    Don't Be Afraid to Create Less

    In this episode of Content Amplified (Content to Close special addition), host Ben Ard sits down with Jessika Ward, a sales enablement leader with 13 years of experience building enablement programs from the ground up at SaaS startups ranging from 45 to 1,000+ employees. Jessika challenges one of the biggest instincts in enablement: the urge to create more. She makes the case that enablement should operate as a performance management function, not a content factory, and that the best enablement content feels like a shortcut, not homework. It should find sellers when they're already stuck and help them move forward immediately. The conversation digs into how to protect seller attention as a commodity, why engagement metrics are vanity metrics in enablement, and how to earn trust with sales teams by acting as an advisor instead of a professor. Jessika also shares her "air traffic control" approach to filtering the flood of messages sellers receive from every direction. What you'll learn in this episode: Why enablement professionals should get more comfortable not creating contentHow to organize content around behavior change instead of knowledge transferWhy seller attention is a commodity that should be protected at all costsHow to measure enablement success through observable behavior, not course completionThe "air traffic control" model for filtering what actually reaches your sales teamWhy enablement earns trust when sellers feel understood, not educatedConnect with Jessika on LinkedIn.

    What Publishing a Book Taught a 20-Year Marketing Veteran About His Own Craft

    In this episode of Content Amplified, host Ben Ard sits down with Frank Pasquine, Marketing Director at DoubleVerify and author of the newly released novel The Prince of New York. Frank has spent nearly 20 years in marketing across ad tech, entertainment, and agencies, but publishing his own book forced him to see content strategy from an entirely new angle. Frank shares the story of how he went from studying economics at Fordham to screenwriting at NYU, nearly beat Gossip Girl to the punch with a pilot at William Morris, and eventually built a full marketing career while holding onto that creative spark. Now he's applying everything he's learned in B2B to promote his debut novel as a one-person team with a personal savings budget. The conversation gets into the reality of marketing your own product versus marketing someone else's, the surprising fragmentation of platforms when you're the one spending every dollar, and why in-person activations combined with digital amplification have been his most effective strategy on both sides. What you'll learn in this episode: What changes when the product you're marketing is your ownHow a screenwriting background shapes a content marketing careerWhy in-person activation plus digital amplification is the highest-performing content playThe 100-day playbook Frank recommends before launching any side projectHow to approach TikTok, Instagram, and BookTok as a first-time authorWhy freedom to experiment is the biggest advantage solo creators have over corporate teamsFind The Prince of New York on Amazon or search for Frank Pasquine.

    Why More Content Isn't Working (And What to Do Instead)

    In this episode of Content Amplified, host Ben Ard sits down with Natalie Cunningham, SVP of Marketing at Data Axle, to tackle the tension every marketing team feels: you're producing more content than ever, but pipeline isn't moving. Natalie breaks down why the constant pressure to produce is actually the problem, not the solution. She introduces the concept of audience intelligence, going beyond personas and firmographics to understand the whole human inside your buying committee, including what generation they are, how they identify professionally, and what they care about on Saturday morning, not just Monday afternoon. She shares findings from first-party research at Data Axle that challenged her own assumptions, including a surprising insight about which generation actually wants pricing transparency the most (it's not who you think). And she makes a compelling case for why measuring content against pipeline generation is setting your team up to fail. What you'll learn in this episode: Why production volume without audience research creates a costly cycleWhat audience intelligence actually means and how it goes beyond personasHow generational differences in buying behavior should shape your content and channel strategyWhy AI should be your thought partner, not just your production armHow to measure content as a growth lever without forcing direct attribution to pipelineConnect with Natalie on LinkedIn.
