Darwinium is one of the new companies that is getting a lot of attention. Today I sit down with their founder Alisdair Faulkner the founder (who also was one of the founders of Threatmetrix) to discuss who they are, what they are doing, and why what they are doing with their tool using AI/Machine Learning and how it's completely different than the others these days. It is fascinating! About Darwinium: "Darwinium's pioneering customer protection platform takes security and fraud prevention to the edge, removing the operational burden of implementing and maintaining API-based solutions. Darwinium provides complete visibility and control of every digital interaction - across web, apps and APIs - to identify bad behavior, in real time. Businesses can make more accurate, real-time decisions, and take dynamic, tailored remediation that favors the customer and not the fraudster. Its ‘trust nothing' approach to data privacy encrypts end-user data on the edge and allows businesses to store this encrypted data within their own infrastructure."

The Episode in 60 Seconds On this episode of Studio CMO, we sat down with Armen Najarian and Michael Cichon at RSA Conference 2020 — just a few weeks before everything shut down due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Armen is CMO and Chief Identity Officer at Agari, where Michael is the VP of Marketing. The pair has known each other for more than a decade and shared stories from their Silicon Valley careers and lessons for gaining market traction and differentiation in the B2B tech space. The interview delves into: How it all started with Armen and Michae The value of team chemistry Why marketers need to take a stan How to achieve internal alignment Why telling the same story matters Our Guests Armen Najarian is the CMO and Chief Identity Officer, and Michael Cichon is the VP of Digital at Agari. Agari’s mission is to protect digital communications to ensure humanity prevails over evil. Using predictive AI informed by global intelligence from around 2 trillion emails annually, the company protects enterprises against phishing, business email compromise (BEC) scams, and other advanced email threats. Armen is a 15-year Silicon Valley veteran with deep experience scaling pre- and post-IPO cloud and security companies to successful shareholder outcomes. Before joining Agari, he was the CMO of ThreatMetrix, where he established the company as the category leader in the emerging digital identity space, culminating in acquisition by RELX Group/LexisNexis in February 2018. He also directed the go-to-market strategy for IBM’s SaaS portfolio and prior to that, spent five years with DemandTec, supporting its successful IPO and subsequent acquisition by IBM. As VP of Marketing, Michael leads brand strategy and expression, content marketing, and the digital buyer’s journey across paid, earned, and own channels for Agari. Previously, he was VP of Digital and Content Marketing at ThreatMetrix and Digital Strategy Director at VMWare. Show Notes Register for Agari’s Trust Your Inbox webinar series, May 7 at 11:00 a.m. CT. Attend Trust 2020: The Next-Generation Email Security Conference, a virtual event experience, May 5 - June 6. Getting the Band Back Together Armen and Michael go way back. Their relationship started in 2007 when Armen attempted to hire Michael for a product marketing role at DemandTec but couldn’t quite land him. Fast forward eight years and Armen brought Michael on at ThreatMetrix, where they worked together for almost three years before selling the company to IBM. When Armen made the move to Agari in 2018, it only made sense for him to get the band back together — he hired Michael right away. Their origin story supports Armen’s #1 rule in B2B tech: always be recruiting. Team Chemistry Is Everything As evidenced by his persistence in recruiting and holding on to top talent, Armen points to team chemistry as essential for achieving marketing success. “Having a team that can believe in each other and that inspires each other is table stakes to be able to scale a business.” - Armen Najarian First, he said it’s important to define the roles you need, at least generally speaking. Then, you need to find people who can wear multiple hats, but still know how to swim in their own lanes, add value, and collaborate effectively. Michael shared that you want hardworking leaders who can solve problems. Everyone needs to be a marketer, even if they specialize in a certain segment. Marketers Take a Stand To be a marketer, you have to be willing to stand for something that might not be clear, something that might have unconnected dots. Agari is a mission-driven business and Armen makes a point to declare the company’s mission when interviewing candidates. It’s important