Going DARK
On this episode, James and Brent talk about “dark social” and what that means for marketers in the B2B space. As companies start investing in dark social efforts, will B2B hop on this trend, or be left behind yet again? Is it even something worth pursuing, given the lack of measurable data (which B2B LOVES). We also explore platform fatigue and what this means for social media managers and brands. Do you just focus on a few channels and do them well, or try to hit every new media platform there is?

Customer Reviews
This is the way.
If you're growing a B2B company, this podcast is how to have a deep and wide understanding of the ecosystem you're living in. I especially love the episodes on Content Marketing, something that B2B marketers need to improve. And when they do interviews, you know they've done their research (unlike many many podcasts that ask super basic questions). This is THE B2B podcast.
Thoughtful, Quality Content
Very much worth your time!
Terrible show from a terrible company
Save yourself the trouble of listening to these grifters and listen to a decent business podcast like Make it Happen Mondays or the MarTech Podcast. The only reason B2B Growth has ever made it onto the podcast charts is because they paid to manipulate them (and they paid for fake reviews). Sweet Fish has lost more than 50 clients this year, so it’s hardly worth sitting around and listening to their CEO think out loud on a bad show. The company’s “service” is terrible, their podcasts are bad, and they treat clients and employees like problems to be solved. This show and the company are dying a slow death. Stay away.
