The Museum Analogy Behind Rippling's Multi-Persona Content Strategy (w/ Regina Baumgartner, Head of Content)

Erik Jacobson sits down with Regina Baumgartner, Head of Content at Rippling, to explore how she manages content strategy across a complex multi-persona audience spanning HR, finance, IT, and startup teams. Regina shares the museum analogy that reframed how her team thinks about content creation and distribution: social media as street art, content series as curated exhibits, and community membership as the ultimate conversion goal.

The conversation gets into what it actually takes to scale content for a compound startup, how Regina balances subscriber growth metrics with qualitative signals from community interviews, and how AI fits into a production process without killing the creative work.
