In this episode of the TestGuild Automation Podcast, I'm joined by Don Jackson, Director of Product Marketing at Perforce, to explore a bold new frontier in automation testing: true agentic AI. We unpack the groundbreaking tech behind Perfecto's latest release and what it means to test smarter, faster, and with zero hassle. Don shares how this new form of automation, powered by natural language, computer vision, and LLMs, lets you test like a human but with the speed of AI. No scripts. No frameworks. No brittle locators. Just plain-language instructions that drive real user-experience testing at runtime. You'll learn: What "agentic AI" really means and how it goes beyond traditional test automation How to run intelligent UI tests across devices without writing a single script Why this approach could finally bring automation to business testers and non-coders Real-world use cases, from validating stock charts and UI branding to exploratory testing at scale What to watch out for: prompting quality, performance tradeoffs, and trust Whether you're a skeptical scripter or just tired of flaky UI tests, this conversation will challenge how you think about automation—and show you what's now possible.

W wielu startupach marketing to kampania, leady, event. A product marketing? Jeśli w ogóle pojawia się w rozmowie, to raczej późno. Zbyt późno.– Problem w tym, że bez strategii product marketingowej, te wszystkie działania są jak krzyczenie do tłumu bez megafonu i bez wiedzy, kto właściwie ma Cię usłyszeć – mówi Daria Love, fractional B2B SaaS Product Marketing & GTM Strategist, która od lat pracuje z firmami technologicznymi i pomaga im mądrze wprowadzać produkty na ryneWięcej: https://mamstartup.pl

When you're outgunned, under-resourced, and facing giants, success takes more than speed. It takes teamwork, message discipline, and relentless coordination.That's how the Rebel Alliance defeats the Galactic Empire, and it's how great B2B marketing teams win in the real world. In this episode, we unpack marketing lessons from the Star Wars saga with special guest Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from thinking like a startup, aligning cross-functional teams, and building content strategies that deliver across every touchpoint.About our guest, Eric HerzogEric Herzog is the Chief Marketing Officer at Infinidat. Prior to joining Infinidat, Herzog was CMO and VP of Global Storage Channels at IBM Storage Solutions. His executive leadership experience also includes: CMO and Senior VP of Alliances for all-flash storage provider Violin Memory, and Senior Vice President of Product Management and Product Marketing for EMC's Enterprise & Mid-range Systems Division.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Star Wars:Business is a team sport. Great marketing doesn't happen in silos. Whether you're a startup or a global enterprise, success depends on alignment across every function. Eric says, “In marketing, having all kinds of people running around with different functions is wrong. They all need to work together in what I call a completely vertically integrated marketing.” Your message, your content, your sales strategy. it all has to move as one.Message discipline wins hearts and minds. When you can't outspend the competition, out-message them. A clear, consistent story can be your greatest weapon. “You need to win the hearts of the minds of your customers, and your prospects, and your channel, and your sales team,” Eric says. If your message isn't aligned, neither is your market.Think like a startup (no matter your size). Speed, focus, and adaptability aren't just startup traits; they're must-haves for any marketing team. Eric explains, “ The most successful big companies in overall functions, as well as in their marketing function, try to act like a startup.” Whether you're leading a lean team or navigating a Fortune 500 org, it's that startup mindset that helps you outmaneuver slower, more bureaucratic competitors.Quote“Business is a team sport, and a subteam of marketing as part of the business is a team sport too. If you don't work as a team, the empire will crush you. You need to be like the Rebel Alliance and all work together.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Eric Herzog, CMO at Infinidat[01:08] Why Star Wars?[01:54] Role of CMO at Infinidat[03:03] Origins of Star Wars[08:52] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Star Wars[30:04] Infinidat's Content Strategy[33:39] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Eric on LinkedInLearn more about InfinidatAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Send me a messageMost people don't think about carbon emissions when they think about the internet—let alone digital advertising. But here's the kicker: the ad tech ecosystem is responsible for roughly the same emissions as the global aviation sector. Yes, really.In this episode of the Climate Confident podcast, I spoke with Frank Maguire, SVP of Product Marketing & Sustainability at Equativ (formerly Sharethrough), about the often-overlooked climate impact of digital ads. We broke down how every impression, bid, and page refresh contributes to a complex, energy-intensive infrastructure—and what's actually being done to clean it up.Frank shared how programmatic advertising works, why the auction-based model generates such high emissions, and what's being done to make ad delivery more efficient. We explored GreenPMPs (Private Marketplaces) that strip out high-emission inventory while improving performance, the role of AI in optimising and complicating emissions, and why industry collaboration is key.We also discussed how regulation like the EU's CSRD is pushing companies to measure and act on their digital carbon footprint—and why that matters for brands, platforms, and consumers alike.If you've ever wondered how something as invisible as online ads can have a tangible climate impact—or how business can respond—this episode unpacks it all.Listen now to learn how the ad tech world is confronting its emissions problem, and what it means for sustainability in digital infrastructure.

