In this episode of the Funky Marketing Podcast, Nemanja Zivkovic talks with Sam Kuehnle, VP of Marketing at Loxo, about how B2B companies can strategically use speed to dominate demand generation and stand out in competitive markets.
Whether you're in a startup or a larger B2B organization, this conversation will provide you with actionable insights to refine your marketing strategies, align marketing with sales, and improve your demand generation efforts.
Sam dives into how Loxo revolutionized its approach by focusing on speed and efficiency, all while tackling the challenges of balancing demand creation with demand capture. They also explore how modern B2B companies can utilize empathy and personalization in their strategies to drive customer success.
Key Actionable Steps for B2B Companies:
1. Move Fast, Iterate Faster: Test campaigns, gather insights, and optimize quickly to outmaneuver larger, slower competitors.
2. Demand Creation vs. Demand Capture: Prioritize demand creation in emerging markets to build brand awareness, and shift to demand capture tactics when leads are further down the funnel.
3. Emphasize Data-Driven Marketing: Use clear metrics that align with sales goals. Avoid vanity metrics like MQLs and focus on pipeline and revenue impact.
4. Align Marketing & Sales: Create unified goals between your marketing and sales teams, ensuring that both departments are working toward the same revenue objectives.
5. Personalize at Scale: While true empathy can't be automated, leverage scalable personalization tactics such as one-to-one outreach in key stages of the buyer's journey.
6. Focus on Customer Success Early: As you scale, shift attention to customer success to retain clients, reduce churn, and grow accounts, especially in long sales-cycle B2B environments.
7. Prepare for Multichannel Attribution: Simplify attribution tracking with tech-minimalist tools and make sure you measure pipeline progress to ensure long-term growth.
Key Takeaways:
- The advantages of speed in B2B demand generation and how fast iterations help you stay ahead.
- The balance between demand creation and demand capture, and how each strategy plays a role in scaling B2B businesses.
- How empathy and personalization can humanize your B2B marketing and increase customer retention.
- Why aligning marketing goals with sales objectives is essential for pipeline success in B2B companies.
- Real-world examples of failures and how to learn from them to build better B2B marketing strategies.

In the latest episode of the Funky Marketing Podcast, I had the pleasure of sitting down with Roman from Grouts Online, a true expert in B2B SaaS marketing. We dove deep into the nitty-gritty of paid search and social strategies, and let me tell you, there are some game-changing insights you won't want to miss.
💡 Key Takeaways:
Paid Search vs. Paid Social: Understand the strengths and limitations of each. Paid search can give you quick wins, especially in less competitive spaces, while paid social is more of a slow burn, gradually building awareness and trust over time.
Setting Up for Success: Start with a solid foundation—know your audience, refine your targeting, and never underestimate the power of a well-crafted landing page.
Creative Content: In today’s crowded digital landscape, your ads need to stand out. We talked about the power of memes, thought leadership ads, and why your creatives should feel organic and engaging.
LinkedIn Ads on a Budget: Whether you're working with under 5k or have more to spend, the approach needs to be strategic. Retargeting, audience insights, and experimenting with content are key to maximizing ROI.
Self-Reported Attribution: Don’t just rely on the numbers—get the qualitative data too. It’s crucial for understanding how your marketing efforts are truly impacting your audience.

Today, I had the pleasure of speaking with Adam Kirch, a seasoned messaging strategist and B2B conversion copywriter.
Adam is not just any copywriter; he's a B2B SaaS copywriter and messaging strategist who has mastered the art of turning vague homepage messaging into clear, compelling, and conversion-driven narratives.
He’s helped fast-growing startups like Helios.io, Raft.io, and neptune.ai transform their web presence, leading to impressive results—think 80% conversion lifts and 56% more qualified leads.
He shared some invaluable insights on how SaaS companies can elevate their messaging to stand out in crowded markets.
Key Takeaways:
Customer-Centric Messaging:
Many companies make the mistake of crafting messages too close to their own perspective, rather than their customers'. Adam emphasized the importance of truly understanding your customers—know what they value and why they choose your product over competitors. Your homepage messaging should reflect this deep understanding, not just generic benefits like "faster" or "easier."
The Importance of Differentiation:
In competitive SaaS markets, differentiation is key. Adam pointed out that many SaaS homepages look the same because they all try to meet customer expectations in the same way. However, it's crucial to highlight what makes your product unique as early as possible on the homepage to capture attention and stand out.
Structuring the Homepage:
Adam recommends using a messaging hierarchy that presents information in the order customers need to hear it. This means leading with differentiation and addressing the customer's main concerns upfront. Avoid cramming the page with unnecessary information; instead, focus on building trust and clearly communicating your value proposition.
Testing and Iteration:
Validate your messaging with your target audience using tools like Winter or Usertesting.com. Adam shared a cautionary tale of a company that saw a 90% drop in conversions after redoing their homepage messaging without customer input. Regularly iterate on your homepage based on customer feedback and performance metrics.
Action Steps:
Talk to Your Customers: Gather direct feedback to understand their pain points and what they value most about your product.
Refine Your Homepage: Ensure your homepage clearly differentiates your product and aligns with customer expectations.
Test Your Messaging: Use tools and customer feedback to validate and refine your messaging continuously.
Adam's insights remind us that effective messaging isn't just about what we want to say—it's about what our customers need to hear. Let's get closer to our customers and let their voices guide our messaging strategies.

