Learn what topics were trending and TREW's big takeaways from INBOUND, Content Marketing World, MozCon, The Martech Conference, and the PMM Summit.In this episode, I'm joined by several senior members of the TREW Crew to share the big trends and takeaways from conferences we each attended in Fall 2022. These included:INBOUNDContent Marketing World (CMW)MozConThe Martech ConferencePMM Summit Here are just a few of the topics we covered during the episode:Lee Chapman, TREW President, shared a key INBOUND theme of connectedness. Emerging from the isolated Covid times, marketers (and humans in general) are seeking ways to feel connected. One has a sense of this at in-person conferences, where people are more eager than ever to talk to the stranger in the next chair over, and online, where new communities are springing up as gathering places for learning and connecting. Lee's favorite presenter was Dale Bertrand from Spark and Fire who provided in-depth advice on how to diagnose and improve SEO performance. Morgan Norris, TREW Senior Brand Strategist, reports that pillar pages are still a thing! Demonstrate your expertise and help your buyers by publishing long-scrolling web pages packed with relevant, connected content. You can score high marks with Google AND with prospective buyers through this strategy. While at CMW, Morgan tried out several AI tools for content marketing, nabbed the top score at a content-themed whack-a-mole game, performed at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame (sort of), and presented with yours truly during the CMW Industrial Marketing Summit. Morgan's favorite presenter was Lisa Gately from Forrester who covered thought leadership – what it is, what it isn't, and how to create a thought leadership campaign.Erin Moore, TREW Account Director, was the overachiever that fit in two conferences: MozCon and The Martech Conference. A big focus at MozCon (and INBOUND and CMW!) was Google's greater emphasis on EAT: expertise, authoritativeness, and trustworthiness. Partly in response to the misinformation of today's times, brands need to do more to build their authority. This might be niching further down, creating even MORE content on a subject (and tying it together with that pillar page), and publishing author bios along with blogs and articles. Erin's favorite presenter, Lily Ray from Amsive Digital, went into the background on EAT, the Google patents that she thinks went into it, and a lot of fantastic examples to showcase how Google can piece together an entity's authority.Collaboration and AI-assisted content marketing and SEO were also big topics at The Martch Conference. During the episode you'll hear Erin share an easy "hack" for figuring out trending keywords used by your target personas, so be sure to listen for that. Rounding out the five events, I attended the Product Marketing Manager Summit along with TREW client Rich Goldman from Ansys, who presented a content marketing collaboration between our two teams on a GIANT movie theater screen. About half of the sessions were themed around positioning and messaging, along with how to do content marketing at scale and ways to support sales. I had two favorite quotes, one of which “The Gartner buyer's journey is REAL, y'all” refers to just how much of a slog the long B2B technology buyer's journey can be, and pivotal ways marketing can help.

Join us today for an edifying discussion as we talk to Darrell Alfonso from Amazon Web Services. Darrell shares his exciting career journey leading up to joining Amazon and how his first job at a mobile and email marketing software startup prepared and woke him up to the game of business. It was his eureka moment of realising that it is so much more fun than what they can ever teach you at college. Darrell is beyond passionate about educational marketing, and his career is a testimony to the success of being obsessed with customers.He went on to explore the marketing automation industry in California. It is so much more than mere email marketing. Darrell was fascinated by it and started with large-scale system implementations, driving business results and growing teams. He also started contributing to the community during this time, writing 'how to' articles and helping other people with marketing automation. Darrell is very modest about the fact that he was fortunate enough to win a few rewards in the industry, but you will agree with us after listening to our interview that he worked hard and earned each one.

But, if everybody follows the same checklist, they all look and sound the same. We talk about why he believes marketers should throw away the checklists, pay attention to competitors, and obsess about their customers. As he puts it, 'don't do what everybody else is doing. Focus on your obsession with your customers and let that determine every single decision you make.'Our guest:Darrell Alfonso – Global Marketing Operations Manager at Amazon Web ServicesAmazon Web Services began exposing critical infrastructure services to businesses in web services after launching in 2006.