Mastering Product Marketing: Insights from Gal Ko, Founder of BoldPMMIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Gal Ko, Founder and CEO of BoldPMM. Gal shares his journey from surfing adventures to leading BoldPMM, a product marketing firm focused on helping businesses create compelling stories and scale through strategic marketing. The episode provides valuable insights into overcoming market saturation, using podcasts for strategic marketing, and the importance of storytelling for CEOs and marketers looking to stand out in competitive markets.The Importance of Storytelling and Strategic Marketing in Today's MarketGal Ko emphasizes that effective product marketing is built on one key principle: storytelling. Product marketers must craft a narrative that resonates with their target audience, aligning with their needs, desires, and pain points. This narrative forms the foundation for a company's go-to-market strategy, ensuring that messaging is consistent and engaging across all channels. By focusing on values and the problems a product solves, marketers can differentiate their brand and build stronger connections with potential customers.However, Gal highlights a critical challenge—market saturation. With the overwhelming amount of content and ads online, it's harder than ever for startups and established companies to stand out. Traditional marketing tactics often fail to break through the noise, especially for startups in competitive markets like Israel. Gal recommends diversifying content channels, shifting focus from paid ads to value-driven content, and leveraging niche communities to engage with potential customers directly. This approach not only cuts through the noise but also fosters organic, lasting relationships with customers.One of the most powerful tools Gal advocates for is podcasting. As an effective marketing tool, podcasts allow for deeper, long-form storytelling that resonates with a targeted audience, including executives and decision-makers. Gal shares that podcast appearances allow business leaders to showcase their expertise, offer valuable insights, and establish authority in their industry. By using podcasts strategically, businesses can amplify their reach, build credibility, and position themselves as thought leaders—especially in competitive markets where breaking through the noise can be particularly challenging.About Gal KoGal Ko is the Founder and CEO of BoldPMM, a product marketing firm dedicated to helping businesses create impactful stories and market their products effectively.

We're covering:The 4 Cs framework: Capabilities, Credibility, Convenience, and CostThe danger of treating marketing like "arts and crafts" (and how to stop)Why being memorable is the true competitive advantage in crowded marketsHow convenience beats capabilities more often than you'd thinkHow category leaders stay leaders (hint: it's not features)Expect hard truths, practical frameworks, and some very strong opinions about why marketing fundamentals still matter more than ever.

They explore the importance of combining creativity with solid business practices, the challenges of freelancing, and the power of long-term relationship building.