Here are some key takeaways and recommended actions from our discussion:
Key Insights:
Post-Acquisition Marketing: Shiv emphasized the importance of foundational elements in post-acquisition marketing, such as getting TAM and segmentation right, ensuring strong product marketing, and having the necessary sales enablement resources in place.
Value Creation: Investors acquiring companies aim to uncover value creation levers. Shiv discussed the crucial role of a strong marketing strategy in enhancing enterprise value post-acquisition.
The First 100 Days: The first quarter after an acquisition is pivotal. Shiv outlined the critical steps companies should take in this period, including getting data in order, reallocating budgets, and ensuring the right team is in place.
Understanding Core Business: Shiv advised companies, especially those transitioning from services to products, to clearly define their core business and expand into adjacencies that complement their strengths.
Diversified Go-to-Market Strategy: Shiv discussed the importance of a diversified go-to-market strategy, leveraging channels like LinkedIn for thought leadership but relying on strong partnerships and direct relationships for business growth.
Recommended Actions:
Focus on Fundamentals: Whether you're a newly acquired company or preparing for acquisition, ensure that your foundational marketing elements are robust.
Prioritize the First 100 Days: Post-acquisition, focus on getting your data in order, setting up actionable steps based on data insights, and ensuring the right team and budget are in place.

In this episode of the Funky Marketing Podcast, I had an enlightening conversation with Peter Caputa, the CEO of Databox. Peter shared invaluable insights from his extensive experience in scaling SaaS companies, including his journey from bootstrapping Databox to achieving significant revenue growth. Here are some key takeaways and recommended actions from our discussion:
Key Insights:
- Bootstrapping vs. Venture Capital: Peter highlighted the benefits and challenges of bootstrapping Databox, emphasizing its freedom and flexibility compared to the fast-paced, high-pressure environment of venture capital-backed growth.
- Three Types of Agencies: Peter outlined three distinct approaches he sees among marketing agencies:
Check-the-Box Reporting: Agencies that do minimal reporting, often trying to make the process seem more complex than it is.
Client-Partner Agencies: Agencies that integrate deeply with their clients, ensuring campaigns generate ROI by connecting various data points (advertising, sales, finance) for comprehensive insights.
Strategic Agencies: Highly sophisticated firms acting as strategic partners, helping clients make sense of their data, compare performance, and connect business goals to actionable strategies.
- Evolution of Inbound and Content Marketing: The landscape has shifted dramatically. Inbound marketing now requires more sophisticated, multi-channel strategies. Simply publishing educational content is no longer enough. Successful strategies involve creating demand, telling compelling stories, and engaging with audiences across different platforms.
Importance of Data Integration: Peter stressed the need for businesses to consolidate their data into a single platform to enable better decision-making and leverage AI for performance insights.
- Empowering Teams with Data: Empowering team members with access to performance data is crucial for driving informed decisions and improving overall company performance.
Recommended Actions:
1. Consider Bootstrapping: If you’re starting a SaaS company, weigh the pros and cons of bootstrapping versus seeking venture capital. Bootstrapping can offer more control and less pressure to scale rapidly.
Identify Your Agency Type: Reflect on which of the three agency approaches your business aligns with and strive towards a more strategic partnership model with your clients.
2. Innovate Your Content Strategy: Move beyond traditional SEO. Focus on creating high-quality, multi-channel content that includes data-driven insights and engages your audience through various formats and platforms.
3. Integrate Your Data: Ensure all your business data is pulled into a single platform. This will not only help in making better decisions but also in leveraging AI to uncover insights that might be missed manually.
4. Empower Your Team: Make performance data accessible to your team members. Educate them on how different metrics impact the business to foster a culture of informed decision-making.

In the latest episode of the Funky Marketing Podcast, I tackled some of the most pressing questions I get from you all. Here's a quick rundown of the key insights we covered:
1. Demand Creation vs. Demand Capture: A Balanced Approach
- Demand Creation involves generating awareness and interest among potential customers who aren't actively looking for your product. It's about planting seeds for future opportunities.
- Demand Capture focuses on converting interest into action from those already in the market to buy. Think PPC, SEO, and retargeting ads.
- Why Balance is Key: Companies that only focus on demand capture miss out on 95% of potential customers who aren't yet in the market but could be in the future.
2. Building Relationships with Your CFO
- Aligning marketing goals with financial objectives ensures you get the necessary budget and support.
- Regular communication helps the finance team understand the long-term value of your strategies, not just short-term gains.
- Strong relationships mean your CFO can advocate for your marketing budget, understanding the value of your strategies.
3. Importance of Small, Agile Marketing Teams
- Speed and Flexibility: Smaller teams can pivot quickly and adapt to market changes without bureaucracy.
- Efficiency and Innovation: Smaller teams often find creative solutions, maximizing resources to deliver impactful campaigns.
- Alignment and Focus: Easier to ensure everyone is aligned with the same goals, leading to more cohesive and focused efforts.
4. Effective Metrics Beyond MQLs and Demo Requests
- Cost Per Opportunity (CPO): Measures the efficiency of marketing spend.
- Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC): Total cost of acquiring a new customer, including marketing and sales expenses.
- Pipeline Velocity: Tracks the speed at which leads move through the sales funnel, indicating sales process efficiency.
- Engagement Metrics: Time spent engaging with content, social media interactions, and email behavior.
- Brand Awareness: Social listening tools and self-reported attribution questions in forms.
I hope these insights help you in your marketing journey! Feel free to share your thoughts and ask any questions. Let’s keep the conversation going. 🎙️

