    The B2B brand problem nobody's talking about, with Louis Grenier

    Marketing strategy, brand distinctiveness, and the courage to stop blending in: Louis Grenier shares fresh research on why 80% of B2B companies come across as invisible or generic. Digital beige is everywhere, and it's costing brands the very thing they're trying to build, memory.Louis audited 100 B2B tech companies against eight recognised brand asset types, colour, logo, visual device, typography, taglines, human identity, product UI, and sound, and found that only one made it to iconic. He breaks down what's overused (colour and logo), what's sitting completely untouched (sound and human identity, despite being scientifically proven to trigger stronger memory recall), and exactly what to do about it.Louis is a positioning and go to market expert for B2B and founder of STFO. He was previously the host of Everyone Hates Marketers, where he interviewed some of the biggest names in the industry, including a famous conversation with Seth Godin.And if you haven't met Louis before, expect a bit of swearing and some very honest answers! 😂+Timestamps:00:00 — Introduction04:20 — Defining key terms08:00 — How the study worked13:24 — Top findings begin26:44 — Industry differences34:27 — Top three brands47:03 — Practical framework1:03:42 — Measuring brand impact+If you enjoyed this, please like and subscribe - it genuinely helps us reach more marketers like you.Join 35,000+ marketers getting our weekly newsletter (it's freeeeee): https://themarketingmeetup.comListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-meetup-podcast/id1365546447Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QvmFdxg5pMwsfPkKjhXl9+The Marketing Meetup thrives for many reasons, but one of the crucial reasons we're able to do what we do is because we have the support of some incredible individuals from some equally inspiring companies.

    The marketer's truth: where they're struggling right now

    Cop the report here :) Marketing can feel creative and frazzled on the same Tuesday, and that's not a you thing. In this one, Joe and James break down the biggest findings from The Marketing Meetup's State of Marketers Report 2026, built from nearly 1,300 responses about how marketers are actually doing, not just how marketing as a practice is performing.They dig into why 80% of marketers who feel positively challenged also tick a hard feeling, why imposter syndrome still hits 4 in 10 marketers with 16+ years experience, how AI is changing what marketers use it for and how they feel about it, and why freelancers report feeling more connected to the industry than people working on site in teams. Then they close with practical takeaways on pay reviews, junior development, and building community before you need it.+ Timestamps:00:00 - Introduction09:23 - Why The State of Marketers report exists13:02 - The five words marketers use to describe the job18:17 - Feeling both good and bad at once22:54 - Imposter syndrome at every level29:02 - How AI use is shifting35:12 - The connection score42:03 - Six practical takeaways53:59 - Q&A begins+ If you enjoyed this, please like and subscribe - it genuinely helps us reach more marketers like you.Join 35,000+ marketers getting our weekly newsletter (it's free): https://themarketingmeetup.comListen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marketing-meetup-podcast/id1365546447Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5QvmFdxg5pMwsfPkKjhXl9+ The Marketing Meetup thrives for many reasons, but one of the crucial reasons we're able to do what we do is because we have the support of some incredible individuals from some equally inspiring companies.
