What's up everyone, today we have the pleasure of sitting down with Hope Barrett, Sr Director of Product Management, Martech at SoundCloud. Summary: In twelve weeks, Hope led a full messaging stack rebuild with just three people. They cut 200 legacy campaigns down to what mattered, partnered with MoEngage for execution, and shifted messaging into the product org. Now, SoundCloud ships notifications like features that are part of a core product. Governance is clean, data runs through BigQuery, and audiences sync everywhere. The migration was wild and fast, but incredibly meticulous and the ultimate gain was making the whole system make sense again.About HopeHope Barrett has spent the last two decades building the machinery that makes modern marketing work, long before most companies even had names for the roles she was defining. As Senior Director of Product Management for Martech at SoundCloud, she leads the overhaul of their martech stack, making every tool in the chain pull its weight toward growth. She directs both the performance marketing and marketing analytics teams, ensuring the data is not just collected but used with precision to attract fans and artists at the right cost.Before SoundCloud, she spent over six years at CNN scaling their newsletter program into a real asset, not just a vanity list. She laid the groundwork for data governance, built SEO strategies that actually stuck, and made sure editorial, ad sales, and business development all had the same map of who their readers were. Her career also includes time in consulting, digital analytics agencies, and leadership roles at companies like AT&T, Patch, and McMaster-Carr. Across all of them, she has combined technical fluency with sharp business instincts.SoundCloud's Big Messaging Platform Migration and What it Taught Them About Future-Proofing Martech: Diagnosing Broken Martech Starts With Asking Better QuestionsHope stepped into SoundCloud expecting to answer a tactical question: what could replace Nielsen's multi-touch attribution? That was the assignment. Attribution was being deprecated. Pick something better. What she found was a tangle of infrastructure issues that had very little to do with attribution and everything to do with operational blind spots. Messages were going out, campaigns were triggering, but no one could say how many or to whom with any confidence. The data looked complete until you tried to use it for decision-making.The core problem wasn't a single tool. It was a decade of deferred maintenance. The customer engagement platform dated back to 2016. It had been implemented when the vendor's roadmap was still theoretical, so SoundCloud had built their own infrastructure around it. That included external frequency caps, one-off delivery logic, and measurement layers that sat outside the platform. The platform said it sent X messages, but downstream systems had other opinions. Hope quickly saw the pattern: legacy tooling buried under compensatory systems no one wanted to admit existed.That initial audit kicked off a full system teardown. The MMP wasn't viable anymore. Google Analytics was still on Universal. Even the question that brought her in—how to replace MTA—had no great answer. Every path forward required removing layers of guesswork that had been quietly accepted as normal. It was less about choosing new tools and more about restoring the ability to ask direct questions and get direct answers. How many users received a message? What triggered it? Did we actually measure impact or just guess at attribution?“I came in to answer one question and left rebuilding half the stack. You start with attribution and suddenly you're gut-checking everything else.”Hope had done this before. At CNN, she had run full vendor evaluations, owned platform migrations, and managed post-rollout adoption. She knew what bloated systems looked like. She also knew they never fix themselves. Every extra workaround comes with a quiet cost: more dependencies, more tribal knowledge, more reasons to avoid change. Once the platforms can't deliver reliable numbers and every fix depends on asking someone who left last year, you're past the point of iteration. You're in rebuild territory.Key takeaway: If your team can't trace where a number comes from, the stack isn't helping you operate. It's hiding decisions behind legacy duct tape. Fixing that starts with hard questions. Ask what systems your data passes through, which rules live outside the platform, and how long it's been since anyone challenged the architecture. Clarity doesn't come from adding more tools. It comes from stripping complexity until the answers make sense again.Why Legacy Messaging Platforms Quietly Break Your Customer ExperienceHope realized SoundCloud's customer messaging setup was broken the moment she couldn't get a straight answer to a basic question: how many messages had been sent? The platform could produce a number, but it was useless. Too many things happened after delivery. Support infrastructure kicked in. Frequency caps filtered volume. Campaign logic lived outside the actual platform. There was no single system of record. The tools looked functional, but trust had already eroded.The core problem came from decisions made years earlier. The customer engagement platform had been implemented