When Myra El-Bayoumi joined Redis as VP Brand and Corporate Marketing, she was handed two pretty major challenges: modernise the brand, and build a world-class internal agency from scratch. Oh, and do it all in six months.On this episode of The Changemakers, Dave sits down with Myra to unpack how she evolved one of tech's most beloved brands without alienating its developer audience. Myra walks through the brief she inherited in September 2023: refresh a brand with serious heritage, build a quality internal agency, and do it all before a licensing change landed. She shares the research approach that kept developers at the table, the origins of Redis's striking new identity, and the CEO-level trust that made bold, fast decisions possible. A must-listen for any marketers and brand-builders out there tasked with modernising heritage-rich brands. Whether you're driving a complex transformation or navigating high-stakes stakeholder management, Myra's take on "direction, not directive" leadership offers a masterclass in moving fast without breaking the soul of your brand.Timestamps00:21 - Myra's path from agency to in-house2:33 - Joining Redis: why the people you work for matter most03:59 - What Redis does in the real-time data era04:46 - Modernizing the brand and building an internal agency07:15 - Evolution vs. revolution: determining what to keep and what to kill09:34 - Using research to guide high-stakes brand decisions11:57 - How to rebrand a tech giant in just six months.15:48 - The "Direction, Not Directive" Rule: navigating CEO and founder feedback25:50 - Code is like a poem: the origin story of the Redis visual identity34:36 - The Baukunst Collective: exploring the intersection of design and VCSend us a message if you enjoyed this episodeIf you enjoy the chats then there are more ways to quench your thirst for creative inspiration in the world of B2B tech.

RSAC Conference 2026 made one thing impossible to miss: AI is on every sticker, every slide, and every booth. Sorting signal from marketing has never been harder. Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, joins this Brand Highlight to continue a conversation that started on the show floor in San Francisco and was worth picking up again once the noise settled. Stellar Cyber has been incorporating machine learning into every layer of its security platform since 2015, well before AI became the marketing default. The position Lisa Liu brings is direct: AI is not a one-size-fits-all solution. A large language model is not the most efficient way to parse log data, and slapping an AI label on existing functionality is not the same as designing for the analyst pain points at every stage of detection, investigation, and response. The conversation closes on the autonomous SOC question, where Stellar Cyber argues for a human-augmented approach. Promises of complete autonomy deserve healthy skepticism; guardrails matter, and keeping a human analyst in the loop is what allows AI mistakes to be caught and contained before they cascade. It is a Brand Highlight worth a few minutes for anyone trying to separate AI substance from AI theater in security operations. This is a Brand Highlight. A Brand Highlight is a ~5 minute introductory conversation designed to put a spotlight on the guest and their company.

In this episode of The Influence Factor, Alessandro Bogliari chats with Robin Ross, AVP of Corporate Marketing at Costco, shares insights into the company's marketing journey, the evolution of social media strategies, and the importance of community engagement. He discusses his mission to amplify employee ideas, the challenges of navigating customer feedback, and the balance between brand identity and current trends. Robin emphasizes the significance of user-generated content and the need to adapt to various social media platforms while considering the future of long-form content.

Security teams have more data than ever -- and less confidence in it. Angelos Kottas, VP of Product and Corporate Marketing at Axonius, opens by sharing a striking finding from the Axonius Actionability Report: 55% of CISOs still run their environments off spreadsheets, and fewer than 20% have daily updates to their asset data. The result is a gap between what organizations think they know and what is actually happening across their digital real estate. Axonius was founded in 2017 after its co-founders witnessed a Fortune 100 retailer go into crisis during a live security incident -- unable to identify which assets were impacted or who owned them. That founding story still frames the company's mission: give security teams a comprehensive, enriched, and current view of every asset so they can stop flying blind. But Kottas argues that visibility alone is no longer the goal. Axonius launched its exposure management product at RSAC Conference 2025 -- its most successful product launch to date -- and the message from customers is consistent: what used to take weeks now takes hours or minutes. The platform now enables teams to move from discovery to coverage gap analysis to prioritized remediation, all in one place. The business case is real. Texas A&M University used Axonius to gamify risk reduction across its decentralized schools and divisions, turning remediation into a leaderboard and dramatically accelerating time to closure. An entertainment company customer used Axonius during the 2024 CrowdStrike Blue Screen of Death incident to scope its impact and build a remediation plan in minutes -- delaying operations by just five minutes, while others faced days of disruption. Kottas also addresses the AI question head-on. He frames it as AI squared: the foundation for artificial intelligence is asset intelligence. Agentic AI and autonomous SOC workflows are only as reliable as the data underneath them. Conflicting endpoint counts across EDR, CMDB, and other tools produce dirty data that undermines AI trust. Axonius solves this by delivering a deduplicated, enriched asset graph with business context layered in -- so AI systems can make recommendations organizations can actually act on.

