    The Creative Testing Gap: Why Most B2B & B2C Lead Gen Campaigns Fail to Scale

    Most paid media accounts in B2B and in B2C Lead-Gen don’t have a targeting problem, but instead, they usually have a creative problem. After auditing more than 30 paid media accounts across both B2B and B2C lead generation in the last 2-3 months, one issue kept appearing over and over again: businesses simply aren’t testing enough creative. In this episode, Harry and Dan explain why creative variation is one of the biggest levers for reducing CAC, improving lead quality and unlocking scale across both LinkedIn and Meta. They discuss their learnings from D2C brands, and how these methods can be utilised in B2B when it comes to creative testing, how enterprise and SMB strategies differ, and the practical framework they use to generate hundreds of creative ideas from a single campaign. You’ll also learn: Why most businesses stop testing far too earlyThe difference between creative variations and net-new creative conceptsHow to build creative ideas from customer research and sales callsTesting different ICPs, offers, pain points and messaging anglesWhy discovery call transcripts are one of the best creative resources availableHow to measure success when you have long B2B sales cyclesLeading indicators that matter before revenue appearsWhy Meta and LinkedIn should play different roles in your testing strategyHow small creative changes (hooks, thumbnails, copy and formats) can dramatically improve performanceThe biggest mistakes repeatedly found during paid media audits Whether you’re running B2B marketing, enterprise ABM campaigns, SaaS ads, or high-volume B2C lead generation, this episode breaks down the creative testing framework that helps businesses continually lower acquisition costs and generate more qualified opportunities.

    Why Great Marketers Test Everything (Even What They Know Works)

    In this episode, Harry and Daniel discuss why challenging your own thinking is one of the biggest competitive advantages in performance marketing. Harry shares a recent Google Ads experiment where a bidding strategy he was convinced would outperform actually lost, proving once again that every account, audience and business behaves differently. The conversation explores why marketers should stop relying on playbooks, how to build a culture of experimentation, and why curiosity consistently outperforms certainty when scaling paid media. Harry and Daniel also discuss why Meta continues to be overlooked by many businesses, when it makes sense to expand beyond LinkedIn and Google, how they approach testing across channels, and why creative strategy should always be tailored to the platform rather than copied between them. Whether you’re growing a B2B business or a B2C lead generation brand, this episode breaks down the testing mindset, frameworks and practical lessons that help businesses scale more efficiently through performance marketing. In this episode:Why you should always test your assumptionsA Google Ads experiment that challenged our own playbookWhen “best practice” becomes bad practiceWhy broad targeting continues to outperform in MetaWhen to invest in Google, LinkedIn and MetaWhy channel hopping slows growthThe role of creative testing in paid mediaBuilding a testing culture that delivers long-term resultsI f you’re looking for a performance marketing podcast, business growth podcast, podcast for marketing teams, marketing podcast for entrepreneurs, creative business podcast, or business leadership podcast, you’ll find practical insights covering Google Ads, Meta Ads, LinkedIn Ads, paid media, performance marketing, lead generation, B2B marketing, B2C marketing, growth marketing, digital marketing, conversion optimisation, and marketing strategy.

    How One CTA Change Doubled Conversions and Halved CPAs

    In this episode of Unqualified Leads, Harry runs solo through a live case study from one of our healthcare clients, where a series of small, logical fixes to the user journey has just delivered a record-breaking week. It's a short-format episode designed to show what happens when you stop optimising ads in isolation and start optimising the entire flow your leads move through. Most businesses pour budget into paid media but lose huge volumes of potential customers in the gaps between lead capture, sales follow-up, consultation, and invoice. The data is usually sitting there, but nobody's taken the time to map it end-to-end. When you do, the opportunities to move the needle quickly become obvious, and often it's the smallest changes that produce the biggest results. This episode is designed as a practical podcast for founders, marketing teams, and operators who want to understand how to audit a full customer journey and prioritise the fixes that will actually drive growth. We walk through how we ran a two-week deep-dive audit, mapped every user route into the business on a Miro board, analysed every email, SMS, and automation, and worked with the sales team to identify exactly where leads were dropping off. In this episode, we cover: Why optimising paid media alone has a ceiling, and where the bigger gains actually liveHow to run a two-week audit that maps every user flow, comms touchpoint, and drop-offWhy bringing fresh eyes into a business uncovers gaps internal teams have stopped seeingHow to identify which fixes will move the needle most and avoid overwhelming the teamThe single book-now CTA change that broke a weekly consultation record by WednesdayWhy striking while the lead is hot is the highest-leverage moment in any funnelHow to spot the silent drop-off points between invoice and payment, and how to fix themWhy simple, lean workflows beat complex edge-case automations every timeWhy consistent creative refreshes are non-negotiable for high-spending paid accounts This is a b2b marketing podcast episode focused on the operational reality of growth: how paid media, CRM, and user experience all have to work together for every dollar of ad spend to pull its weight. We share the real numbers behind the changes, including a 120% increase in Meta-driven consultations, a 150% increase from TikTok, and CPA reductions of over 50% across both channels. It's particularly relevant for founders, growth teams, and marketing leaders who feel like they've squeezed everything they can from their ad accounts and are wondering where the next leg of growth comes from. If you're scaling paid acquisition, managing a high-volume lead funnel, or trying to figure out why your conversion rates aren't matching your traffic, this business growth podcast episode will give you a framework to follow.