in 2016 when the vendor was still early in its lifecycle. At the time, core features didn't exist, so SoundCloud built their own solutions around it. Frequency management, segmentation logic, even delivery throttling ran outside the tool. These weren't integrations. They were crutches. And they turned what should have been a centralized system into a loosely coupled set of scripts, API calls, and legacy logic that no one wanted to touch.Hope had seen this pattern before. At CNN, she dealt with similar issues and recognized the symptoms immediately. Legacy platforms tend to create debt you don't notice until you start asking precise questions. Things work, but only because internal teams built workarounds that silently age out of relevance. Tech stacks like that don't fail loudly. They fail in fragments. One missing field, one skipped frequency cap, one number that doesn't reconcile across tools. By the time it's clear something's wrong, the actual root cause is buried under six years of operational shortcuts.“The platform gave me a number, but it wasn't the real number. Everything important was happening outside of it.”Hope's philosophy around messaging is shaped by how she defines partnership. She prefers vendors who act like partners, not ticket responders. Partners should care about long-term success, not just contract renewals. But partnership also means using the tool as intended. When the platform is bent around missing features, the relationship becomes strained. Every workaround is a vote of no confidence in the roadmap. Eventually, you're not just managing campaigns. You're managing risk.Key takeaway: If your customer messaging platform can't report true delivery volume because critical logic happens outside of it, you're already in rebuild territory. Don't wait for a total failure. Audit where key rules live. Centralize what matters. And only invest in tools where out-of-the-box features can support your real-world use cases. That way you can grow without outsourcing half your stack to workaround scripts and tribal knowledge.Why Custom Martech Builds Quietly Punish You LaterThe worst part of SoundCloud's legacy stack wasn't the duct-taped infrastructure. It was how long it took to admit it had become a problem. The platform had been in place since 2016, back when the vendor was still figuring out core features. Instead of switching, SoundCloud stayed locked in ...

"How do you measure the impact you have with your platform engineering initiative?" is a question you should be able to answer. To show improvement you must first need to know what the status quo is. And this is where frameworks such as DX Core 4 come in. Never heard about it? Then tune into this episode where we have Dušan Katona, Sr Director of Platform Engineering at Ataccama, who is a big fan of the DX Core Four Metrics and who has just applied it in his current role to optimize developer experience.Dušan explains the details behind those 4 Core metrics: Speed, Effectiveness, Quality and Impact. He also shares how improving those metrics by a single point results in the equivalent of 10 hours saved per developer per year.And here the relevant links we discussed todayDusan's LinkedIn Profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dusankatona/DX Core 4 Blog: https://getdx.com/research/measuring-developer-productivity-with-the-dx-core-4/Marian's JIRA Analytics Open Source Project: https://github.com/marian-kamenistak/jira-lead-cycle-time-duration-extractor

Cool features don't make a story. Emotional stakes do. And no one knew that better than Knight Rider, a show where a talking car and a lone hero made 80s TV unforgettable.In this episode, we're pulling lessons from that retro icon with the help of our special guest, Ashley Sasnett, Senior Director of Content Strategy at EquifaxTogether, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from classic archetypes, character-driven branding, and the power of giving your product a little personality (or maybe even a voice of its own).About our guest, Ashley SasnettAshley Sasnett is the Senior Director of Content Strategy at Equifax. She is an award-winning, dynamic, and energetic digital marketing strategist with an extensive background in content, social media, mobile, campaign design and execution, and audience development. Ashley is a data-driven leader who embraces social listening and digital analytics to glean insights to solve business problems.Ashley is a marketer who humanizes Brands with social media, digital content, and influencers, creating connections with clients and prospects.