Level up your knowledge of brand building, market research, positioning, demand generation, and more.
AI hasn’t just compressed build cycles; it’s compressed thinking. Now, every SaaS site looks cloned, every brand interchangeable.
But despite the endless copy-paste, it’s not enough to be different anymore. In crowded B2B categories, you must be distinctive. Buyers don’t remember the slightly clever tagline or the 12th corporate navy booth. They remember what sticks.
Why you need to take control of what your team writes, before it’s too late.
Your brand voice is disappearing.
Not all at once. Not dramatically. Quietly. One AI-generated email at a time. One ChatGPT-written social post at a time. One Claude-crafted proposal at a time.
You won’t notice it happening. That’s the problem.
Internal decks sound off.
Sales emails feel templated.
Social posts read like they were generated in 10 seconds.
This is what happens when everyone on your team uses personal ChatGPT accounts to create content. No rules. No training. No context.
You’ve lost control of your tone of voice – one of the few things that actually makes your brand recognizable.
LinkedIn reach is declining for most B2B marketers, with median impressions down 13% between Q4 2024 and Q1 2025. But the top 1% of posts are breaking records.
Here’s what separates the winners from everyone else in 2025.
76% of business-to-business (B2B) attendees say they hate traditional events. Not dislike. Hate.
After a decade of recycled keynotes, cold booth pitches, and networking roulette, they’re over it. And yet, most event playbooks haven’t changed.
Yesterday, I saw this post from Megan at Refine Labs. As a brand-first marketer, it got me excited. We’re finally seeing more and more big names wake up to what’s been obvious, but underestimated all along: brand isn’t just “nice to have” – it’s the lever. The differentiator. The thing that makes the rest of your go-to-market work better.
I wholeheartedly agree with this framework, and that this is what works right now.
If you’re serious about sustainable growth, this is the lens you need.
So I figured it’s the perfect topic to write about today.
B2B marketing has a problem. We’re obsessed with tools, platforms, and automation while ignoring the most powerful asset we have: our experts.
Your subject matter experts (SMEs) are the difference between content that gets ignored and content that builds trust. Yet most companies waste this advantage by letting junior staff create their demand gen content.
Let’s fix that.
B2B marketing has a problem. We’re stuck in the past, optimizing for metrics that don’t matter while our prospects have moved on.
The traditional B2B funnel is broken. You know the one – gated content leading to MQLs, followed by nurture emails and sales outreach. This approach assumes that downloading an ebook signals buying intent. It doesn’t.
Most marketing teams have optimized for marketing qualified leads (MQLs) for years, believing that contact information left behind for a white paper or infographic indicates genuine interest in their product or service. This false assumption has led to wasted resources, frustrated sales teams, and missed revenue opportunities.
Let’s kill this outdated model and replace it with something that actually works.
Cracking social media these days feels like solving a Rubik’s Cube blindfolded—algorithms keep changing, and the competition’s fierce. But all is not lost.
Savvy business leaders can flip the script by using founder-led marketing strategies to spark meaningful conversations.
By taking an active, hands-on role in promoting the brand and sharing its story, founders can leverage their unique vision, authenticity, and authority to drive engagement and build a loyal audience.
The payoff? A growing following and a reputation as the go-to expert in their industry.
When it comes to conversion rate optimization (CRO), the difference between success and failure often comes down to one thing above all else: strategy.
Teams that have a clear, focused CRO strategy are able to build momentum and deliver strong return on investment (ROI) over large timespans.
Teams that don’t – who focus on quick, tactical wins and low-hanging fruit – will find that their results begin to dry up pretty quickly.
