What are the benefits of being an in-house marketer vs freelance, and how does that compare to agency work?
Sam Hembree and Brooklin Nash are two of the Co-founders at Beam, the agency providing long-form B2B content that all starts with a conversation.
Daniel, Sam and Brooklin get into how Beam came about and the content problems it’s answering, why freelancing isn’t for everyone, and why young marketers should always say yes to new opportunities.
And thanks to our episode sponsor, Retention. What do brands like Warby Parker, Dr. Squatch, Vital Proteins, and Blendjet all have in common? Retention.com is their highest performing ROAS channel by far. Visit Retention.com to book a demo today.