At RSAC Conference 2026, the expo floor runs on one word: AI. But Lisa Liu, Corporate Marketing and Communications Manager at Stellar Cyber, has been watching the confusion this creates in real time. Visitors at the Stellar Cyber booth are asking the same question: does AI in cybersecurity mean a tool that fights AI-powered attackers, a tool that is AI-based, or something else entirely? Lisa Liu's take is direct -- if your messaging can't answer that question, the noise is winning. Stellar Cyber has been building toward a human-augmented, autonomous SOC for years -- long before "agentic" became the conference password. The logic driving that mission is not about market positioning. It is about what happens when AI makes a mistake at scale. One error in judgment can echo a thousandfold. Human oversight is not a limitation on the platform -- it is the architecture. The goal is not to put a human on the sidelines as a safety check. The goal is to make every analyst perform at a higher level, so a junior analyst works at the capability of a senior analyst. Lisa Liu draws on the Waymo analogy familiar to anyone walking the streets of San Francisco this week: autonomous vehicles went from having a safety driver present to running solo. But when a power outage knocked out every Waymo unit simultaneously, the city needed humans to step in immediately. The same principle applies to security operations. Agentic AI is changing the analyst's role -- replacing alert fatigue and log chasing with higher-order problem solving -- but human involvement in the process is not going away. For SOC teams asking how to get there, Lisa Liu is clear: success is not a rip-and-replace project. Success is minimal personnel disruption and maximum operational efficiency -- repositioning existing tools to work smarter without exposing the organization to weeks of vulnerability during a rebuild. Stellar Cyber's platform integrates with existing SIEMs and tools, adds coverage across network, endpoint, identity, and cloud environments, and offers hundreds of pre-built integrations with more being added continuously. For managed security service providers serving clients across different industries and risk profiles, that kind of unified visibility is what makes the business model scale. The outcomes are specific. One Stellar Cyber customer reported that analysts were 83% more accurate in their threat environment analysis. Lisa Liu frames that number carefully: analysts are not measured by what they catch -- they are measured by what they miss. Any meaningful improvement in accuracy is not just a business metric. It changes how people feel about their work. This is a Brand Spotlight.

Natasha Chawla spent 25+ years in the corporate world working on brands like Coca-Cola and Unilever before launching Greens&Beans — a line of vegetable-packed, allergen-free pasta sauces born from her own kitchen.What started as a mom's mission to feed her allergy-prone, hockey-playing son healthy meals turned into a full-fledged CPG brand now landing on shelves across British Columbia and beyond.In this episode, Natasha shares the real journey: the R&D nightmare of scaling from 10 litres to 300 (when her sauce turned into dessert), the pivot from glass bottles to shelf-stable pouches for e-commerce, and the hard lesson that getting into a store is only half the battle — you still have to sell it.Kenny and Phil also dig into the practical side of growing a food brand the right way: why training your distributor matters, how to pace your retail pipeline so you don't outgrow your co-packer, and the power of collaboration with complementary brands.Whether you're just starting out or scaling up, this conversation is packed with real talk about what it actually takes to get a sauce from your kitchen to the shelf.

Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Dinakar Munagala, CEO & Co- Dinakar Munagala Founder of Blaize, and Joseph Sulistyo, SVP of Corporate Marketing, about Blaize's push to make AI inference practical outside the data center—and why a new strategic collaboration with Nokia is designed to accelerate that shift, especially across Asia Pacific. Blaize positions itself as an AI computing company built around a purpose-built, fully programmable processor architecture it calls a graph streaming processor, paired with software intended to simplify development of “real-world” AI. Munagala framed the company's focus as practical AI inference for environments like smart factories, smart cities, agriculture, defense, and other edge and hybrid deployments where latency, power, thermal limits, and operating conditions are non-negotiable. A centerpiece of the discussion was Blaize's announcement that Nokia is strengthening edge AI capabilities through a strategic collaboration with Blaize to deliver hybrid inference solutions across APAC. Munagala and Sulistyo described the move as a signal that AI's next phase isn't only about large-scale training in centralized data centers, but about deploying inference where outcomes are realized—near cameras, sensors, machines, and field infrastructure. In their view, Nokia's global reach in networking, automation, and integration creates a path to deliver end-to-end solutions that combine connectivity and compute for real deployments, not demos. Sulistyo emphasized the economics driving hybrid inference: cost-sensitive, power-constrained environments often cannot justify a single “monolithic” compute approach. Instead, he argued, the market is moving toward heterogeneous architectures—mixing different compute types to hit performance targets while controlling total cost of ownership. In APAC, he noted, the scale of deployments makes marginal savings meaningful, and hybrid designs become an operational requirement, not a preference. The conversation also connected edge inference to public-sector and community outcomes. Both executives highlighted smart-city use cases—such as traffic management, tolling, and first-responder automation—where real-time inference can improve accuracy and responsiveness while reducing labor-intensive processes. They extended that point to rural and underserved regions, arguing that “smart city” also includes municipalities and regional governments, where automation and analytics can unlock revenue (e.g., tolls and fines) while improving safety. Doug pushed on definitions and practicality, prompting Munagala to describe edge inference as compute performed as close as possible to the sensor—for example, processing video near a camera mounted on a pole, at a toll booth, or in a factory—so systems can detect events and respond with low latency. He added that some deployments may route inference to nearby on-prem servers or regional data centers, depending on architecture and proximity, and Blaize aims to support these variations with a common hardware/software platform. Blaize also addressed the “AI energy speed bump” impacting communities and operators—particularly where power availability and cost are constrained. Munagala said low power is foundational to Blaize's design goals and argued that purpose-built inference architectures can reduce the burden associated with power-hungry AI approaches. Sulistyo added that the broader infrastructure conversation increasingly includes cooling realities (air and liquid) and the need to match the deployment environment to the right compute profile. To ground “real-world AI” in examples, the guests pointed to deployments including license plate recognition in complex, variable conditions and traffic anomaly detection (identifying behavior that deviates from normal flow). They described these as compute-intensive workloads that must run reliably outdoors and under harsh conditions, where latency and endurance matter as much as accuracy. They also discussed retail analytics as another example of edge inference delivering measurable business outcomes by connecting what happens in-store to revenue-driving decisions. Looking ahead, Munagala described the Nokia collaboration as a model for additional partnerships that bring inference solutions into production environments at scale. Sulistyo noted APAC is the initial focus, with other regions expected to follow based on demand, proof points, and the prioritization of specific use cases.