I covered a lot of ideas in this episode with copywriter Grace Baldwin. We talked about product marketing, building an agency, conducting research (including one research technique you've never heard before) and the importance of community in growing your copywriting business. This is a good one. Click the play button below, or scroll down for a full transcript.   Stuff to check out: Grace's Newsletter The Copywriter Club Facebook Group The Copywriter Underground Research Mastery   Full Transcript: Rob Marsh: Hidden inside this podcast are a couple of ideas that will take your research game to another level… and I promise at least one of these you've never heard before.  This is The Copywriter Club Podcast. I've interviewed close to 350 different copywriters and close to another hundred or so other experts on this podcast over the past eight years. And you would think that by now, I've heard just about everything there is to learn or know about copywriting, research, persuasion, finding clients and the many other topics we talk about every week. Often the topics we cover are good reminders of things I already know but maybe don't apply to my business the way I should. Other times I hear ideas that I have implemented and what we talk about is a confirmation that what I'm doing in my business is helpful to my clients. And yet, I am constantly surprised by new ideas, new ways to do old things, and new insights that guests share that have never occurred to me before. That happened as I was recording this episode. My guest today is my friend Grace Baldwin. Grace is a copywriter with a background in strategy and product development. She's in the process of building her own design agency. Grace has constantly leveled up as she's built her business, working with bigger clients, taking on bigger projects and helping to create more impact for the brands she works on. While we were talking, she shared one way she does brand voice research—something I have never heard other copywriters doing and something that has never occurred to me before… and yet it's the kind of idea that may help you as you conduct research for your clients, especially if they are in early stages and don't yet have a lot of customers to intervew or survey.  After hearing that, I shared my favorite research technique for getting a founder to share the features, benefits and other details about a product in a way that helps me capture these for my sales copy. If you want to hear either or both of these ideas, you're going to have to listen to the rest of the podcast. Before we do that though, since one of the topics we touch on in this podcast is research, I want to share with you all of my research secrets… the 4:20+ research method that helps copywriters like you uncover the ideas and insights you need to write great sales copy. I've shared them all… more than twenty different techniques for capturing ideas, plus all of the questions I use to learn more about my client, their product, their customers and their competitors as well as the documents you need to capture your research and several tutorials on how to use A.I. to speed up your processes and even help with your research itself.  You can learn more about this unique resource at thecopywriterclub.com/researchmastery … research mastery is all one word. Check out thecopywriterclub.com/researchmastery. I'll link to that in the show notes so you can easily find the link if you can't type the URL into your browser right now… thecopywriterclub.com/researchmastery And now, my interview with Grace Baldwin.   INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPT COMING   Thanks Grace for sharing the details of your career journey and what you're building at your agency today. I want to echo what Grace said about finding a community of copywriters who can help you on your own career journey. I've told my own story several times, but it bears repeating the lesson,

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Glen Shok, VP of Product Marketing at Panzura, for a detailed look into how the company is rethinking hybrid cloud storage with the release of CloudFS 8.5 Adapt. CloudFS 8.5 isn't just another update. Built in direct response to customer feedback, it introduces powerful new features like Instant Node and Regional Store that redefine performance, availability, and business continuity. Instant Node allows failed systems to be replaced or migrated in under five minutes.  Regional Store brings high-speed data access closer to end users around the world while reducing latency and cloud egress costs. As Glen explains, the latest release meets the growing demand for flexibility in the face of geopolitical uncertainty, rising cloud costs, and evolving IT infrastructure. Panzura is helping organizations maintain uptime, protect data, and adapt quickly, whether moving away from VMware or modernizing a global IT footprint. CloudFS 8.5 Adapt enables this without forcing customers to compromise on control, performance, or security. We also explore how Panzura's vision for autonomic data infrastructure is becoming a reality. With every CloudFS node sharing full configuration metadata, new nodes can spin up almost instantly. AI plays a central role here too. Through Panzura Data Services, AI tracks behavioral anomalies to detect early signs of data exfiltration, ransomware, or internal threats. This provides not just alerts, but the ability to interdict and isolate risky behavior in real time. Looking ahead, Glen shares how Panzura is preparing to support AI workloads directly where unstructured data lives. Instead of migrating terabytes to external platforms, organizations can train language models in place, reducing cost and complexity. With features like enhanced RBAC, native Entra ID support, and a virtual data lake model on the horizon, Panzura is clearly positioning itself at the intersection of enterprise storage and AI innovation. If you work in cloud infrastructure, cybersecurity, data governance, or AI deployment, this episode offers practical insights into the challenges IT teams face today and the technologies that are solving them.