In this episode, Dan Neumann is joined by Scott Brinker! Scott is the VP of Platform Ecosystem at Hubspot, the author of the ChiefMartech blog, and the founding program chair of MarTech Conference. In their conversation today, they explore some topics around approaches with shifting from product to platform, organizational change with distributed agility, and exploring the Flywheel Model at Hubspot. Scott also shares his tips and advice around alignment, distributed authority, and preventing backsliding! Key Takeaways Hubspot’s shift from a product company to a platform company: Hubspot made the shift in order to move beyond just building within their own organization to being able to open up APIs and extensibilities that would allow other companies and developers to build on top of that foundation (in turn, shifting the value proposition to customers) Expanding from your own team(s)’ ability to innovate and experiment to empowering team(s) around the world to innovate and experiment They went from focusing on an end-user audience to requiring the product teams to look at another dimension of what they were creating The value in shifting from product to platform: The ability to adapt to change at scale is an invaluable skill This process helps pressure-test your ideas in a variety of different circumstances Tips for shifting from product to platform: You want a clear top-down strategy and a sense of where you’re going and why, but also the freedom to experiment and create You don’t want to have top-down handcuffs but you do want a strategy so people can align Experimentation is the pathway to greatness and the best way to have a great idea is to have a lot of ideas! It is ideal to have a blend of a formal/informal experimental framework Tips regarding alignment: If you’re going to have a product in the ecosystem, you want to make sure it adheres to some basic governance You want to make sure that the experience that customers have with anything in the ecosystem is good You can’t have governance that strangles the teams but you also don’t want a lack of governance that puts your organization at risk — finding balance is key How distributed authority works plus tips: Distributed authority refers to giving someone the authority to take something and run with it (in turn, creating a tremendous pace for innovation within an organization) To make this successful at scale, you need some scaffolding and governance increasingly over time so they are all tying back into a common foundation When it comes to the product to platform, each individual team needs to come to terms with it (almost like a retail approach to change management) Pro: Because you have these highly empowered teams, as soon as they “get it,” their ability to move very quickly and do amazing things is greatly increased Con: ’Tis not a one-shot thing; you have to invest the time and go team-by-team It may take longer than you think it will, but it leads to strong, genuine change that sticks Tips and advice around backsliding: Creating alignment between platform and ecosystem as a way to help your team(s) achieve their goals creates a strong bond Things diverge for good reason; usually, it is an indicator that that team needs to adapt or that something is not a good fit and needs to be changed What first might look like backsliding might actually be the discovery of finding a new path or possibility (so don’t quash things too early) What is the Flywheel Model? “The Flywheel is a model adapted by HubSpot to explain the momentum you gain when you align your entire organization around delivering a remarkable customer experience.” “With the flywheel, you use the momentum of your happy customers to drive referrals and repeat sales.” “Other models think of customers as an outcome — nothing more, nothing less.” The most successful companies address all three components of a flywheel: how fast it’s spun, how much friction there is, and how big it is (which determines customers’ attraction, engagement, and delight) Mentioned in this Episode: Scott Brinker Hubspot ChiefMartech.com MarTech Conference The Flywheel Model | Hubspot Antifragile: Things That Gain from Disorder, by Nassim Nicholas Taleb Want to Learn More or Get in Touch?

It's my biannual time to look at buying a new phone. I was really hyped on getting the new Pixel 4, but less than stellar reviews has left me in a conundrum. Do I bail from the Android ecosystem that I've built over years or do I stick with it? The same applies to organizations who are building customer experiences and the ecosystems that surround their MarTech stacks. Let's discuss. A few notes that I didn't say, but want to share. 1) Check out The Stackie Awards for the best MarTech stacks each year put on by the MarTech Conference. Worth a look as you are building your own "stack." https://chiefmartec.com/2019/04/2019-martech-stackies-marketing-stack-awards/2) Want to see the plethora of options out there to build your own "stack"?

