For those who don't know, Claudio is my business partner on Neat - our sweat-proof Shopify brand and he has one of the most fascinating backgrounds of anyone I've ever worked with.He graduated from Stanford at 20. Climbed to the top of Wall Street. Then pivoted into entrepreneurship—first with a soccer brand, and now with me in performance apparel. In this conversation, we talked through the moment we decided to go all in on Neat.We broke down the actual negotiations that brought us together, why we decided to buy IP before launching, and how we thought about scaling the brand through content, storytelling, and founder alignment.

AI “agents” have been hyped to death—but very few are truly delivering real-world impact. In this episode, we cut through the vaporware with Christian Wiens, co-founder of Loman, an AI voice agent platform transforming how restaurants handle customer calls, orders, and reservations. Christian shares how Loman went from a two-person idea to serving hundreds of restaurants and hitting $1.5M ARR in record time. We dive into why voice is the most natural, context-rich way for humans to communicate—and how AI agents that do real work (not just answer questions) will change how we interact with businesses forever. You'll hear how Loman's restaurant agents integrate directly with POS systems to take orders end-to-end, the surprising reasons Gen Z prefers talking to AI over humans, and why the future of a brand's “front door” may be an AI personality instead of a website. Christian also breaks down Loman's explosive growth playbook—from ditching cold email for native social ads, to filming on-location customer stories that convert like crazy. We cover the realities of AI-generated ads, programmatic SEO, and why outcome-driven automation is the only AI worth paying for.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat really defines an AI agent—and why most products don't qualifyHow voice-based AI can capture richer customer context than any app or formThe operational pain restaurants face with missed calls and how AI solves itWhy customers don't care if it's AI or human—only that it gets the job doneGen Z's surprising comfort with AI calls (and discomfort with human ones)The two make-or-break factors every AI agent needs to succeedHow to create “native feel” ad creatives that crush on socialWhy hyper-specific vertical integration beats horizontal AI every timeThe massive untapped potential for outbound AI voice (and the legal gray areas)Christian's vision for a future where AI agents replace websites as the primary customer touchpointChapters00:00 – Intro & The AI Agent Hype vs. Reality 04:18 – What an AI Agent Really Is 09:02 – Why Voice Is the Ultimate Interface 13:47 – The Restaurant Industry's Missed Call Problem 18:25 – Gen Z's Comfort with AI Calls 22:58 – Vertical vs. Horizontal AI Strategies 27:41 – Loman's Explosive Growth Playbook 32:16 – Ads That Feel Native & Convert 37:08 – Outbound AI Voice & Legal Considerations 42:55 – The Future: AI Agents as the New Websites 47:20 – Closing Thoughts & How to Connect with ChristianConnect with Christian Wiens:LinkedIn – https://www.linkedin.com/in/christianwiens/Website – https://www.loman.ai/

If your LinkedIn feed looks like a museum of giant n8n screenshots and “comment to get the guide” posts…good. That means the playbook works—when you do it right. Paolo breaks down the exact framework his agency uses to turn LinkedIn into a repeatable inbound lead engine for B2B—especially SaaS, agencies, and info businesses.What You'll LearnLead magnet mechanics that still crush: how to pick the right asset (templates vs. guides), formats that perform (Notion docs, Miro boards, short scroll videos), and the “perceived value + curiosity + scarcity” combo.Hooks that make people click “See more”: trigger desire, fear, or curiosity in the first 3 lines.Pattern interrupts that boost reach: why oversized workflows, zoom-ins, and 10-second sped-up videos spike hover time and help the algo.Profile-as-landing-page: how to structure your headline, Featured section, and CTAs to funnel traffic without tanking post reach.Nurture after the comment: DM prompts that qualify intent, when to drop case studies, and how to avoid low-intent “free audit” traps.Where this shines: B2B SaaS, agencies, consultants/coaches—audiences that are active on LinkedIn and buy from content.Paolo's Playbook (Step-by-Step)Pick the problem (one ICP pain your offer solves).Choose the asset format based on buyer type:Done-for-you buyers → plug-and-play templates.Education/info buyers → guides/videos.Design the preview media to signal value and create curiosity:Notion table of contents screenshot, massive Miro flow, or a 10-sec scroll video.Write the post like this:3-line hook (desire/fear/curiosity).Promise + what's inside.CTA to comment (optionally “repost for priority”).Light scarcity (e.g., 48-hour window).Delivery & DMs:Send the asset, ask an easy reply (“Are you posting on LinkedIn yet?”).Qualify with 1–2 follow-ups, then make a clear offer with outcomes + timeline (+ guarantee if you have one).Nurture cadence (next 2–3 days):Day 1: Case study (story format: before → intervention → after; CTA to book).Day 2: Technical value post (lower engagement is fine; it nurtures).Add strongest case studies to Featured on your profile.Links without nuking reach:Push to profile/Featured or drop links in comments; edit the post later to add the link after it's cooked.Tactical NuggetsComments > Likes (weightier signal + more hover time).Avoid bot pods; if you coordinate engagement, keep it real accounts and relationships.For SaaS without a free trial, push to a free setup/usage guide that inherently requires the product.Use storytelling in case studies; people remember transformations, not dashboards.If you're running volume lead magnets, expect lower engagement on deep-dive posts—that's normal and still effective.Tools & Formats MentionedNotion (TOC screenshot as lead magnet preview)Miro (big workflow screenshots)n8n (automation diagrams that stop the scroll)Short scroll videos (10–15s, autoplay pattern interrupt)AI voice agent (optional MOFU experiment to educate and qualify at scale before handing off to a human)Who This Works Best ForB2B SaaS (often top performer)AgenciesConsultants/CoachesAny ICP that's active on LinkedIn and buys based on content/authoritySponsorTalent Fiber — Hire world-class global talent (engineers with 7+ years' experience, U.S. time zones, excellent English) at ~⅓ U.S. cost.

