on Sales-Marketing alignment; there's no in-between. When Marketing runs plays on specific accounts or contacts and Sales isn't doing complementary outreach, the whole thing falls short."

Michael Pannone
Director of Global Demand Generation

"In our research at 6sense, few marketers view ABM as critical to hitting revenue goals this year. But that's not because ABM doesn't work; it's because most teams haven't implemented it well."

Kerry Cunningham
Head of Research & Thought Leadership
6sense

"To me, ABM isn't a campaign; it's a go-to-market operating model. It starts with cross-functional planning: mapping revenue targets, territories, and board priorities."

Corrina Owens

"With AI, we can personalize not just by account, but by segment, by buying group, and even by individual. That level of precision just wasn't possible a few years ago."