Entrepreneurship requires discipline, planning, and sacrifice. “Write out your plan… and stay true to your plan.” “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come.” 5. Community impact drives her business model. Harlem Cycle isn’t just a workout studio—it's a culturally rooted community center focused on mental, emotional, and physical health. 6. Representation & mentorship matter. “60% of my team started as clients that we trained.” 4. Memorable Quotes Here are the strongest, most quotable lines from Tammeca: On Reinvention “Each time has been a moment in life where I evolved because of a goal I personally wanted.” On Holistic Fitness “Fitness to me is all about how we take care of our bodies—not just our physical body, but our emotional well‑being, our mental well‑being.” On Creating Harlem Cycle “I didn’t want to be the only person of color in the room—again. I wanted a place where my community could be seen.” On Entrepreneurship “Just because you build it doesn’t mean they’ll come… back down those numbers by 90%.” On Community Impact “We’re changing the fitness industry… starting here in Harlem by training our clients to be part of the wellness industry.” On Cultural Integrity “We don’t care about competition here—it’s about community.” #SHMS #STRAW #BESTSteve Harvey Morning Show Online: http://www.steveharveyfm.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“The metaphor of ‘kick the ball' —is to stress the importance of personal involvement and impact. It means that as a leader, you are there involved when it really matters.”Austin Lally is CEO of Verisure, the market leader in professionally monitored security services across Europe and Latin America - where he's served since 2014. After a 26-year career at Procter & Gamble, Austin made the leap to scale Verisure nearly 10x — reaching an enterprise value of €20B+, serving more than 6 million subscribers, and generating €3.4B in annual revenue. In October 2024, Austin led Verisure through a landmark IPO on NASDAQ Stockholm — the largest IPO in Europe in three years, the largest private-equity-backed IPO in European history, and the biggest in Sweden in 25 years.Before Verisure, Austin spent 26 years at Procter & Gamble, where his career spanned leadership roles across Beauty, Feminine Care, Fabric & Home Care, and Corporate Marketing. He spent seven formative years in Greater China helping build P&G's presence in the region, and later served as Global President of Braun and Appliances, leading a major turnaround and sitting on P&G's Global Leadership Council. Along the way, he was named to Advertising Age's Global Power 100.Austin is Scottish and a graduate of the University of Glasgow, where he won the World Universities Debating Championship and served as elected President of the Students' Representative Council. Outside of work, he's deeply passionate about music — including a past life as a highly rated indie-rock DJ in southern China — and is a lifelong supporter of Celtic FC and Liverpool FC. You'll enjoy this candid conversation about leadership at scale, taking smart risks, staying close to the work, and why “kicking the ball” often matters more than measuring it from the sidelines.This conversation is hosted by P&G Alum Sudha Ranganathan, who's spent over 19 years in diverse Marketing leadership roles at companies like P&G, PayPal, and LinkedIn where she's honed her passion for customer-centric marketing and talent development.

Episode SummaryIn this episode of OnBase, host Chris Moody sits down with Bryan Bowles to discuss how marketers can drive sustainable customer growth through tighter alignment with commercial teams, smarter segmentation, and role clarity across go-to-market functions.Bryan shares his unconventional career path and the insights he's gained by working across technical, product, and sales roles. He explains why marketers must understand both the buyer and the seller journeys, and how misaligned activities can waste resources and erode trust.From building campaigns that matter to structuring internal marketing roles with precision, Bryan offers a blueprint for modern B2B teams seeking to make a meaningful impact—especially when budgets are tight and expectations are high.Key TakeawaysStart with Seller Empathy: Great marketing doesn't just mirror the buyer's journey—it walks in the seller's shoes. Understanding how commercial teams use marketing materials is crucial to building relevant, timely campaigns.Segmentation is the Game-Changer: Trying to market to all customers equally leads to diluted efforts. Instead, narrow focus, precise segmentation, and account intelligence lead to higher conversion and deeper engagement.Align on Roles, Not Just Goals: Marketing success hinges on clearly defined roles. Bryan emphasizes letting product marketers focus on the “what” and “why,” while campaign teams drive the “how” with discipline and expertise.Activity ≠ Outcomes: Webinars and flashy tactics might feel good, but without a cohesive playbook and long-term view, they won't move the needle. Sustainable growth comes from planned, multi-touch, multi-channel programs.Operational Simplicity Drives Speed: Bringing content and campaign teams into one unit at GHX reduced handoffs and improved execution speed—creating what Bryan calls “one less handoff,” a powerful operational mantra.Outspend or Outsmart: When you can't outspend competitors, get surgical. Tight focus, clear audience segmentation, and close collaboration with the commercial team allow you to win smarter—not louder.Quotes“You don't need to spam the world. You need to be relevant to the right segment and convert.”Best moments 02:00 – Bryan's journey from rural hospital analyst to marketing leader.05:30 – Where companies fail in connecting commercial goals to marketing actions.09:00 – The secret to scaling customer growth through tight segmentation.13:00 – Turning field events into actionable intelligence for frontline teams.16:00 – Role definition and the art of avoiding activity-based marketing.20:00 – How merging content and campaign teams accelerated execution.23:30 – Why winning market share requires precision, not volume.Resource recommendationsBooks:Smart Brevity – A guide to simplifying communication and getting to the point faster.Podcasts:Outcomes Rocket – A healthcare-focused podcast Bryan recommends for insight into industry trends.Shout-outsKaycee Kalpin, CMO, Premier Inc.About the guestBryan Bowles is a seasoned marketing executive with over two decades of experience leading growth and innovation across the healthcare industry.