In this episode of The Long Game Podcast, Alex Burkett interviews Logan Freeman, Global Head of SEO at ManyChat. Together they explore the evolving landscape of SEO in the AI era, particularly the rise of GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) and how it's changing everything from keyword strategy to attribution modeling. Logan shares tactical approaches for optimizing content for LLMs (large language models), including using FAQ schemas, focusing on off-page visibility, and thinking like a product marketer. They discuss how brand mentions are now more powerful than backlinks, why traditional SEO tools fall short for GEO, and how Logan approaches measurement when attribution is nearly impossible. The episode also explores LLM perception, off-site trust-building, and creative ways SEOs can future-proof their strategies by merging content, digital PR, and productKey TakeawaysSEO vs. GEO: Traditional SEO focuses on keywords, while GEO requires optimizing for hyper-personalized, conversational queries used in LLMs.LLM Perception Is Real: How AI models “perceive” your brand based on off-site mentions can limit (or expand) your visibility in AI answers.Brand Mentions > Backlinks: In the world of AI search, brand visibility across trusted platforms outweighs classic SEO signals like links.SEO as Product Marketing: SEOs must deeply understand users and position content like a PMM would—focused on problems, personas, and differentiation.Dark Attribution Is Growing: Most traffic influenced by LLMs doesn't click through—making measurement harder and more reliant on referral glimpses and qualitative insights.Go Beyond On-Page Optimization: Embedding schema, FAQs, and latent questions can increase the odds of being cited in LLMs.Get Creative with PR: To influence LLM results, you may need broad digital and traditional PR campaigns that shift how your brand is referenced across the web.Show LinksVisit ManychatConnect with Logan Freedman on LinkedInConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterSome interviews you might enjoy and learn from:Actionable Tips and Secrets to SEO Strategy with Dan Shure (Evolving SEO)Building Competitive Marketing Content with Sam Chapman (Aprimo)How to Build the Right Data Workflow with Blake Burch (Shipyard)Data-Driven Thought Leadership with Alicia Johnston (Sprout Social)Purpose-Driven Leadership & Building a Content Team with Ty Magnin (UiPath)Also, check out our Kitchen Side series where we take you behind the scenes to see how the sausage is made at our agency:Blue Ocean vs Red Ocean SEOShould You Hire Writers or Subject Matter Experts?How Do Growth and Content Overlap?Connect with Omniscient Digital on social:Twitter: @beomniscientLinkedin: Be OmniscientListen to more episodes of The Long Game podcast here: https://beomniscient.com/podcast/