“I believe in the power of data to change decision-making and culture. It’s all about finding the signal in the noise.” — Raviv Turner In this podcast session, I had the opportunity to speak with Raviv Turner, Co-Founder & CEO @CaliberMind.For those who may not be familiar with Raviv, he and his all-star team at CaliberMind have built a leading Customer Data Platform designed specifically for the B2B Revenue Marketer with one aim in mind — to be THE “single source of truth” for marketing and sales teams that finally gives them the "superpowers" they need to grow revenue faster, together. Raviv developed and mastered his data intelligence "superpowers" as a military intelligence officer and now, for the past decade, has been helping CMOs, and B2B marketers grow revenue using these honed data intelligence skills. In 2017, Raviv was selected as one of the ‘Top Tech Leaders to Watch’ by Inc. magazine and is also a contributor to Forbes Tech Council. He is also a sought-after speaker at marketing conferences on the topics of marketing analytics, data intelligence and marketing AI, including Dreamforce, MarTech Conference, and MarketingProfs B2B Forum. Despite all that Raviv does, he still finds time to ‘give back’ as both a personal advisor to CMOs on the topic of marketing technology and data analytics strategy to help improve their revenue accountability and customer-centricity skills - and as an angel investor and mentor at well-known startup accelerator @Techstars. Here are a few highlights from our discussion: 03:42 — How a former Israeli Intelligence Officer found himself in Boulder, Colorado running CaliberMind - a leading B2B Customer Data Platform for Revenue Marketers. 07:10 — 3 reasons why Boulder, Colorado has such a strong tech community and culture. 10:43 — Empathy: why it's a personality trait all good product managers must possess. 14:20 — #MarTechPorn: What it is and how it relates to CaliberMind’s #UnMarTech Manifesto (...and the correct approach to building your MarTech stack). 18:55 — Why CaliberMind is focused on building THE "single source of truth" (aka superpower) for B2B marketing and sales teams. 28:29 — How CaliberMind operationalizes revenue marketing at their own company (...and a CEO’s perspective on the obstacles B2B marketers face when trying to adopt revenue marketing.) 36:05 — "Data pukes" and the framework Raviv and his team use when building meaningful, actionable marketing and sales dashboard that drives real insights and business results.

Today, we are delighted to host our second special guest on The Talking Stack - Scott Brinker, who is the VP Platform Ecosystem at Hubspot, Chair of the MarTech Conference and Editor of ChiefMarTech.com Here are the highlights of the discussion: Segment 1 - Scott shares his key takeaways from the recently concluded MarTech Conference’18 at Boston - David asks if ‘certification’ for Martech professionals could be the next logical step to ‘formalize’ the profession, and Scott tells us why it seems unlikely - We ask if the concept of centralization and decentralization can be applied by marketing leaders when it comes to assembling the martech stack (happens to be Scott’s number 1 favorite topic!) Segment 2 - David asks if the recent integration announcements – for example, Adobe announced some fairly complex Magento integrations, the Zaius-Shopify news etc. indicates that ‘integrations’ have become too easy, and thus too superficial, or whether the technology has indeed become good enough to democratize integrations meaningfully - Scott argues that citizen integrators prove that the full spectrum of integrations is now possible - We discuss if this will impact the martech landscape – will we see a ton of stand-alone martech solutions that can integrate meaningful emerge, or will acquisitions in the martech space elbow all point-solutions out of the market? - Don’t miss Scotts Complicated versus Complex argument here! - We end with a chat on ‘tentpole’ technologies and what a central tentpole for the martech stack could look like (Hint: it’s not CDPs and David says so!

1. Customer engagement and Personalization engines are in the news. Here are the various categories that a quick visual audit of the weeks trending stories revealed: a. Personalization engine b. Omni-channel personalization engine c. Digital customer engagement platform d. Customer experience software e. Digital experience platforms They all sound similar. Are they? That sparked the question - are these martech ‘categories’ confusing to you too? As a marketer tasked with building the most optimal martech stack, are these blurring lines between what a marketing technology or tool can do, confusing? We discuss: - What the reasons could be for the blurring lines - How a marketer can approach choosing the best fit vendor in this scenario - Why ‘stack rationalizers’ will be a thing soon - 3 takeaways on how to deal with these confusing and blurring martech categories Reference news stories: • Braze (formerly Appboy), the customer engagement platform that delivers personalized messaging experiences across push, email, apps, and more • Dynamic Yield: AI-powered omnichannel personalization engine enhances features • Glassbox: digital customer management platform raises funds • Liferay digital customer experience software invests in Triblio ABM 2. MarTech Conference Boston 2018 David, who was a speaker at the MarTech Conference, and Anand, who is deeply involved with the MarTech Landscape project, share their takeaways from this year's event. The conversation centers around key themes form the conference and how we think they matter to you, as marketers. HAIL OF THE WEEK This week, we have not one but two hails: 1. A new law in California forces companies to declare when customers are talking to a non-human Will this law really matter in 10 years from now, or will talking to a bot or an AI entity be the most normal thing in the world? We debate it out. 2.
