About VOICES
Marketing in the Microsoft channel is uniquely challenging. It’s time we talked about it — together.
How VOICES came to be
If you’ve worked in Microsoft partner marketing, you know the feeling. You’re handed a budget and a vague directive to “drive pipeline” — and then you’re largely on your own. Hopefully, you know other marketers in your space that you can talk to. But if you don’t, then you need to ‘wing it.’
The well-known marketing conferences weren’t built for you. They’re too broad, too enterprise, or too focused on other industries. The Microsoft channel has its own rhythm, its own rules, and its own challenges — and for too long, the marketers navigating it have had to figure things out in isolation.
If you’re lucky, you have a day here and there to connect with marketers at other conferences. Or you attend marketing sessions at conferences, but there aren’t many, and they lack substance.
You asked; we listened. VOICES was created to bring marketers together in one virtual room to share ideas, challenge assumptions, and validate their strategies.
Who’s behind VOICES
VOICES was created by people who have lived it firsthand. Monica Hoyer brings 20+ years of B2B and tech marketing experience, working directly in the channel and partnering with two of the ecosystem’s most trusted voices: PartnerTalks, a media and content brand built for Microsoft partners, and MSDynamicsWorld, a leading news and media outlet serving the Dynamics and broader Microsoft community.
Built for Microsoft channel marketers
VOICES is designed for marketers working in the Microsoft ecosystem — whether you’re at an MSP, a VAR, an ISV, or a Microsoft-aligned agency.
If any of these sound familiar, you’re in the right place:
- You’re the only marketer at your company (or one of very few)
- You manage a budget and want to use it smarter
- You’re tired of generic marketing advice that doesn’t apply to your world
- You want real peer connections, not just another vendor pitch
Our mission
To give Microsoft channel marketers a dedicated space to learn, share, and grow — with practical strategy, honest conversation, and a community that actually gets it.