In our latest Funky Marketing Podcast episode, I had the pleasure of hosting Andi Jarvis, Strategy Director at Eximo Marketing and the Strategy Sessions podcast host. Andi shared incredible insights on how customer feedback can revolutionize your marketing strategy.
Actionable Tips:
1. Conduct Regular Customer Conversations:
Schedule regular calls or meetings with your customers to discuss their experiences and gather feedback. Focus on understanding their problems, not just their desires. Ask questions like, "What challenges are you facing?" rather than "What do you want?"
2. Differentiate Between Strategy and Tactics:
Clearly define your business goals and target audience (strategy).
Develop specific actions to reach these goals (tactics), ensuring they align with your overall strategy. Regularly review and adjust your tactics to stay on course.
3. Master the Fundamentals:
Ensure your basic processes and systems are solid. This includes having clear messaging, a user-friendly website, and reliable customer service.
Regularly revisit and refine these fundamentals to avoid long-term issues.
4. Engage Directly with Customers:
Don’t rely solely on focus groups or third-party research. Engage directly with your customers through surveys, interviews, and feedback forms.
Use complaints as opportunities to learn and improve your products or services.
5. Maintain Brand Consistency:
Keep your brand identity consistent across all platforms and interactions. This includes visual elements, tone of voice, and customer service.
Regularly communicate your brand values and mission to all employees to ensure a unified representation.
6. Test and Learn:
Use small-scale tests to gather data and insights before committing to large-scale campaigns. Experiment with different markets or customer segments to identify new opportunities.
7. Prioritize Customer Experience:
Ensure every interaction with your brand leaves a positive impression. This can be through timely responses, helpful support, or personalized experiences. Regularly review customer touchpoints and make improvements based on feedback.
8. Focus on Solving Customer Problems:
Create content and solutions that address specific customer pain points at different stages of their journey. Move beyond just providing information—aim to guide customers towards the next step in their decision-making process.
9. Balance Performance and Brand Marketing:
Invest in both performance marketing (short-term sales) and brand marketing (long-term brand building). Aim for a balance, such as the 60/40 rule (60% brand, 40% performance), but adjust based on your industry and goals.
9. Stay Nimble and Adapt:
Be prepared to adjust your strategy based on new data and market changes.
Encourage a culture of flexibility and continuous improvement within your team.
Tune In Now! This episode is packed with practical advice and real-world examples that can help you fine-tune your marketing strategy. Don't miss out on Andi's expert insights!

As a B2B marketer, you know that content is the cornerstone of your strategy - it helps build awareness, establish your brand, and drive sales. However, simply creating content is not enough. Execution is where many B2B companies fall short.I dove deep into the most common reasons why B2B content marketing fails and share practical strategies to overcome these challenges.Lack of a clear content strategy is a major pitfall. Without a roadmap, defined goals, and measurable metrics, your content creation becomes inconsistent and misaligned with your business objectives. This leads to missed opportunities and unmeasurable results.The complexity of B2B marketing also poses a significant hurdle. Before you even start creating content, you need to have your company narrative, messaging, and overall content strategy nailed down. Only then can you optimize your content for search, social platforms, and your target audience.Resource constraints, including time, skills, and funding, can severely hinder your B2B content marketing efforts. The key is to start small, measure results, and then invest further as you see what's working.Misaligned expectations around quick wins and a lack of patience for long-term content marketing strategies often lead to frustration and abandonment of efforts. Content marketing requires consistent, ongoing effort and investment to see significant results.Poor content quality due to lack of research, unclear messaging, and ineffective formats can prevent audience engagement and conversion. Ensuring your content provides value, speaks directly to your buyers' needs, and is delivered in an engaging way is crucial.Insufficient promotion and distribution of your content is a common mistake, leading to low visibility and impact. Leverage social media, email marketing, SEO, and other channels to get your content in front of the right people.Lastly, adapting to industry trends, platform changes, and evolving audience behaviors is key to staying ahead of the curve in B2B content marketing. Continuously monitor and adjust your strategies to keep up with the ever-changing landscape.By addressing these common pitfalls and implementing the strategies shared in this episode, you can set your B2B content marketing efforts up for long-term success.