    How to Set Up UTM Attribution Properly in Your CRM

    In this episode of Unqualified Leads, we walk through how to properly set up UTM attribution inside your CRM. It's one of the most overlooked pieces of marketing infrastructure, and one of the first things we audit when we start working with a new business. Most companies rely on the default attribution that GA4 and their CRM provide out of the box. It's not necessarily wrong, but it's rarely set up in a way you can fully trust when it's time to make real decisions. Channels get mis-assigned, direct traffic balloons, last-touch dominates the story, and the data ends up patchy enough that nobody quite believes the dashboards they're reporting on. This episode is designed as a practical podcast for marketing teams, founders, and operators who want attribution data that holds up under scrutiny. We walk through the exact UTM framework we build for clients, from capturing parameters at the form level, to segmenting them into first, last, and conversion touch buckets inside the CRM, to layering in self-reported attribution to bridge the gaps machine tracking can't close on its own. In this episode, we cover: Why default GA4 and HubSpot attribution isn't enough on its ownHow to build a UTM framework with a single source of truth across your teamThe hidden form field setup that captures UTMs against every CRM contactWhy your tracking code needs an expiry timer, and what goes wrong if it doesn'tHow to segment UTMs into first touch, last touch, and conversion touch bucketsWhy first-touch UTMs should be locked and never overwrittenHow to use self-reported attribution as a free-text layer to enrich your dataWhy direct traffic is often misleading and what's really happening underneath itHow to backfill historical CRM data so your dashboards aren't patchyWhy UTMs should be set at the account level, never the ad level, with dynamic campaign tags This is a b2b marketing podcast episode focused on the operational reality of attribution: how to set it up properly, where most teams get it wrong, and how to turn UTM data into a dashboard that tells a richer story of how customers actually find and convert with you. It's particularly relevant for b2b marketing leadership, growth teams, RevOps, and anyone responsible for reporting on marketing performance. If you're scaling paid media, running multi-channel campaigns, or trying to prove marketing's contribution to revenue, this business growth podcast episode will help you build attribution infrastructure you can genuinely trust. Whether you're a marketing podcast for entrepreneurs listener building your first stack, a creative business podcast follower refining your reporting, or a business leadership podcast regular focused on scaling efficiently, this is one of the b2b marketing podcasts worth coming back to whenever attribution gets messy.

    How to Analyse Paid Media Performance Beyond In-Platform Data in B2B & B2C Marketing

    In this episode of Unqualified Leads, we break down a real-world paid media experiment that challenges one of the most common assumptions in marketing: spend more equals more growth. After increasing Meta ad spend by 25%, revenue only grew marginally - and media efficiency dropped. On the surface, platform performance looked strong. But once we analysed the data across CRM, GA4, and attribution layers, it became clear that the issue wasn’t acquisition - it was something much deeper. This episode is designed as a practical podcast for marketing teams, founders, and operators looking to scale paid media without losing efficiency. We walk through how to properly analyse performance across channels and why relying on in-platform metrics alone can lead to the wrong conclusions. In this episode, we cover: Why increasing ad spend doesn’t scale revenue linearlyHow to use media efficiency ratio (MER) to evaluate true performanceThe impact of retention, repeat purchase rate, and lifetime value on growthWhy revenue lag can distort performance in longer sales cyclesWhat incrementality data reveals about wasted spendHow to diagnose performance across Meta, Google, GA4, and CRM dataWhy marketers must take a top-down approach to analysis, not just channel-level reporting This is a b2b marketing podcast episode focused on real data, real testing, and real decision-making. It’s particularly relevant for b2b marketing leadership, growth teams, and anyone responsible for scaling paid media budgets. If you’re running paid media, managing marketing budgets, or trying to improve business performance, this is a business growth podcast episode that will help you think more strategically about where your growth is actually coming from.

