A hundred percent agree. I think there is a time and a place for all that, but I think as marketers, people that live further up in the funnel, we just have to do a better job of being a guide as opposed to being sellers."The B2B Content Show is produced by Connversa, a podcast production agency helping B2B brands connecting with prospects, generates TONS of content, and grow revenue.

One is kind of, how to work with your counterpart at geographies. The other one is really, you know, what are the types of content that you need to be aware to scale.""We modify the messaging and once you modify the messaging, everything's trickling down.""I don't believe that the ownership of content should be 100% corporate or 100%, say, at the geography level because if each geo creates their own content and they don't necessarily have a central force to have it communicate, it creates a lot of duplication and also inefficiency."The B2B Content Show is produced by Connversa, a podcast production agency helping B2B brands connecting with prospects, generates TONS of content, and grow revenue.

So we believe that we can actually improve outcomes, but in order to say, you can improve outcomes, you need to show what the before and the benchmark is and what the out outcomes are. And so we believe that we establish our authority by using data and establishing credibility.""It is one of our brand features is that everyone knows that we know all the data and that has driven a lot of indirect traffic back to us. Not just the traditional outbound, you know, sales and marketing effort and then response. But really that halo back to us, along with a whole number of other things.""

The blue oceans, you know, the questions that our prospective customers are trying to get answers to that wouldn't show up in keyword research that maybe they're just asking one on one, but people don't even know about.""You almost have to have dog ears, I say, instead of just human ears to identify these types of blue ocean topics because the sales reps and other people that are on the call will just sort of disregard them, but they're nuggets of gold for us on the marketing side.""It's a little bit of a scavenger hunt.

Now, creative was always a component of it because creative is actually what you saw once you were targeted by one of those algorithms. But no one really knew how that creative was performing because it was always really based on an emotion.""You create competitive advantage for your business with data. And so the more data you have, the more competitive advantage you have.""I think the content, being able to cut through on these digital platforms and be relevant and then be understood and allowed to be optimized, I think is gonna be just incredibly important as we go into the next 10 years."The B2B Content Show is produced by Connversa, a podcast production agency helping B2B brands connecting with prospects, generates TONS of content, and grow revenue.