Sometimes a joke turns into a new life.Trish Jasinski had built a fulfilling, decades-long career in corporate marketing—and she really loved it. But during the pandemic, while working remotely from a very tiny Paris apartment, she started joking with friends that châteaux in the countryside were cheaper than her shoebox of a flat.Just for fun—and with zero plans to actually buy—she went château shopping.And then it happened. She stepped into Château de Gère, a 14th-century stone fortress tucked into the Vallée d'Ossau, and something inside her said, “This is it.”So she did the unthinkable: she bought it. With no plan. Just heart.Now, Trish lives in a quiet French village where sheep outnumber people, and she's turned the château into a beautiful retreat and event space. She's taken everything she learned from her corporate years and poured it into this new life—this wild, magical, entirely unexpected next chapter.In this episode, we talk about:Following a totally unserious whim that changed everythingWhy “no plan” doesn't mean “no purpose”Using your past experience in completely new waysListening to your intuition (even when it makes zero sense)Creating a life that's slower, sweeter, and more youConnect with TrishBook a stay at Château de Gère: https://chateaudegere.com/Follow on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chateaudegere/  Thanks for listening to The Career Flipper!If you enjoyed this episode, let's spread the word!

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel stuck in your agency journey? Are you trying to figure out the next step to grow? Don't know what you don't know but you DO know something is holding you back? These can be hard questions to figure out when you feel you have little to no support to help you identify areas of improvement and make necessary changes. This featured guest felt her agency was doing well with their defined niche, and capabilities. However, something was missing — as an owner, she felt isolated. This all changed when she joined an agency owner community where she could openly share her doubts and struggles while receiving actionable feedback and support. This pivotal decision transformed not only how she operated her business but also accelerated her personal development as a leader. Discover her experience building a business, the defining moment when she first identified as a true entrepreneur, and the two critical pivots that marked significant milestones in her agency's growth trajectory. Jennifer McPherson is the owner of Chickenango Marketing Solutions, a specialized marketing agency focusing on public involvement and marketing for engineering, construction, oil and gas utility clients. She shares her journey from spending 27 years in marketing roles within engineering firms to launching her own agency seven years ago. She discusses the motivation behind her transition and the challenges of building a business from the ground up. Jennifer reflects on the moment she realized her agency had truly become a real business and why the mastermind community has meant so much in the growth and self-improvement she's experienced in recent years. In this episode, we'll discuss: Community as the solution to agency owner isolation. Stop relying on project-based work.

The Leap from Corporate Marketing to Agency Founder Jennifer spent most of her career working on marketing roles within engineering firms, taking the step to venture on her own just seven years ago. Feeling a need for a change in direction, she set out to create an agency that would focus more on the engineering, construction, and oil & gas niche. Building her business, Jennifer quickly discovered that agency ownership extended far beyond simply practicing her marketing expertise independently. It demanded she master numerous aspects of running a company and navigate countless unexpected challenges. Despite these hurdles, she didn't fully perceive her venture as a legitimate business until she began hiring employees. Suddenly, her agency was no longer just a personal side hustle but an enterprise supporting other people's livelihoods, adding a profound layer of responsibility to her role as founder. 2 Pivots That Changed the Agency's Growth Trajectory In the years following her agency's launch, Jennifer achieved notable success and growth. Despite her professional achievement, she felt increasingly isolated in her role as an agency owner. Without connections to peers facing similar challenges, she lacked a support network of individuals who truly understood her unique experiences. Looking back, two important shifts got her out of that place: Community. Discovering Agency Mastery was a complete game changer for Jennifer. (This isn't just a shameless plug — but if not us, then find your people!) In addition to being the support she needed, this agency owner community also completely changed the way she ran her agency. With the mastermind's support, she went from figuring things out on her own to hiring a Chief Operating Officer, implementing efficient systems, and shifting her focus from being an operator to a true leader. The community also helped Jennifer