to find people who will buy into the cause and promote the mission. This is the company’s true North Star and guides all storytelling. But, the way marketers make these stories come alive is an evolving thing. “Does the world really need another white paper? Does the world really need another blog? And, and the answer is yes. Because there’s not a shortage of content. The shortage is great ideas, inspiring ideas, interesting ideas, solid thought processes.” - Michael Cichon When the Sales Team Is Your Customer After you’ve got your team and mission in place, next you need to achieve alignment. At Agari, this means getting the marketing team on the same page as their customers — the sales team. The company uses an OKR framework, which focuses on objectives and key results, to achieve this alignment. “A rule of thumb is generally no more than four objectives and no more than three key results per objective at a corporate level and at a departmental level for the quarter or year…The OKR process is an exercise in minimizing your goals and then having very measurable results.” - Armen Najarian Remember, You’re All Telling the Same Story Michael added that it’s not just about aligning with sales. You also need alignment with your customer success team. He talks with them about how they describe Agari, in addition to getting buy-in from the sales team. Marketers also need to be in sales. “It's one story and there's no one person that can cook it up all by themselves behind their desk.” - Michael Cichon
Today's guest is David Jones, founder of Threatmetrix the Unicorn Australian company that many of you probably have never heard of, that very quietly sold last year to UK based Relx for $850 million USD (>$1b AUD). David has a number of other ventures running now and is an angel investor in local tech companies and discusses the challenge of taking a tech startup global.
Armen Najarian is the CMO of Agari, the next generation secure email cloud. A relative newcomer to Cybersecurity, that didn’t stop Armen from leading ThreatMetrix as CMO to an $830M acquisition by RelexGroup/LexisNexis. Armen says that when he got started in Cybersecurity, he thought, “Wow, this is fricking cool” With so much investment and opportunity in Cybersecurity, building the right team is a huge challenge for CMOs. Armen and I chat about his 3 keys to successful team building and scaling; Attacting, Motivating and Retaining, and he shares his successful strategies across all three of these. If you’re building a team, you really want to listen in to Armen wisdom and tips. Armen recommends following Ray Wang, @rwang0; Lora Cecere, @lcecere back from his supply chain days, and the ubiquitous Richard Branson, everywhere! Armen says he always has LinkedIn fired up, so if you want to follow up with him find him and connect at https://www.linkedin.com/in/najarian Learn more about your ad choices.

Today's Commexis Cast discusses YouTube's changes to its Partner's Program that are meant to ensure better brand safety for advertisements on the platform. AdWeek's Lauren Johnson reports that the YouTube Preferred Partners Program, which has seen major controversies in the past, will now have each second of each video vetted for adherence to the site's guidelines. All videos globally will be vetted by March, Johnson writes, with videos in the U.S. being vetted by February. That's not the only change Google is making to YouTube. Channels hoping to monetize their videos must have at least 1,000 subscribers and 4,000 hours of watch time to qualify for the Partner Program. YouTube says that 99% of users affected by this change made less than $100 a year on the platform, though that hasn't stopped some small creators from worrying. In addition, YouTube will be rolling out an ad buying system with three tiers. Johnson writes, "One option caters to brands that are sensitive about where their ads appear. On the other end, a broad-based option lets brands buy ads across a bigger section of videos. The middle option—which is the default option—plays between, with targeted ads that still reach a significant number of channels." So, what do these changes mean for your business? The Cast breaks down exactly what you should and shouldn't be worrying about with this change, and what to expect going forward. Our second story for today: One in nine online accounts are opened fraudulently, writes Maria Deutscher on Silicon Angle. ThreatMetrix's latest report details just how common fraudulent accounts are in wake of the Equifax breach, and how likely someone is to have their online accounts hi-jacked. Definitely click the link for some eye opening numbers. Today's cast: Phillip Brooks (Commexis Lead Strategist) and Matthew McGrorty (Commexis Videographer/Podcaster).