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Knight Rider:Storytelling makes the features matter. Knight Rider didn't win fans because KITT had voice activation or turbo boost. It won fans because those features served a bigger story. A story about a hero resurrected to right wrongs with his talking car by his side. Ashley urges marketers to take the same approach. Don't just list functionality. Show how it fits into a compelling narrative. Ashley says, “That's a story. And so I think for me, when I'm thinking about how do you create marketing that really sticks with people is... you need to really pull 'em away from like brochureware.” When tech serves emotion, people remember it. So build the story before you build the spec sheet.Embrace the buddy system. At its heart, Knight Rider was a buddy story—man and machine. That relationship brought emotional grounding to an otherwise tech-heavy premise. Ashley points out how powerful that dynamic is in marketing, too. Even the most advanced products need a human emotion. Ashley explains, “You gotta give him a friend… give them a buddy to keep their humanity, keep them connected so they can go out and be the hero they're supposed to be.” Your product might be brilliant. But it's the companion—the story, the use case, the customer—that brings it to life.Make it iconic, not just informative. KITT wasn't just a car. It had a voice, a silhouette, and a sound you could recognize anywhere. It was branding genius and completely unforgettable. Ashley sees this as a blueprint for marketers: features don't stick unless they're wrapped in a sensory identity people can latch onto. Ashley says, “When the car is driving up…that sound is like Darth Vader's voice. Everyone knows that sound. It's so ownable to the show.” Don't just inform. Design your marketing to be remembered. Own your marketing.Quotes*“When I'm thinking about how do you create marketing that really sticks with people is it's, yeah, you gotta give 'em the AI and the voice of recognition and the bulletproof and the hot car thing. You gotta give them features and functionality, but you need to really pull them away from like brochureware, right? Don't take a product sheet and turn it into a webpage. We're so past that. Because a lot of the time, people are going through and checking boxes for that stuff, but they're not getting the use case, the value prop, the differentiation that's wrapped around those features and functionality. And when you do have something that's different, doubling down on that, so you can stand out, you're gonna do that in storytelling, and you always have these big story arcs.”*“ Market your marketing. The challenge that you've got is throughout your organization, people are seeing your marketing, but they're seeing it more as users. They're seeing the end product, they're not always understanding the strategies behind it. And I love a good dashboard. I love a good metric, I love a good deck, but you don't wanna turn them into crutches. You need to have that elevator pitch…And I think marketers, internally, we get so caught up in the bits and bobs and the how it's made, and we like to geek out on that stuff. We forget that really everybody just needs three or four bullet points… I think that's where it's funny 'cause we don't do for ourselves as we should do for our company or for our customers. Which is market your marketing, make sure people are understanding why you're doing what you're doing and how.”*“Stories are  pretty basic…Things were cranking along, and then you hit a stormy patch, and now things are better because you use this product. The stories  that you unearth in there is how they've used that product, but you've got that big story arc that kind of pulls it all together….  What is the conflict? Who's the protagonist? And then what does that or resolution look like? And when you're able to do that, you're gonna have a fuller, clearer picture for the audience to really glom onto. Because unless you're in the room with them telling that story, you've gotta let your digital content do a lot of work.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Ashley Sasnett, Sr. Director, Content Strategy at Equifax[01:15] Why Knight Rider?[03:13] The Role of Sr. Director of Content Strategy at Equifax[05:21] Origins of Knight Rider[10:37] B2B Marketing Lessons from Knight Rider[37:42] Equifax's Content Strategy[41:26] Creating Memorable Content[43:15] Great Current Marketing Campaigns[47:37] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Ashley on LinkedInLearn more about EquifaxAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Reviving vinyl in the digital age sounded impossible until the creation of Record Store Day changed everything.Launched with Metallica at a San Francisco record shop in 2008, it became a global celebration of indie music culture and a blueprint for building real human connections. In this episode, we drop the needle on what marketers can learn from vinyl's resurgence with special guest Robert McCauley, Sr. Director of Content Marketing at Upwork.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from community-driven events, the power of exclusivity, and how to build content strategies that truly resonate.About our guest, Robert McCauleyRobert has 20+ years of experience in content marketing, editorial, and communications. At Upwork, he leads a team of more than two dozen amazing content marketers, customer marketers, and multimedia professionals. (In fact, you can find out more about how awesome they are by checking out this link: https://bit.ly/3PGXNcD.) Robert lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and their high-octane fourth-grader. Ask him about his vinyl collection if you're looking to waste an hour or two.