AI-driven search (AISEO) is opening a new lane for brands in competitive categories. Joe Davies from FATJOE explains why branded mentions (not just links) are increasingly what LLMs use to decide recommendations—and how teams can systematically earn those mentions. We cover tactics like guest blogging at scale, context-seeding your USP across reviews/listicles, building deep product docs to feed LLMs, and using tier-two links to get your “influencer pages” ranking. Early data shows 2–3× higher conversion rates from AI-referred traffic because buyers arrive pre-educated and ready to act.What You'll LearnWhy AISEO rewards brand mentions and clear USPs more than classic link metrics.How AI-referred traffic converts 2–3× higher than traditional search.A repeatable process to seed your brand in listicles, reviews, and comparisons.How to “context-seed” your USP so LLMs recommend you for the right reason.Why deep help docs / knowledge bases make LLMs more confident recommending you.How to choose targets (DR + real traffic), then lift them with tier-two links.The state of AISEO observability (what to track, what's still immature).Tactical Playbook (Step-by-Step)Define your USP: the specific “best for ___” angle you want LLMs to repeat.Keyword map long-tail, bottom-funnel queries (e.g., “best X for Y,” “X vs Y,” “X alternatives,” “[product] review”).Prospect targets with credible traffic (DR is fine as a filter, but prioritize verified organic traffic).Commission content: secure guest posts/listicles and full reviews on those sites. Mix formats to look natural.Context-seed your USP in every placement (e.g., “Best for small teams,” “Most features,” “Best value”).Include competitors in listicles/reviews so the page is useful (LLMs prefer balanced sources).Boost with tier-two links (niche edits, syndication) to help these pages rank on pages 1–3.Expand surface area: Reddit answers, YouTube/tutorial mentions, and social chatter to reinforce brand salience.On-site foundation: build exhaustive docs—features, integrations, FAQs, facts sections—so LLMs can learn you deeply.Measure pragmatically: track referral traffic from AI surfaces and downstream conversions; current “AI visibility” tools are early.Resources & MentionsChatGPT Path (shows the searches/sources ChatGPT runs under the hood): https://chromewebstore.google.com/detail/chatgpt-path/kiopibcjdnlpamdcdcnphaajccobkbanFATJOE — Brand Mentions Service: http://fatjoe.com/brand-mentionsFATJOE: https://fatjoe.com/Key TakeawaysAISEO is early but growing fast and already drives higher-intent traffic.Focus on being mentioned credibly across the open web; LLMs synthesize those signals.Listicles + reviews on high-trust, real-traffic sites are the current highest-leverage assets.Your docs are marketing now—LLMs read them and recommend accordingly.Don't abandon SEO; it remains the foundation that AI systems lean on.Chapters00:00 Cold open: AISEO's opportunity & why mentions matter03:45 Data: AI referrals converting 2–3× vs. classic SEO07:50 Who should prioritize AISEO (and who can wait)10:30 Tactics: listicles, reviews, and “context-seeding” your USP15:45 Tools & workflows; extension that reveals ChatGPT's queries19:45 Content ops: human vs. AI writing, plans, and clustering22:30 Build deep product docs to feed LLM understanding26:10 Ranking the influencer pages + tier-two links33:00 Observability today: what's useful, what isn't yet36:50 The next 5–10 years: AI + SEO, not AI vs. SEOGuestJoe DaviesX: https://x.com/fatjoedaviesLinkedIn: https://es.linkedin.com/in/joe-davies-seoWebsite: https://fatjoe.com/
On associe souvent le personal branding aux freelances ou aux créateurs de contenu. Pourtant, lorsqu'il est bien utilisé, il devient un levier extrêmement puissant pour vendre… y compris un produit ou une offre plus « classique ». Dans cet épisode, je vous explique pourquoi dissocier branding personnel et marketing produit est une erreur stratégique.Nous verrons comment certaines marques capitalisent sur l'incarnation, en quoi le récit personnel peut déclencher une préférence d'achat, et comment vous pouvez utiliser votre propre posture pour renforcer la désirabilité de votre offre — sans tomber dans l'auto-promotion maladroite.

In this Kitchen Side episode of The Long Game Podcast, the Omniscient Digital team reflects on one key question: “What should we automate?” The discussion unfolds into a broader examination of agency culture, strategic thinking, and the nuanced costs of automation. They share personal experiments—from HARO email parsing to multi-agent PR systems—and debate the tradeoffs between saving time and losing essential context, mentorship, and learning. The team also explores how AI tools can be both empowering and distracting, and why automation shouldn't come at the expense of human development, team connection, or communication that builds trust. It's a thoughtful, candid look at what AI can't (and shouldn't) replace.Key TakeawaysAutomation Isn't All or Nothing: Not everything needs full automation—sometimes it's just about streamlining small, repeatable parts of a process.Human Touchpoints Still Matter: Automated communication can lack the warmth, accountability, and nuance of a genuine human message.AI Can Undermine Learning Opportunities: Over-automation risks removing hands-on work that builds junior talent and deep strategic expertise.Remote Culture Needs In-Person Balance: Offsites help rebuild alignment, context, and emotional connection that remote work alone can't deliver.Effort Signals Care: Taking the “harder” route—whether writing by hand or reviewing raw data—can demonstrate thoughtfulness and create deeper understanding.Small Talk Has Strategic Value: Informal conversation often reveals insights and context that structured meetings miss.AI Is Best as an Assistant, Not a Replacement: Tools like Fireflies or ChatGPT are useful for transcription and ideation, but real clarity comes from processing ideas manually.Show LinksConnect with David Khim on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Allie Decker on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterWhat is Kitchen Side?One big benefit of running an agency or working at one is you get to see the “kitchen side” of many different businesses; their revenue, their operations, their automations, and their culture.You understand how things look from the inside and how that differs from the outside.You understand how the sausage is made.