get over the need to compare her success to others. The inherently competitive nature of the agency world often fosters unhealthy comparisons based on incomplete information about others' successes. Through her mastermind involvement, Jennifer gained insight into fellow owners' challenges, recognizing most face similar obstacles. She's also learned that community, a laser focus, and the right systems are the only things that will help you get by during rough patches. Predictable Cash Flow. Another pivotal moment was restructuring her business model to reduce dependency on project-based work. Her agency's focus on public involvement had previously meant operating on a project-by-project basis, a very difficult model to sustain since you're always choosing a next project and not building recurring revenue. With this pivot, her agency can now focus more on growth and building a pipeline to secure recurring revenue. This way, she is finally stepping out of being in the business to working on the business and focusing on its future. She is able to see that the future of her agency is beyond just her involvement. Finding Fulfillment in the Agency Journey Entrepreneurs often become fixated on end goals—whether it's selling a business, achieving financial independence, or reaching a certain level of market dominance. However, to make your business journey a truly fulfilling one, you'll need to do more. The journey of entrepreneurship is not just about hard work and determination. Luck and having the right team and community all play a role in what you enjoy doing and what you come to know as your agency's success. Many agency owners may feel frustrated by the daily grind and dream of selling their agency to feel free, but come to miss team work and sense of accomplishment after selling. Recognizing that the journey involves both struggle and triumph allows entrepreneurs to appreciate their efforts and find value in the process. In her experience, Jennifer loves the relationship building and connections as much as she loves winning. This is why she has come to define success as a journey is rich with learning opportunities, personal growth, and meaningful connections that contribute to a fulfilling entrepreneurial life.

Not all remakes are created equal. The Dune of 2021 is not the Dune of 1984. Maybe we should say not all “retellings” are created equal. Because both movies are based on the 1965 book. But film critic Roger Ebert scathingly called the first one "an incomprehensible, ugly, unstructured, pointless excursion." Ouch.The second one - the one we're talking about today - is a different story. It's been called “aesthetically perfect,” and the “faithful retelling of a complicated story.” And it won a handful of Academy Awards.So we're talking about what makes a great retelling and how to use those lessons in your marketing content. With the help of our special guest, VP of Corporate Marketing at Cribl, Ryan Mattison, we also talk about delivering a singular experience, doing partnership-driven marketing, and much more.About our guest, Ryan MattisonRyan Mattison is VP of Corporate Marketing at Cribl, where he leads the corporate marketing team, and looks after brand, creative, communications, and events. Prior to joining Cribl in July 2024, Ryan served as VP of Brand & Communications at ThoughtSpot. There, he led brand, creative and design, communications, PR and analyst relations, customer marketing, employee advocacy, investor relations and content marketing functions. Since joining as an individual contributor in 2017, he built the team from the ground up to deliver world class campaigns that cut through a highly competitive landscape, improve ThoughtSpot's reputation and awareness among key audiences, and generated pipeline that led to revenue.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Dune:Deliver a singular experience. And deliver it in the format that optimizes the experience. Like how Dune was presented on iMax. The large format made the experience of the sounds and the vast landscape of the film a more immersive and real experience. Ryan says, ”Deliver an authentic experience, and people will pay for it. That idea of being intentional and connecting it with a really authentic value prop, that for Dune was super real. That large screen format with the premium sound is going to really, really differentiate your experience with the movie.”Partner up.  Find other companies to cross promote content with. Dune did this with the video game Fortnite, allowing players to buy a “skin” so their avatar looks like a Dune character. Ryan says, “Dune also did probably one of the best jobs in recent years of doing partnership-driven marketing. Theater going is skewing older and older, but something like Fortnite,  has a much younger skewed audience. They were like, ‘We need to target a younger demographic because if we can get kids or young folks to ask their parents to go see Dune and their parents were already kind of thinking about going, now it's a family thing. And you're not selling one ticket or two tickets. You're selling four, five, six tickets at one time.” Ryan adds, “ How do you find the right partner that's not just the easy partner, but the partner where you're able to find or open up new channels, new demographics, new audiences in a way that feels like there's intentional value being delivered?”Create a remake. Or as Ian says, “Try it again for the first time.” Because the movie Dune that came out in 2021 was a remake of the 1984 movie. Or really it was a retelling of the same story with little regard for the first version. And because of the generational difference between viewers, Ian says, “This [2021 version] was the first interaction with Dune for, I would bet, a massive percentage of the audience that saw this. They never read the books. They didn't watch the first movie.  