If I were hired at a B2B SaaS startup today, here's exactly what I'd do: 1. Nail My Positioning and ICP *(Weeks 1-2)* First, I'd sit down with the founders and product team. I'd make sure I understand the product inside and out, its value, and who needs it the most. Next, I'd do some market and competitive research. I would talk to prospects and check out what competitors are doing—more importantly, where they're dropping the ball. I'd use those gaps to position ourselves effectively. 🔑 Action: Draft a one-pager outlining our product’s benefits, differentiators, key customer segments, and the relevant messaging. 2. Get Quick Wins with Website Optimization and Analytics Setup *(Weeks 2-4)* Website Quick Audit & SEO: - Ensure our homepage clearly explains the value we provide. - Simplify messaging, add compelling CTAs, and remove any fluff. - Add persona pages and feature pages for key features. - Build content pages around key target keywords. Lead Capture: Add a simple form (or pop-up) offering a lead magnet—think free trials, whitepapers, or a "Demo Request" button. 🔑 Action: In the first month, audit our website for organic traffic, clarity, and lead capture. 3. Start Paid Campaigns and Cold Outreach Simultaneously *(Weeks 4-6)* - Google Ads for High-Intent Searches: I'd start small (even with $1K/month) and focus on high-intent keywords that reflect buying signals, e.g., "SaaS for project management" or "B2B customer success software." - LinkedIn Ads: I'd target decision-makers (CTOs, COOs) using clear, pain-point-driven messaging, and I'd A/B test the messaging and visuals. - Cold Email: I'd build a targeted list of 100 prospects and keep my emails short and to the point—addressing their pain points, how our SaaS can solve them, and offering a free trial or demo. I'd use these emails to test messaging and see what resonates the most. 🔑 Action: Launch Google Ads and LinkedIn Ads campaigns with a $1K budget and send 50-100 cold emails per week targeting our ICP. Use the data from these campaigns to optimize messaging and refine our ICP. 4. Double Down on Authority and build a long term content strategy *(Months 2-3)* - Case Studies: Even if we only have a few customers, I'd document their success. A 1-2 page case study can be a game-changer. - Publishing on Key Industry Publications: I'd list and contribute to key places like G2, Trustpilot, TechCrunch, etc. - Key Opinion Leader & content strategy: I'd identify our key opinion leader or evangelist (CEO, founder, product team) and work with them to record short-form video content to distribute on key platforms. This would also be a great time to put together a comprehensive content strategy for the company. - Partnerships: I'd partner with synergistic companies and individuals amplify our reach. 🔑 Action: Publish at least one case study and build a content library with our key opinion leader. Repurpose this content across our marketing channels.

The word "brand" has been a constant cause of credibility loss for marketers. Such blanket terms mean nothing concrete and communicate only confusion, which is not very useful if you are trying to be seen as an important function in a business - you need clarity and sharpness. The concept of brand is definitely and important one but, it is a vague and broad term that is a cliche. What do we mean when we are building a brand really? - ask 10 different marketers, you will get 10 different responses. Now ask this from non marketers (stakeholders) and the confusion and subjectiveness will be even greater. Instead of using the word "brand" why don't we use the underlying objectives for communication only. - If we are building general awareness, we should say that "we are just focused on reaching as many people as we can", not "building brand". - If we are owning a position, we should say that "we are trying to communicate our position in the market", not "building brand". - If we are building or changing perceptions, we should say that "we are changing the way people perceive us", not "branding". - If we are countering a narrative, we should say that "we are trying to clarify our stance", not "building brand". - If we are building brand recall, we should say that "we are trying to be memorable", not "building brand". This communication style will help you achieve the following: 1- Tactical clarity for yourself and your team 2- Simplify measurement, you are not looking at 1000 different outcomes 3- Make it digestible and trackable for the business stakeholders Any marketing leader who has been in a position of explaining marketing to their non marketing peers, knows the importance of communication in marketing. It is the difference between being able to do good work or not. So if we want to do good work, we need to adapt to the changes and realities of our business landscape and drop any cliches and confusions that could lead skepticism. Marketing theory and vocabulary is not written in stone, if it is not a source of benefit, drop it.

B2B businesses should just start making porn at this point then. #marketing #b2b #saas #b2bmarketing #demandgen #demandgeneration
The modern digital system is creative led not distribution led. Take a look at the most visited websites of the world and you'll see a pattern, most of these (except for marketplaces like Amazon or Temu) are content led websites not distribution led. Meaning these websites have achieved distribution because of their content not the other way around. The most interesting example is Pornhub which consistently ranks in the top 20 in every single data source, it is interesting because it is in a category which can not be marketed or advertised directly in fact, it is actively blocked in a lot of countries and distribution channels, yet it still attracts the most visits even in countries where it is blocked. This just goes to show the power of the content/creative that people want. Good marketing is not about gaming the distribution mechanisms any more, it is about being relevant and good at creating content that people want. As Gary Vaynerchuk famously says "Creative is the variable".

Love a good controversy! #marketing #b2bmarketing #brand
There is no such thing as brand marketing "on it's own". We have all suffered the emphasis on building a brand and doing brand marketing, which is another way of saying focus on the long term and become memorable in your marcomms to achieve mental availability. Such that when buyers need to buy they think of your brand. Brand marketing has been positioned as a category with in marketing, often in comparison with performance marketing in b2c and demand generation in b2b - where brand marketers are doing "CrEaTiVe & EmOtIoNaL" campaigns to associate their brands with emotions and the less sophisticated bunch are busy building pipeline and generating leads. And there in lies the problem. If brand marketing is building emotional connections then why is it separated from demand generation? - Can you not be on brand within performance channel? Can you not build mental availability on what are considered performance marketing channels? - Why do brand campaigns need their own channels and tactics? Truth is it does not, brand marketing exists subtly in all of your marketing. You can build a brand while doing lead generation campaigns, you can build a brand from SEO, you can build a brand with direct mail heck you can build a brand with cold email. It is all a matter of how you show up and what you say - this does not need to be a separate campaign on a separate channel and something that only works in the long term. It's about being clear on your strategy, your customer, your position and your message and reflecting those on your communications. Do we really think a bland, undifferentiated and unclear advertisement/email/webinar/video/newsletter/conference/event etc.. will resonate with a potential buyer in the flood of information going their way? Will they remember us as a business or a brand if our value prop, position and creative execution are not on point? They will not! so your make your demand gen on brand. Food for thought: If a billboard ad running as part of a brand campaign generates a lead, is it still a brand campaign?
