Today on the show, we have Susan Keplinger, CEO of Force of Nature, a boutique performance marketing shop behind the growth of brands like Ring, Oofos, and other category leaders. With experience building data-driven growth engines across e-commerce and DTC, Suzanne has helped companies shift from chaotic marketing to orchestrated, scalable systems.In this episode, we uncover why the future of performance marketing isn't about hacking audiences or chasing the “one winning creative”—but building portfolio-driven creative systems, trusting your data, and showing up clearly for both humans and algorithms.We explore why Google and Meta still dominate the ecosystem, why clean data is the new competitive edge, and how brands should think about programmatic everything—from ads to email to retargeting.We also discuss how Suzanne built the original performance infrastructure at Ring, how brands like Oofos leverage their “growth signal system,” and why the best-performing companies today treat robots as part of their audience.Finally, we dig deep into retention: why 10 customers leaving is the same as your 11th leaving, why the “leaky bucket” kills great brands, and how to know when it's time to stop relying on founder intuition — and start trusting the data.As always, I'd love to hear from you.

Viele Unternehmen kämpfen damit, ihre Pipeline wirklich verlässlich zu füllen. Gleichzeitig liegt die Lösung oft direkt vor ihnen: ein klar positioniertes B2B-Marketing, das Video nicht als „Content-Format“, sondern als systematischen Vertrauensbooster nutzt. Genau darüber spreche ich mit Michael Asshauer – Tech-Founder, Kopf hinter XHAUER und Experte für skalierbares B2B-Marketing, das messbar Neukunden gewinnt und die Effizienz im Vertrieb steigert. Wir gehen darauf ein, wie Unternehmen mit smartem Performance-Marketing, relevanten Inhalten und einer sauberen Positionierung ihre Sichtbarkeit erhöhen und gleichzeitig Kosten senken, indem sie Prozesse radikal vereinfachen. Besonders spannend: Wie Videos auf LinkedIn, in Webinaren oder im Remarketing dafür sorgen, dass Leads schneller qualifiziert werden und Sales-Teams weniger Zeit verlieren. Michael zeigt, warum viele Unternehmen gerade jetzt ihre Chance verspielen, weil sie sich zu sehr von Regulierung, Angst vor Neuem oder veralteten Strukturen bremsen lassen. Stattdessen braucht es Mut zur Digitalisierung, klare Botschaften und ein Marketing-Setup, das Wachstum ermöglicht. Wir sprechen auch über KI, Remote Work und darüber, warum Innovation nicht durch Perfektion entsteht, sondern durch konsequentes Machen. Am Ende bekommst Du konkrete Impulse, wie Du Video so einsetzt, dass Dein Unternehmen attraktiver wahrgenommen wird, Vertrauen aufbaut und sich souverän vom Wettbewerb abhebt. In dieser Folge erfährst Du ✅ Wie Video Deine Pipeline stärkt und Leads schneller qualifiziert ✅ Warum Positionierung & Performance der Hebel für planbares Wachstum sind ✅ Wie KI & Automatisierung Prozesse vereinfachen und Effizienz steigern ✅ Welche Chancen Unternehmen verlieren, wenn sie Digitalisierung verschleppen ✅ Wie Du mit Video Vertrauen aufbaust und Neukunden gewinnst Mehr zu meinem Thema Videokommunikation 4.0 erfährst Du hier: Meine Website: https://www.coporate-studio.de Mein LinkedIn Profil: https://www.linkedin.com/in/florian-gypser/ Du hast ein Thema rund um Corporate Videokommunikation, zu dem Du gerne einmal einen Podcast mit mir hören möchtest?

In this episode of Always Be Testing, I sit down with Howard Schaffer — a 25-year performance marketing leader, former CMO and VP across major wellness, fitness, and tech brands, and now the founder of HOS Performance — for a deep dive into what really holds companies back from scaling. Howard and I unpack why so many teams are still operating on shaky data foundations, from broken UTM structures to inaccurate attribution and reporting gaps, and he shares the exact diagnostic framework he uses when he steps into an organization. We talk about what every new CMO should evaluate in their first 30–60 days, how to assess channel performance without bias, and why disciplined tracking and clean measurement matter far more than adding another fancy analytics tool. We also get into AI's growing role in competitive research and creative iteration, how SEO is evolving, and why creator-led partnerships are becoming more valuable than traditional influencer deals. This conversation is full of practical insights for CMOs, performance marketers, analysts, and founders who want to understand what's slowing down their growth — and how to fix it.

In this episode, Kathryn mixes marketing magic with Jennifer Warren, VP of Global Brand Marketing and Creative at Indeed. They discuss the intersection of brand and performance marketing, the challenge of proving the value of brand efforts and Indeed's experiments with social listening. Guest Quote: “ One of the things that we have done to help build faith in things like media mix modeling is calibrate the model based on different information. So whether it's experiments, clean room experiments that we're doing or using last click data, we use that to look at what we're learning from our model, for example, and say, ‘okay, this is like out of line. So that means we should probe a little bit more on this channel and what the model is telling us'. Last click is a lot simpler to measure, so it's a lot easier to put your faith in that. When I think about performance marketing, that was for a long time the way everything was measured. But as the world has become more complicated, I've had to really work hard at trying to demonstrate that brand and performance are things that work together.'Episode Breakdown: [03:02] Alchemy UnveiledAttribution and proving the value of brand: While last click may be easier to measure, it doesn't tell the full picture. There is huge value in brand initiatives, even if it is harder to calculate. [17:34] From Nuggets to Campaign GoldListen to the market: Indeed experimented with social listening tools that allowed them to better position and educate their customers, avoiding costly mistakes. [24:24] Gold Rush!Brandformance is the way to go: Brand versus performance is a false dichotomy. The two functions should be in lock-step with each other, driving impact together.
