How the Enterprise Content Engine Works: Season Wrap-up
Season 3 · Episode 15
Tuesday, August 26, 2025 • Duration 24:11
In this season-two wrap-up, Animalz hosts Ty Magnin and Tim Metz distill insights from over a dozen enterprise content leaders into actionable takeaways for content marketers. Enterprises are slower to adopt AI than startups due to risk and brand scrutiny, and the “role of content” varies widely, from being a measurable growth lever (like Zapier’s 454% ROI) to a strategic support function for complex sales (Autodesk, Microsoft).
High-impact “big bets” succeed by building on smaller wins over years, while the most effective teams require every content pitch to secure distribution channels before production. Ultimately, governance, analytics, and intake processes determine success at scale. As Ty and Tim put it: “It’s about matching the role of content to the business model.”

Kirti Sharma (Adobe) on Original Content AI Can’t Copy — and Buyers Remember
Season 3 · Episode 12
Tuesday, August 5, 2025 • Duration 43:56
Kirti Sharma runs marketing for Adobe Learning Manager and Captivate. She starts every plan with product marketing insights, treating them like a sixth sense. A 2,000-person survey feeds reports, keynotes, and posts that AI tools cannot copy, while channels follow, not lead.

Season 3 · Episode 7
