What to Fix Before Making Your First Marketing Hire

Article, FeaturedApril 29, 2026412Views 0Likes 0Comments

Making your first marketing hire feels like progress. More output. More activity. Less on your plate. But if the strategy isn’t clear, the hire doesn’t solve the problem. It exposes it. Output increases. Confusion becomes visible. And time starts getting wasted. In this piece, we’ll cover: Why a marketing hire exposes problems rather than solving them Why…

Answer Engine Optimisation: How B2B Companies Become Visible in AI Search

ArticleMarch 25, 2026412Views 0Likes 0Comments

Ranking on Google used to be the only goal. Now there's a more unsettling question: does AI mention us at all? AI-powered search tools (ChatGPT, Perplexity, Google's AI Overviews, Claude) are changing how B2B buyers find answers. They don't return ten blue links and leave. They synthesise. They recommend. They draw conclusions. Which means your category might…

B2B Marketing Strategy When Everything is Moving Fast

ArticleFebruary 25, 2026412Views 0Likes 0Comments

A B2B marketing strategy breaks down when speed increases. Growth creates momentum, but it also compresses decision-making. Strategy stops being about planning. It becomes about making clear, consistent decisions under pressure. In this article: Why marketing breaks as the business speeds up When strategy starts to drift Why activity replaces strategy Why founder-led marketing…

Marketing Storytelling in B2B: Why Narrative Drives Growth

ArticleJanuary 28, 2026412Views 0Likes 0Comments

Marketing storytelling in B2B often breaks down as companies grow, not because teams stop producing work, but because the work stops reinforcing itself. As companies grow, communication expands. More people contribute, more channels appear, and the product continues to evolve. What once felt clear starts to fragment. At that point, coherence is the challenge rather than output. Not…

Why Clarity Beats Volume in B2B Marketing

ArticleDecember 17, 2025414Views 0Likes 0Comments

B2B marketing has a volume problem. More content, more channels, more activity. It looks like progress. It often isn’t. Clarity doesn’t come from saying more. It comes from deciding what not to say. That’s where most teams get stuck. As companies grow, pressure builds. Visibility matters more. Expectations rise. So output increases. But without clear decisions behind…

Positioning vs Narrative: the Difference Most B2B Companies Miss

ArticleOctober 22, 2025412Views 0Likes 0Comments

Positioning gets a lot of attention in B2B. Teams invest in defining their positioning strategy, align on it, and move on. Then it meets the real world. Content goes live. Sales conversations start. And the message begins to drift. Different teams explain the same thing in different ways. The value takes longer to land. The issue isn’t the…

What is ICP? Practical ways to define your target audience

ArticleAugust 15, 2025404Views 0Likes 0Comments

An ICP, or Ideal Customer Profile, is the type of company your product is built for. Not just anyone who could buy from you. The ones who get the most value, buy quickly, stay longest, and tell others. It isn’t a buyer persona. And it isn’t “anyone in SaaS.” Your ICP is a sharp, shared…

Why Most B2B Messaging Collapses Under Pressure

ArticleJuly 30, 2025411Views 0Likes 0Comments

B2B messaging doesn’t usually break when things are slow. It breaks when things start working. Growth adds pressure. More channels. More opinions. More urgency to be visible. What follows isn’t clarity. It’s volume. Messaging expands to keep up, but coherence slips. Different teams say different things. The story starts to stretch. What once felt sharp becomes harder to…

Activity is not Strategy: Strategy vs Tactics in Marketing

ArticleJune 25, 2025422Views 0Likes 0Comments

More marketing doesn’t mean better results. When decisions aren’t clear, activity expands but outcomes don’t. Strategy sets direction. Tactics create movement. When they’re aligned, execution compounds. When they’re not, it resets. This is where most teams get stuck. Output increases, but it doesn’t build. The founder gets pulled back in to reconnect work that should…

Why Technical Founders Struggle With B2B Product Marketing

ArticleMay 21, 2025413Views 0Likes 0Comments

Most technical founders know their product better than anyone. They can explain the architecture, walk through the logic, and defend every decision made along the way. But when it comes to explaining it to the market? That's a different challenge entirely. B2B product marketing is about helping the right people understand why it matters to them,…
