Demand generation consultants are easy to compare badly. A long service menu tells you almost nothing. The useful question is whether the firm matches the constraint you have right now: a founder whose point of view isn’t reaching buyers, a messy handoff between marketing and sales, or a paid program that needs someone to own
Google Display Network alternatives are a sensible thing to think about for your marketing campaigns once you realize that GDN ads are Rife with clickfraud and A huge pain to maintain and turn into something that *can* make you money But it’s not just a tech swap. You’ll want to think about a few other
YouTube ads for Shorts can help a B2B team stay top of mind when buyers are working through a problem. They don’t do the whole job alone. A buyer may watch a clip, leave, then search the category or brand days later. That’s normal for a longer sales cycle. Start with the buyer question. Pull
Upper Funnel vs Lower Funnel is a useful distinction, right up until a team starts treating it like a machine. They buy awareness, wait for people to slide into a demo request, and act surprised when nothing happens. Then the channel gets blamed. Buyers don’t move that way. They learn about a problem, ignore it
Most founders don’t have a content problem. They have a founder-time problem. They know what they believe. They know which customer problems keep showing up. They’ve got opinions about the category, the product, and the advice that makes their customers’ lives worse. Then they open LinkedIn after a long day and try to turn all
On my own channel in 2026, YouTube views ran below $0.03 compared with Google search clicks over $7. One channel, not a client panel.
Most B2B SaaS go-to-market strategies fail because you throw everything at the wall, assume something sticks, and have 3 smart, busy people who work hard and don’t move the needle. What a waste. That usually looks like this: paid ads are running, sales is doing outbound, somebody’s writing blog posts, and the product team’s pushing
If you’re running Facebook / Instagram ads in 2026 and they’re not working for you, you only need to know 3 things to improve: make it real, test vigorously, make it scale. This isn’t me guessing: this is based on analyzing just over $100M in ad spend in the last 9 months. Make it real:
I’m aware that sounded like I had a stroke. All the AI slop on the internet sounds like the same person: confident, helpful, corporate, and allergic to a sentence that runs longer than ten words. It’s a decent writer, but it doesn’t sound like you, and that’s fixable even though I’d bet money you don’t
I keep seeing people on X and YouTube saying there’s this skill that replaces their entire marketing team with a $20/month Claude subscription and OpenClaw. You have to understand two things: I speak here as a tremendous supporter of AI, somebody who has been adding more and more agentic work into my startup, into my
I spent three hours last week watching a founder ask ChatGPT to write his product roadmap. Three. Hours. By the end, he had a beautifully formatted document full of generic priorities that could have applied to any SaaS company. He’d automated the wrong thing. The Fundamental Mistake Everyone Makes Most founders treat AI like a
Most founders think content marketing means sitting down with ChatGPT and asking it to write their next LinkedIn post. They’re wrong. Here’s what I learned after watching hundreds of founders burn through months of content creation without moving the needle: you can’t start with AI. You have to start with you. The Content Creation Problem
I Have 27 Half-Built Projects. Now I Can Search All Their Backlogs With One Command. I counted. Twenty-seven projects in my dev folder. Some are actively shipping.

A few months ago, I spent $200 a week on YouTube ads for an enterprise AI company. Their organic search traffic jumped 300% 24 hours after I turned the ads on. Cost per lead? $13. For enterprise software. That’s not a typo. Two hundred dollars weekly created dozens of qualified searches and enterprise signups at
Running ads alone? Your revenue stays flat. Doing only outbound? You’re burning cash. Content marketing by itself? Growth crawls. But combine all three through the 3 C’s framework, and startups see 30% to 3x higher revenue. Here’s why siloed marketing kills growth and how integration saves it. The Single Channel Trap Most startups pick one

Your marketing team celebrates great metrics. Your ads get clicks. Your content gets views. Your outbound gets responses. Yet revenue stays flat. Sound familiar? The problem isn’t your channels. It’s their fragmentation. Here’s how to build an integrated marketing engine that actually drives revenue. The Revenue-First Approach Marketing teams optimize for their metrics: Each hits
Four months of planning. Countless meetings. A summer campaign that would finally unlock growth. Launch day arrives and… the tracking breaks. Or the landing page crashes. Or the video plays in German. Sound familiar? You’re not alone. Even I admit: “I’m bad at marketing. Most campaigns fail at some point. It’s just how it goes.”

The “just checking in” email is dead. If you’re still sending these generic follow-ups, you’re likely getting blocked or ignored.

B2B companies face a critical choice in 2024: Keep paying $320+ per qualified lead through traditional methods, or adopt a new approach that’s revolutionizing lead generation. Forward-thinking companies now pay just $20 to generate leads and $60 to qualify them, cutting costs by 75% while maintaining quality. This shift isn’t about finding cheaper leads. It’s
Every business needs three things to grow: the right audience, their trust, and meaningful conversations with them. Yet most companies rush to scale before mastering these fundamentals.
