It blows my mind that the major SEP's task experience hasn't changed in 3 years (since I started using them, maybe longer) Still takes 5 clicks to complete a single dial for example For years they watched startups like Regie solve their workflow problems Now people keep asking "if Regie can handle my sourcing, emails, dialing, what do I need my SEP for anyways?" When you really dig into it, not a whole lot #prospecting #ai

Long ago, in a galaxy far away (called San Mateo), I worked for an amazingly talented GM/CMO Jason Garoutte at a Sequoia Capital backed startup in the martech space. Our highest performing webinar (and social posts) related to the "upcoming tsunami of content (marketing) crap." Catchy title. And wow was he right. Fast forward. Add AI. And zowza. It's crazy out there. So much noise. Worse than ever. So. What is the solution? Get back to fundamentals. First principles. People connect with people they respect. People want to engage in a trusted space. People want hyper-helpful content. At the right time. Via the right channel. But. They also want something more. They want experiences. They want to be: entertained, engaged, educated. At their pace. And. They want something special. Dare I say...magical? Long before they are forced into a funnel to convert. Discuss amongst yourselves. #cmoinsights #b2bmarketing #momentum

Captions is putting $100M into GenAI video in NYC Does anyone else think this is a big deal? Captions... it's got really cool AI tools for "talking videos" (why not just call them Talkies?) and it just got a $60M cash infusion from the usual Venture names (and Jared Leto?). But what caught my attention is this: 📣They are focused on marketing, which has the best video use case for GenAI 📍They're doing it in NYC, where the marketing and ad world lives 🔄They're creating an ecosystem (like CapCut) which is the new model. 📌Software suites are SAAS, ecosystems are SAAS Product Led Growth This week's edition of my newsletter includes this story and lots more focused on video business and marketing strategy.
