Product Marketing Manager at Publicinput

Product Marketing Manager About PublicInput PublicInput develops and supports Software-as-a-Service (Saas) solutions designed for government agencies and their consultant partners to facilitate and manage better communication with the public. Based in Raleigh, NC the company was founded with a vision to access and elevate historically underrepresented communities in the municipal and state planning process, while simultaneously streamlining cumbersome administrative work that so often prevents equitable outcomes. Our Approach Many engagement solutions only address small parts of the engagement process, offering a piecemeal approach that relies on third-party partnerships to fill in the gaps. PublicInput uses a unified approach, blending traditional and virtual engagement tactics via one integrated platform. Reliable, equitable, and simple, our easy-to-use user interface gives governments all the tools needed to facilitate successful public engagement. Our Culture PublicInput is driven by the core concept that “life is all about the people you meet and the things you create with them.” Through direct experience and collaboration, PublicInput is focused and committed to creating better ways for governments to have a relationship with their community. That is why we work hard to be the experienced and empathetic innovation partner that we wish we had had at our side when doing the tough job of engaging the public.