Rediffusion d'un des épisodes les plus écoutés du Podcast du MarketingQuel est le bon moment pour se lancer ? En fait, y a-t-il un bon moment pour se lancer ? Vous êtes nombreuses à tenter l'aventure de l'entrepreneuriat en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Et je sais que vous êtes également nombreuses à vous demander s'il est vraiment tenable de se lancer en parallèle d'un emploi salarié. Si vous me connaissez un peu, je suis sûre que vous connaissez déjà ma réponse. Sauf que ce serait trop facile pour moi de vous dire que tout est possible, et que oui bien sûr en vous organisant vous pouvez tout à fait créer une activité en parallèle de votre emploi. Alors, j'ai demandé à quelqu'un de très spécial de venir partager son expérience avec nous. Il s'agit d'une femme qui a une activité très prenante (vous allez voir que je pèse mes mots, c'est le moins qu'on puisse dire) ; elle donc une activité très prenante, et pourtant elle a trouvé le temps et l'énergie de lancer sa propre marque, seule depuis son appartement en Hongrie. Il se trouve que j'ai le grand honneur de bien connaître cette personne puisqu'elle a suivi mon programme de formation Stratégie Indépendante.

When everyone's racing to launch big strategies, success takes more than smart tactics. It takes alignment, discipline, and deep cross-functional trust.That's how the heroes in Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the hit animated Marvel kids' show, defeat the villains. In this episode, we unpack marketing lessons from Spidey's universe with the help of our special guest Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from nailing ABM execution, building content grounded in community feedback, and turning shared goals into real, coordinated action.About our guest, Emily FerdinandoEmily Ferdinando is a go-to-market leader with a focus on pipeline and revenue growth. She brings 15 years of GTM leadership experience, specializing in optimizing operational processes and data-driven strategy. With a background in sales and operations, Emily brings a unique approach to Marketing focused on down-funnel impact and top-line growth. Emily joins Bugcrowd from Veracode where she most recently led the Growth Marketing organization. Her background includes leadership roles across the GTM engine, including Global Business Development, GTM Enablement, and Operational Strategy. While there, she led the team through multiple events and two successful exits. Emily lives in New Hampshire with her husband and two young children. She enjoys the outdoors and stretching her creative muscles through painting, fiction writing and guitar.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Spidey and His Amazing Friends:Alignment over silos. In one episode, Spidey, Ghosty, and Miles all chase Rhino with their own plans, each using their powers, none working together. The mission falls apart. “We can say we have the same goal all day, but if we're not aligned on how we get there… that's what it's gonna look like,” Emily says. In marketing and in superhero teams, the difference between success and disaster isn't talent, it's coordination.One-size-fits-all content fits no one. Spidey's world works because it's made for everyone. Each with different powers, personalities, backgrounds, and their own story. That same inclusive mindset should guide your content. “Many people did not fit squarely into one piece,” Emily says. “If we ran our strategy that way, they were missing exposure to a lot of content that was really relevant to them.” Real impact comes from serving the overlaps, not the edges.Simple stories stick. Spidey and His Amazing Friends makes complex ideas—like teamwork, trust, and problem-solving—land through bright colors and clear stakes. For marketers, that's the goal too. “Making internal assumptions without pressure testing with the people who are going to be receiving the output of your team, it's a huge miss,” Emily says. Whether you're leading kids or customers, never assume they're on board. Ask, listen, and build with them.Quote“Spidey and His Amazing Friends, they really teach you what actual in practice, collaboration is supposed to look like and not look like. And it's really as simple as…you step back. We all know what we're supposed to do. It's just really hard in practice sometimes, and sometimes you can learn from the kids' shows. You just step back and go, we know what to do, we just need to do it.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd[01:00] Why Spidey and His Amazing Friends?[02:20] The Role of a CMO at Bugcrowd[03:00] Origins of Spidey and His Amazing Friends[19:38] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Spidey and His Amazing Friends[29:21] Bugcrowd's ABM Launch[33:30] Repackaging Content for Better Engagement[40:13] Bugcrowd's Content Strategy and Community Engagement[47:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Emily on LinkedInLearn more about BugcrowdAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.
