How to Develop Commercial Discipline as a Service-led Business23 Apr 202400:35:50

In this episode, I’m excited to be joined by Yiuwin Tsang, CEO of Disruptive Thinking. 

I was really interested in speaking with Yiuwin to unpack his journey in finding differentiation in an incredibly saturated sector - B2B marketing services. 

During this interview, he took us through his journey from a blank slate to a thriving agency, sharing his blueprint around three core pillars of growth - building the right team, implementing discipline around business development, and getting to grips with the customer journey - all while building the right systems and process to track and analyse efforts. 

If you work in a small, service-led business and are hitting a wall when it comes to growth - this is the episode for you.

How to Think About Marketing in a HYPER Niche Market02 Sep 202500:30:46

In this episode, I speak with Frans Swarttouw, Founder of GETTING THE MARKET

I was really interested in speaking to Frans as a fellow owner of a creative services business - and one that is so niche in its target market to boot.

How does the company differentiate from more generic, we do all things for all people, type agencies?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of being so laser-focused on a specific niche?

And when you have become the big fish in a small pond - what comes next? How do you expand in a meaningful and sustainable way?

To answer these questions, Frans shared his insights on developing a personalised email campaign targeting new geographies and how he approaches validating a prospecting ‘hypothesis’ through A/B testing.

How to How to Rethink Trade Shows for Real ROI w/ Leslie Venetz07 Nov 202300:37:19

**Thanks to Hubspot for sponsoring this episode.**

Today, I spoke with Leslie Venetz, Founder of Sales Team Builder.

It's budgeting season, and you know what that means! Marketers across the globe are sitting down to try and figure out whether spending a six-figure sum on a booth at a trade show is still a good idea.

Especially when that booth has historically yielded little to no ROI.

There has to be a better way, right? That's what Leslie and I try to answer.

We sat down to discuss why a lot of trade show activations fail to deliver a return on investment, how to strategise for brand awareness versus pipeline generation, and why ego plays a big role in decisions around marketing spend.

This is a must-listen for anyone who is responsible for delivering a trade show activation and needs some fresh thinking on how to justify the expense.

How to Collaborate with Partners to Grow Your Podcast w/ Lauren Lynch31 Aug 202300:32:31

In this episode, I speak with Lauren Lynch, who previously was Director of Marketing at Set Solutions, a Trace 3 company.

We had a really interesting conversation on a strategy she deployed to both fund and grow a popular podcast with IT professionals by leveraging 'Marketing Development Funds' - i.e. budget she was awarded through reseller agreements to run promotional campaigns.

Lauren went right back to the start of the initiative, from how she got started, won buy-in from the C-suite, looked beyond downloads as a success metric and discovered new, unique ways of driving growth.

I also share some tips on how to capture email addresses from a brand-owned podcast (something you NEED to be thinking about if you want CFO sign-off) and how to attribute success to the medium.

Hint - it's not downloads.

This is a must-listen for anyone who wants to launch a media brand, start a podcast, or experiment with new channels but need to know how to get buy-in from the C-suite.

How to Do Customer-led Growth w/ Georgiana Laudi16 Aug 202300:27:30

In this episode, I talk to Georgiana Laudi, Co-founder of Forget the Funnel. 

We talk about why the conventional marketing funnel is fundamentally broken (so stop using it) and what needs to take its place - actually talking to customers to figure out what they need and how to build a strategic plan that moves the needle. 

Gia also shares a step-by-step breakdown of her Customer-led Growth Framework, developed alongside Co-founder Claire Suellentrop, how to gather insights when actually getting a client on the phone is impossible, and what customer discovery looks like in startup versus enterprise.

Q&A on Building a Podcast for Your B2B Company28 Jul 202500:32:08

Raw, authentic, slightly tired... no, this is not the description of my upcoming country album.

  4. How do I generate customer insights from my podcast series?

She recently produced SaaSOpen - a 500+ person conference in New York that brought together the best and brightest from the world of software.

How to Incorporate PR into a Multi-Channel Strategy26 Mar 202400:40:15

In this episode, I speak with Xanthe Vaughan Williams, Co-founder of Fourth Day.

I started my marketing career working in PR and have always been involved in it in some way or another, working both in-house and agency-side.

What has struck me over the last decade is that - particularly in B2B - there are some pretty fundamental misconceptions about what PR actually is AND how to build a programme that drives real results.

During this conversation, Xanthe and I dissect the blurring lines between earned, owned and shared media, building value and credibility through third-party endorsements, and developing a successful multi-channel strategy centred around your company founder.

Plus, no episode of B2B Better is complete without insights on how a new strategy can deliver business results. Expect to hear Maria and Andrew share how they are measuring success on TikTok and the kind of results seen so far.

How to Leverage Niche Marketing for Greater Commercial Impact w/ Callum McGranaghan12 Mar 202400:35:16

Callum also shared the importance of multi-channel outreach, and how segmenting your audience profiles is crucial for standing out in crowded markets.

He also shared his journey at Social for Good, which involved really understanding what drives customer decision-making and then using this research to develop a value proposition that aligns with those needs.

This is a story of rejecting the status quo in how to win new business even in traditional industries. 

We covered: 

  • What are the three core principles of building a successful TikTok strategy?
  • How did VILPE jump from 20k to 80k followers in eight weeks?

How to Nail B2B Content Distribution w/ Ross Simmonds23 Aug 202200:35:25

In this episode, I sit down with Ross Simmonds, Founder and CEO of Foundation Marketing.

We had a great conversation on B2B case studies - namely, how to create ones that stand out from the usual legal-has-killed-all-joy-from-this-piece-of-content crap that fills our feeds.

We also covered a topic near and dear to my heart - what can I do to convince a sceptical customer to sign off a case study? There are a bunch of different methods Joel shared, but the one that stood out to me was creating an 'anonymous' case study.

How to Unlock New Revenue Through Personalised Outreach w/ Nick Patterson27 Feb 202400:37:12
