With recent bank failures, rising inflation, and AI threatening to replace human employees in a wide range of industries, there’s a lot of scary noise in the marketplace right now. It can all feel like a bit too much. And as marketers, we already have a bit too much to do. What does the future look like? Where is the economy heading? How can we be “recession proof?”

That’s why we’re (re)introducing (Re)Sessions, a special four-episode series we've curated to answer the questions on every marketer's mind when dealing with the most certain thing — uncertainty. You'll hear from content marketing leaders and get their take on what may lay ahead — Rachel Downey, Founder and Executive Producer at Share Your Genius, Jeff Coyle, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer at MarketMuse, Devin Bramhall, former CEO of the content marketing agency Animalz, and Julian Lewis, Co-founder of StudioPod Media.

In this series, host Lindsay Tjepkema digs deep with each expert to get their advice on what to do when budgets get slashed, headcount gets lowered, and the marketer’s to-do list gets longer. For instance, while it might be tempting for some brands to liquidate their marketing teams and budgets, long-term growth depends on maintaining a relevant brand presence in the market and investing in innovation, technology, and automation where appropriate. 

While no strategy can guarantee total immunity from a recession, marketers can be better prepared and proactive in helping their businesses navigate uncertainties more effectively.

Are you frustrated with your ABM efforts despite creating quality content and promotion? As B2B marketers, we often get carried away with creating generic, one-size-fits-all content that fails to connect with our target audience on a personal level. 

That's where the power of personalized podcasting comes in, driving stronger relationships, better engagement, and more sales.

Our special guest Jim Gilkey, an experienced Senior Account Executive at Terminus and host of Account Based Beverages, joins us to discuss how to build genuine relationships in the B2B marketing landscape, leverage the potential of podcasting in amplifying your account-based marketing initiatives, and avoid the trap of superficial personalization. Learn the critical factors for measuring the success of your podcasting efforts in tandem with your ABM strategies and prepare for the next wave of B2B podcasting with innovative content styles.

Listen in for:

👫 5:03-6:02 Why building genuine relationships is essential in the B2B marketing landscape.

🛠️ 09:28 - 13:40 Building your ABM strategy begins with investing in your community

🌟 15:39 - 20:32 We've entered a new era of marketing initiatives.

💡21:24 - 24:35 Your ABM strategy is a marathon, not a sprint. Trust the process, measure what you can

There is a lot of noise in the marketplace, from whiplash headlines to predictions galore. What does the future look like? Where is the economy heading? How can we be ‘recession proof’?

It can all feel a bit too much. And as marketers, we already have a bit too much to do.

Introducing (Re)Sessions, a special four-episode series we've curated to answer the questions on every marketer's mind when dealing with the most certain thing - uncertainty.

You'll hear from four industry leaders in content marketing to get their take on what may lay ahead—Rachel Downey, Founder and Executive Producer of Share Your Genius, Julian Lewis, Co-founder of StudioPod Media, Devin Bramhall, CEO of the content marketing agency Animalz, and Jeff Coyle, Co-founder and Chief Strategy Officer for MarketMuse.

In this series, host Lindsay Tjepkema digs deep with each expert to get their advice on what to do when the noise gets a bit too loud and, more accurately, what to do when budgets get slashed, headcount gets lowered, and the list gets longer.

The one thing you will learn is there are opportunities and creative solutions to win—no matter what.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned from today’s social media landscape, it’s this - people crave authenticity.

Meg Johnson, Manager of Creative Strategy at OpenView, believes that the key to building a genuine connection with your audience is through being vulnerable and building trust over time.

“The first step to resonating is creating some sort of connection over a shared memory or a shared story - a vision.”

🤔 3:12 - 4:59 Is authenticity scalable?

👩‍🔬 12:07 - 13:47 How to test and refine content