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Record Store Day:Sell the experience, not just the product. Exclusivity and differentiation aren't just nice-to-haves; they're why people line up on Record Store Day. As Robert puts it, “Part of the reason that someone is gonna pay $40 for something that they could, in theory, get for free is because the artists and record labels have done a nice job of selling the exclusivity and the differentiation. And, frankly, understanding their audience.” In B2B marketing, it's a reminder that when you make your audience feel like they're getting something rare and tailored, they'll lean in.Community turns customers into believers. Record Store Day isn't really about what you buy, it's about who you're with. Robert says, “This is where the power of community really comes in. It feels like a celebration of music. It feels like a celebration of vinyl... it feels like an event, a way to connect with people that are passionate about something like you are.” That emotional connection is the secret ingredient. For marketers, if your audience feels seen and connected, your brand becomes more than a service. It becomes a shared story.Go analog to cut through the noise. In a world of constant digital overload, physical media feels almost radical. Robert explains, “Analog physical media can really make an impact. We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day... the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're so far, few and far between nowadays.” For marketers, this is a cue to think tactile because sometimes, the most unforgettable touchpoint isn't a notification, it's something your audience can actually hold.Quotes*“ When done right and in a very strategic way, analog physical media can really make an impact, right? We're all flooded with digital stuff all day, every day. There's the whole joke of you going from kind of your midsize screen to your small screen, to your big screen over the course of the day. And the thing that cuts through that are physical things because they're sort of so far few and far between nowadays.”*“ Record Store Day at the end of the day is really an awesome in-person event. And in-person events, I think, in general, can be really effective for marketers. And again, when they're well thought out and done well. One of the great things about this is that, again, it's about community. It's about doing something that people appreciate and like. It's about feeling very kind of personalized to the things that they're passionate about. And, I think again, it just reinforces the fact that there are great ways of connecting with your customers much more directly and, of course, physically than over email or something. And they have a much stronger impact when you are face to face with someone and they remember your name, or you have a conversation, or you enjoy the coffee, or the excitement in the atmosphere that the event brought you. So I think it's the way that these are run are a good example of how in-person events can and should be run and can really make a difference to marketing efforts.”“  We always, as content marketers and B2B marketers, I think, worry that we have one opportunity to kind of hook our audience. If we don't do it now, if we don't get everything we need, this is gonna pass us by. There's this trust of, ‘Hey, I am confident that over time I'm gonna show you the value of my content in this case, my music, and I'm gonna get hooked.' And that will be rewarded down the line. It's definitely a long-term play, but it is very counter to, I think, a lot of our instincts of squeeze as much as we can as quickly as we can.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Robert McCauley, Sr. Director, Content Marketing at Upwork[01:26] Why Record Store Day?[03:21] Origins of Record Store Day[10:26] The Draw of Vinyl[16:51] Robert's First Record Store Day[20:15] Value of Physical Music in a Digital Age[28:58] B2B Marketing Lessons from Record Store Day[47:43] Upwork's Content Strategy[51:41] Upwork's Recent Content Creation[55:21] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Robert on LinkedInLearn more about UpworkAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Guest: Dor Fledel, Founder and CEO of Spera Security, now Sr Director of Product Management at Okta Topics: We say “identity is the new perimeter,” but I think there's a lof of  nuance to it. Why and how does it matter specifically in cloud and SaaS security? How do you do IAM right in the cloud? Help us with the acronym soup - ITDR, CIEM also ISPM (ITSPM?), why are new products needed? What were the most important challenges you found users were struggling with when it comes to identity management?  What advice do you have for organizations with considerable identity management debt? How should they start paying that down and get to a better place?  Also: what is “identity management debt”? Can you answer this from both a technical and organizational change management perspective?  It's one thing to monitor how User identities, Service accounts and API keys are used, it's another to monitor how they're set up. When you were designing your startup, how did you pick which side of that coin to focus on first?  What's your advice for other founders thinking about the journey from zero to 1 and the journey from independent to acquisition?  Resources: EP162 IAM in the Cloud: What it Means to Do It 'Right' with Kat Traxler EP127 Is IAM Really Fun and How to Stay Ahead of the Curve in Cloud IAM?
