Priya Mohan covers marketing technology at Topickz. Her 10 years in B2B SaaS marketing have taken her through demand generation, SEO, content, and growth roles, which means she evaluates marketing tools with a clear picture of what gets used daily versus what sits in the stack collecting dust.
Priya tests marketing automation platforms by running a full demand generation workflow: 1,000-contact list upload, 3-segment automation, lead scoring with 5 signals, CRM sync test, and email deliverability check across 3 test inboxes. The review measures setup time from blank account to first live workflow, not just feature checklists.
For SEO tools, she audits the same reference site with every tool in a category and evaluates both the accuracy of the findings and the actionability of the recommendations. Crawl depth, keyword data freshness, and SERP feature tracking are all tested.
Priya has held marketing leadership roles at B2B SaaS companies including head of demand generation and VP of marketing positions. She has hands-on experience running marketing stacks at companies from 20 to 500 employees, which shapes how she evaluates tools at different stages of scale.
