Senior Customer Advocacy Manager Senior Product Marketing Manager Senior Customer Advocate Manager Head of Customer Advocacy Operations Head of Content Communications Director of Growth Product Marketing Senior Brand and Community Manager Senior Growth Marketing Manager Early into Buffer’s journey, our Founder and CEO, Joel Gascoigne, read the book How to Win Friends and Influence People by Dale Carnegie. The book had a huge impact on Joel’s life and what Buffer would become. We have based several of Buffer’s values directly on the principles Carnegie proposes. Our true North Star. Transparency is the value we’re best known for, and yet, still very aspirational. We aspire to always default to transparency as a company and as individuals in our decisions and actions.
