Matt Roberts is a veteran of the Canadian tech and venture scene. In Silicon Valley, his story would be somewhat common, a young talented tech person, the child of a computer pioneer, moves up the ranks through mentorship and gains wealth and stature through savvy choices and a little luck. However, in Canada, these stories are far less common and therefore more exciting to share.This is a fun trip through Canadian Tech history. Matt was around, and often in a pivotal position, to see the rise of tech giants like GaN Systems and Shopify, and he brings a perspective of a tech scene that pre-dates the internet through the experiences of his late father, John Roberts. This is a candid and wide-ranging conversation that was an amazing deep dive.About Matt Roberts:Matt is a cofounder and General Partner at CMD Capital, focusing on Seed opportunities in AI with a generalist lens. Matt Co-Founded CMD Capital after spending seven years with ScaleUP Ventures, where he was Partner and subsequently a GP in its Opportunity Fund.

Today on the show we have a veteran of the SaaS marketing industry, we're joined by Kamil Rextin. After moving from Islamabad, he worked in Karachi for 2 years at P&G and completed an MBA at Waterloo University. He got his start wearing many different hats like Growth, Demand Gen and Ops at early/mid stage SaaS companies in Montreal and Toronto including Breather, Pressly, Uberflip and CrowdRiff.In 2018, he took the entrepreneurial plunge and went out on his own and started an agency called 42Agency. 4 years later, Kamil's agency counts more than 5+ full time team members providing demand gen, marketing ops and ABM services. He's worked with top brands like ProfitWell, Hubdoc, Sproutsocial, Knak and many more scaling B2B saaS companies.Kamil's a father, a founder, a podcaster, a community moderator, the author of the 42/ newsletter, a neurodivergent advocate… but most of his time is shamelessly spent on memes and hot takes on Twitter. Kamil – we're pumped to chat with you today, thanks for taking the time.Questions and topicsKamil, I've dived into your twitter feed over the past year and there's a ton of hot takes that we can dive into that I'd love longer than 280 character take on. Recently you did an AMA on the B2B marketing community on Twitter, I pegged you with a bunch of questions and wanted to let you expand on some of those – maybe we can start there.Running an agency vs in-houseFor guests that have gone the in-house and agency route, I love asking the pros and cons of both of them. You're even more fascinating because not only did you do agency… you founded an agency from scratch and have been running it for more than 4 years now. What's the biggest upside/downside of running an agency vs being an in-house marketer? What are some of your early learnings from starting your own agency?Future-proofed marketing skillsWhether they end up in-house or at an agency, if you were mentoring a fresh marketing grad, you said that you would recommend them to specialize in the technical side of marketing. Why do you think the quantitative side of marketing is where a lot of opportunity is?Technical marketingLet's dive into that a bit more, I think people generously add technical marketing to their skillsets. What does it mean to you? Is it anything that has to do with reporting and integrations or using martech or is it more technical than that? Like how to manipulate data and build basic models or building a Data Warehouse?Analytics and Tracking in 2022From a quantitative marketing standpoint, the tracking analytics world is weird in 2022. The industry is moving away from session based tracking and with Apple and others making a big business out of privacy and with click based tracking only getting harder with cross browser tracking, what should marketers be relying on in 2022 and beyond? Is it incremental testing? Is it statistical models or ML?Martech buyer's guide – Wirecutter for SaaSI actually discovered you 4 years ago when I stumbled upon some of your early martech buyer's guide work. You were building the wirecutter for SaaS, I think the first one you did was on CMS, can't remember how favoroubly you talked about WP (lol) but what happened to this project, are you going to pick it back up one day?https://twitter.com/kamilrextin/status/1338536972608999425 Dark socialSome influencers have denigrated tracking and attribution to the point where many recommend just ignoring it and trusting your gut. One of the main culprits of this is the rise of dark social. WTF is dark social, is it just a buzzword for offline referrals like in group chats or in Slack threads and forums, and do you buy into all of this hype? How much do you hate this term?SaaS companies should be a media company narrativeSticking to some of your hot twitter takes here, there's a few more I'm excited to dive in with you. One of them is this idea that many influencers proliferate that SaaS companies should be a media company narrative. Why do you think this is bullshit?https://twitter.com/kamilrextin/status/1362544724813430786 Personal brandsAnother of my favorite twitter takes is your disdain for personal branding. A quick look at LinkedIn and Twitter reveals that building a personal brand has been dry humped to death. Every influencer is only an expert at self promotion. There's a total lack of receipts and actual experience. It's all about 24/7 self aggrandizement. Twitter screenshots on LinkedIn and nothing but dolphin claps and clicks. How do you really feel about building a personal brand?-- Twitter https://twitter.com/kamilrextin  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kamilrextin/recent-activity/shares/   https://www.fourtytwo.agency/   https://www.42slash.com/  ✌️--Intro music by Wowa via UnminusCover art created by SLB

In the world of marketing, audiences have the potential to make or break a brand. That's why, on today's episode of First Person, we're talking to demand generation and growth marketer, Kamil Rextin, about the art and science of audience-building. After ten years in growth roles at companies like Uberflip, CrowdRiff, and Breather -- just to name a few -- Kamil has a no-BS perspective on what it takes to not just survive in saturated markets, but actually *stand out*. Here's what we cover: The cult of personality in B2B marketing and the potential risks for brands Why you need to be data-informed and not data-driven (and what, exactly, is the difference) The difference between media and content Why copywriting isn't the most valuable skill in marketing right now

This is a story about how your effective self-promotion can create and attract totally unexpected opportunities for your career. I’ve talked about the importance of self-promotion a lot on this podcast and I still think it’s the single most important skill for professional women to hone. Effective self-promotion isn’t going on and on about how amazing and special we are but rather the art of communicating what we do, why we love to do it, and what we are really interested in doing next. In this episode, I’m talking to Amrita Gurney, the VP of Marketing at CrowdRiff, a 6-year-old tech company in Toronto that works with travel and tourism brands, a highly visible public speaker on women in technology, and recently, an angel investor. While we were working together to produce this episode, Amrita shared with me that because she is a woman of colour, she spent much of her life feeling like she didn’t fit in, especially in the tech workplace. She didn’t have leaders that looked like her, and her personal strengths — being a sensitive, empathetic, creative, and expressive woman — were not valued in the first decade of her career. She experienced misogyny, racism, and a lot of gender bias. Today, Amrita’s aim is to help more brown women, and all women from underrepresented communities, have easier access to angel investment opportunities and also to see themselves as people who can be angel investors too. For her, the transformation happened once she started promoting herself and advocating for the changes she wanted to see in tech by public speaking. The more she promoted herself, the more public speaking opportunities she attracted, and the more frequently she began to give voice to women of colour in technology. And that, my friends, is how it’s done. Let’s talk to Amrita.

While marketers mostly focus their efforts on attracting prospects, it's also crucial to connect with customers (aka the people paying for your product!).In this episode, Amrita Gurney, VP, Marketing & Community with CrowdRiff, talks about the company has heavily focused on engaging and nurturing its customers over the past six months.Amrita has great insight on best practices to develop a vibrant and active community, as well as thoughts on whether to use a platform.