But for people like your mom, it's like, ‘Hey, try it again for the first time.' Like, ‘Yeah, I know you saw the old movie. This is nothing like that. Just try it again.” It reframes everyone's idea of the original story, and gives a totally new experience of it. So make a remake but keep it fresh.Throw the party. Ian says, “ If you make something worth talking about,  throw the party so that the people can talk about it.” That's what this podcast is all about, getting people to talk about Remarkable content and spreading knowledge of it through word of mouth. He adds, “ If you make content also make the event, make a premiere, make a big deal out of it.” Also because you deserve to celebrate good content and the hard work that went into it.Quotes*” There is no time when somebody is engaging with any facet of your brand or your business in which you shouldn't be representing the perception that you want to drive.  Every one of those is an opportunity to tell your story in a potentially different channel, different way.”*”Deliver an authentic experience, and people will pay for it. That idea of like, being intentional, and connecting it with a really authentic value prop, that for Dune, was super real. That large screen format with the premium sound is going to really, really differentiate your experience with the movie.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Ryan Mattison, VP of Corporate Marketing at Cribl[0:56] B2B Marketing Lessons from Dune[4:11] Marketing at Cribl[7:16] The Storytelling Power of Corporate Marketing[9:18] Dune: From Book to Blockbuster[12:09] Denis Villeneuve's Vision for Dune[15:28] Marketing Strategies Behind Dune's Success[22:56] Partnership-Driven Marketing Insights[27:24] The Challenge of Marketing B2B Products[27:46] Lessons from the Dune Movie Marketing[28:57] The Role of Mega Stars in Movie Success[31:23] The Importance of Authentic Marketing[35:32] Building Anticipation and Word of Mouth[44:20] The Power of the CEO's Voice[48:52] Upcoming Events and Final ThoughtsLinksConnect with Ryan on LinkedInLearn more about CriblAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

A three-tier showstopper cake may have beautiful pipework and neatly done icing, but if it's overbaked and dry on the inside, it's not a good cake.The same is true for marketing. If it has no message but it's beautiful, it's not good marketing. Focusing on substance over style is one of the many lessons we're taking from The Great British Baking Show in this episode.Together with the help of our special guest, VP of Corporate Marketing at Trellix, Sara Aiello, we talk about being brand classy, going for substance over style, and trusting your gut.About our guest, Sara AielloSara drives impactful brand and communication initiatives that inspire, inform, and elevate global businesses. At Trellix, she led the brand launch of Trellix from FireEye and McAfee Enterprise. Previously, as Head of Growth & Engagement for Amazon's large item business, she accelerated business growth and customer engagement. At BlackBerry, as Vice President of Field Marketing, Sara led global marketing and sales enablement teams, enhancing the company's technology recognition. During her tenure at Cisco, she spearheaded the security customer experience practice, significantly advancing customer adoption. She also led the successful marketing strategy for a billion-dollar service rebrand. As Director of the Executive Briefing Center for Cybersecurity at The Boeing Company, Sara's expertise in customer experience played a pivotal role in securing critical contracts.Sara holds a Master of International Business from Seattle University and a Bachelor of Science from Clarkson University.What B2B Companies Can Learn From The Great British Baking Show:Be brand classy. Create content that has integrity and stands proudly for your brand. Think about making something that's evergreen instead of trendy or reactive. Sara says, “You can never go wrong with being brand classy. Something that lives on, endures. Sometimes you'll want to take a quick hit at a competitor or something like that, but that's not going to age well. And so always be kind of brand classy in what you do.”Go for substance over style. Every so often in The Great British Baking Show, a contestant will create a beautiful confection that doesn't taste as good as it looks. That's when Paul Hollywood says, “Style over substance.” In