    E92: How creating deeper connections can help you scale

    Choosing the wrong marketing partner can cost you time, money, and momentum—so how do you know who’s truly the right fit? In this episode, Elisa Boogaerts sits down with Behdad Jamshidi, founder of The Marketing Connector, to unpack how to evaluate marketing agencies, create authentic partnerships, and build deeper, values-based connections in business. They explore why marketing is never one-size-fits-all, how integrity and transparency shape long-term success, and what it really takes to connect self-to-self in today’s evolving business landscape. About Behdad: Behdad Jamshidi started CJAM The Marketing Connector after realizing that most companies don’t know how to evaluate the value of a marketing agency or assess their own needs. Since every business is different not only in their needs but where they are at in the growth process, it isn’t a one size fits all. In the past 6 years, Behdad (or Bee) has met with and assessed 1061+ marketing agencies and vetted them down to a lean 100+ preferred partners across all marketing niches. After pairing hundreds of businesses with the right partners, he’s found his skillset lies in the matchmaking process. Featured in MarketWatch, Bloomberg, National Post and the Financial Post, Bee’s unique background in marketing, engineering, consulting, leadership, sales and strategy, has allowed him to serve as the conduit between business owners and the marketing teams they need.