    Google Ads For B2B: Frameworks, Structures & Setups

    In this episode of Unqualified Leads, Harry Hughes and Dan Hughes break down their core approach to Google Ads for B2B lead generation. From auditing a new account to structuring campaigns for scale, this episode covers the practical frameworks they use to build, manage and optimise Google Ads accounts that are focused on generating qualified pipeline, not just cheap clicks. They start with the foundation of every strong Google Ads account: conversion tracking. Harry explains why the first place he checks in any account is the conversion setup, how to think about primary vs secondary conversion actions, and why so many businesses damage performance by optimising for the wrong event. The conversation also covers enhanced conversions, consent mode v2, and why offline conversion imports from HubSpot or your CRM are essential if you want Google to optimise towards SQLs, opportunities and closed revenue rather than shallow lead volume. From there, they move into Google Ads account structure and explain how to think about campaigns by geo, service, product, and intent. They unpack why campaign design is not one-size-fits-all, but why clean structure, thematic ad groups, and clear separation between brand and non-brand search are non-negotiable. Harry also explains why your brand campaign should always sit separately from your generic campaigns, and why allowing brand traffic to leak into non-brand campaigns distorts performance and wastes budget. The episode also covers bidding strategies in Google Ads, including when to use Max Conversions, where tCPA and tROAS can make sense, and why Harry typically prefers to avoid overcomplicating bidding too early. They also touch on manual CPC and search impression share for brand campaigns, and explain why Google rep recommendations are not always the right move for your business. You will also hear their views on: Google Ads audits for B2B lead genHow to structure campaigns around service lines or search intentWhy exact match vs phrase match should be determined by the size of your search poolWhen broad match and AI Max may or may not make senseWhy competitor campaigns often fail without the right landing page strategyHow to think about PMAX, Demand Gen and Display campaigns in lead gen accountsWhy negative keyword discipline and regular search term analysis are criticalThe importance of balancing account consolidation with the need for spend control If you run Google Ads for a B2B company, a lead generation business, or you manage paid media for clients and want a clearer framework for how to structure, optimise and scale search campaigns, this episode is a strong introduction to the systems Harry and Dan use in real accounts.

    Demand Gen vs Demand Capture: Stop Measuring Channels in Silos

    In this episode of Unqualified Leads, Harry Hughes and Dan Hughes unpack the real difference between demand capture vs demand generation, and why most B2B marketing teams measure it the wrong way. If your business is relying heavily on Google Ads / paid search to “prove” ROI, or you’re stuck in the cycle of switching budget between LinkedIn Ads, Meta Ads and Google based purely on in-platform CPA… this episode is for you. Harry and Dan explain why this approach often leads to short-sighted decisions, under-investment in brand, and an over-reliance on last-click attribution that doesn’t reflect how modern B2B buyers actually behave. They break down the common attribution trap: when Meta and LinkedIn generate awareness and intent, but Google “wins” the credit because it captures the final click. You’ll learn why B2B buying journeys are non-linear, how channels influence each other, and why judging performance purely at a channel level can cause businesses to turn off the very campaigns that are improving results elsewhere. Key topics covered: Demand capture marketing (capturing existing intent) vs demand generation (creating future intent)Why “Meta doesn’t work” and “LinkedIn doesn’t work” is often a measurement problem — not a channel problemHow to report performance using blended metrics (blended CAC, blended CPL, pipeline and revenue) instead of siloed channel reportingWhy demand gen requires time, trust, and stakeholder education, especially in high-consideration B2BThe role of leading indicators vs lagging indicators (engagement, dwell time, audience penetration, site behaviour, account-level intent signals)How to improve measurement using UTM frameworks (first-touch, last-touch, conversion-touch), self-reported attribution (SRA), CRM notes, call transcripts, and qualitative dataWhy short runways and pressure for immediate ROI push teams into capture-only strategies — and why that approach plateaus If you’re a founder, CMO, Head of Growth, or performance marketer trying to scale pipeline while reducing CAC, this conversation will help you build a smarter omnichannel B2B growth strategy — one that reflects how buyers research, evaluate, and choose vendors today.

    AI Max in Google Ads: When It Wins, When It Fails, and How to Test It Properly

    In this shorter episode of Unqualified Leads, Harry and Dan break down Google Ads AI Max — what it is, how it works, and the real-world results (good and bad) from live experiments. AI Max isn’t a new campaign type, it’s a layer you can add to existing Search campaigns that expands matching, dynamically optimises assets, and can even choose different final URLs based on intent. When it works, it can unlock major performance gains. When it doesn’t, it can burn budget fast with irrelevant queries. We cover: What AI Max actually changes (matching, assets, URL expansion)When it tends to work (B2C, mass-appeal search pools) vs fail (tight B2B intent)How to run a proper Google Ads experiment (instead of duplicating campaigns)Real results from tests: +40% to +125% conversions with -28% to -57% CPA, plus examples where it tankedThe biggest practical downside: negative keyword workload and query controlWhy you shouldn’t use AI Max on brand campaigns If you’re considering AI Max, this episode gives you the criteria, guardrails, and testing approach to decide whether it’s worth it in your account.