content, you want to make something that has meaning while also being visually attractive. So always think about your message first before focusing on the beauty of it. Sara says, “You have to actually know what you want to say first before you start thinking about how beautiful or whimsical you want it to look.”Trust your gut. Tune in to what feels right and rings true to your brand. In The Great British Baking Show, contestants have to navigate the technical challenge often based on their gut alone, having to make a cake based on directions like, “Make a genoise sponge.” You may not always have all the information in marketing either, but Sara says, “Be comfortable with not having all your information.” Trust that your gut will lead you in the right direction.Quotes*”One thing we haven't hit on is the storytelling aspect. You really identify and make memories with the bakers and the way that the show tells their backstory. And so you feel really connected. And I think that marketers should remember the power of storytelling. A lot of times, we want to go into stats and figures, but that's really not going to engage our emotional side of our brain, which is what we need to be persuaded.”*”ROI, marketers love to talk about this. I think it really comes down to setting clear goals. A lot of times, especially when it comes on the brand side as opposed to the demand side of marketing, it isn't super easy to see and have metrics, so it's really important to set clear goals from the start. So then you can see if you're succeeding or not.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Sara Aiello, VP of Corporate Marketing at Trellix[1:00] B2B Marketing Lessons from The Great British Baking Show[5:10] Behind the Scenes of The Great British Baking Show[11:11] Relating The Great British Baking Show to Marketing[17:52] The Importance of Visuals and Positivity in Marketing[23:24] The Human Element in B2B Marketing[25:46] The Power of Storytelling in Marketing[34:25] Building the Trellix Brand[38:04] Engaging Content Strategies[46:35] Final Thoughts and Advice for Marketing LeadersLinksConnect with Sara on LinkedInLearn more about TrellixAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Erika White is the Vice President of Marketing and Communications at Affirm. While she has experienced great success in her career, as a child, she was a rambunctious and highly social student who was told she was wasting her potential. However, one special teacher believed in her, challenged her, and got her to see the potential in herself. That lesson stuck with Erika as she obtained both her bachelor's and master's degrees from the University of Southern California and began to build an impressive resume. Erika got her start in marketing at Hilton, where she says another person saw her potential and took a chance on her. From there, she moved on to Director of Global Corporate Relations and Corporate Marketing at Visa, then to Pandora as their Corporate Communications Director, then to Director of External Affairs at TPG, a large private equity firm, before landing at Affirm. In her role at Affirm, she oversees the core functions of building the brand, including brand and partner marketing, creative, paid activations, social media, and communications. On the show today, Alan and Erika talk about Affirm's place in the ever-growing buy now, pay later market as a more honest, transparent, and flexible alternative to credit cards for over 17 million active consumers and over 290,000 merchants. Erika tells us about the role buy now, pay later has in the overall marketplace and where she believes the industry is headed. She also gives us an overview of how she and her team are driving growth and customer acquisition for their retail partners, what she sees as the role of marketing as a whole, and why marketers have to always be adapting, changing, and embracing fluidity. She drives this point home by identifying those as the same attributes she looks for in new hires and telling us how her team embraces those qualities to continuously find new opportunities for value creation. In this episode, you'll learn about:The key attributes that set Affirm apart and how they benefit merchantsWhat is next in the buy now, pay later category?The role of brand and cross-functional partnerships in marketingKey Highlights:[01:45] A special teacher that impacted Erika[06:35] The peak and valleys in her career path[11:30] The state of Affirm's businesses today[12:55] What is unique about Affirm?[15:45] How is this similar to and different from layaway?[17:45] What is next in the buy now/pay later category?[20:15] The value proposition for merchants [22:20] The role of marketing [24:45] How she learned smart risk-taking [27:15] The role of brand and last year's refresh[30:15] Speed, precision, and fluidity[32:25] Read more books and nurture relationships. [33:55] AI is a mandatory consideration. [37:55] A decline in the desire for 4-year degrees [41:25] The threat of lacking agilityLooking for more?Visit our website for the full show notes, links to resources mentioned in this episode, and ways to connect with the guest!
