Hey Reader, I don't email often outside of my newsletters—so when I do, it's worth your time. I'll cut to it: the old B2B playbook is fading fast. You already know what I mean:
Meanwhile, marketers everywhere are exhausted—creating more content than ever and seeing diminishing returns. Here's what the latest research shows: 95% of B2B marketers use AI now, but only 39% report better performance. More isn't working. What IS working? The brands pulling ahead in 2026 have figured out something simple: Instead of churning out content, they're having one meaningful conversation—a podcast episode, a customer interview, an expert discussion—and repurposing it into weeks of marketing assets. It's human. It's efficient. And it actually builds trust. I'm hosting a free webinar on January 21st at 12pm EST to break down exactly how this works.
Here's what I'll cover: ✅ The UGC Shift — How to turn your employees and customers into your most credible storytellers (without adding to their workload) ✅ Podcasting as a Trust Engine — Why 75% of B2B decision-makers trust brands that partner with experts, and how interviews make that scalable ✅ Webinars People Actually Want — How to ditch slide decks and create interactive sessions your audience engages with ✅ AI + Video for Discoverability — How to repurpose conversations into short-form video that spreads and keeps working for months This isn't theory—it's the framework I use and recommend to clients every day.
Can't make it live? Sign up anyway—we'll send the replay straight to your inbox. See you on the 21st, Neal P.S. — This webinar is in partnership with Riverside. If you've ever wondered how to create podcast or video content that actually works for B2B, this one's for you. |
