95% Content

Erik Jacobson from Hatch

95% Content is a show for B2B content teams who want to build trust with the 95% of buyers who are out-of-market today, but will be ready to buy in the future. You can call it many different things: content marketing, demand creation, brand marketing, dark social, or zero-click content. No matter what you call it, the goal is the same. You want to reach future buyers on the social and content platforms they hang out on every single day, and in a way that compels them to want to work with you when they’re ready. We’re going to cover how B2B companies can win with things like: organic social, short-form video, podcasting, YouTube, newsletters, webinars, and communities. Because the best way to win today is to already be on your buyers short-list the day they decide they need a solution. On this show hosted by Erik Jacobson, we’re going to explore how B2B content teams can do exactly that.

    Kandji’s $1B Content Anchor and Distribution Strategy

    In this episode of 95% Content, Erik Jacobson (CEO of Hatch.fm) talks with Sylvia LePoidevin (CMO at Kandji) about their evolution from targeting the 5% of buyers actively in-market to building a 95% content strategy for future buyers. Sylvia joined Kandji as employee #4 with zero customers, no website, and no brand, and has been leading their marketing strategy as CMO to help them become a billion-dollar device management and security platform.  Here's what you'll learn in this episode: How to know when you've "maxed out" the 5% and should pivot to a 95% content strategyBuilding "internal influencers" at your company for organic reachWhat metrics to use for early-stage brand measurementHow to run scrappy audience surveys with existing customers for actionable insightsThe "anchor and distribution" content flywheel that powers everythingWhy marketing hackathons accelerate the transition from research to executionHow to develop strong company POVsTeam structure approach: every anchor and channel needs an ownerWhy you should start simple with impressions before complex attributionThe future of "full-stack marketers" enabled by AI toolsKey Insight: The biggest marketing mistake is allocating budget proportional to where buyers currently are (5% in-market) rather than where the opportunity lies (95% not yet ready). Companies that start building relationships with the 95% early - before their 5% strategies hit diminishing returns - create an unfair advantage when those future buyers enter their consideration phase. — This episode is brought to you by Hatch.

    How GTM Fund Uses Content to Win the Best Founders

    In this episode of 95% Content, Erik Jacobson (CEO of hatch.fm) talks with Sophie Buonassisi (VP of Marketing at GTM Fund) about how they've built a content strategy that positions them as the #1 choice for founders seeking funding. GTM Fund operates on the thesis that "capital is commodity" - the real differentiator is go-to-market expertise. Sophie shares how they've leveraged this positioning into a content engine that builds relationships with founders 12-18 months before they're ready to raise capital, ensuring GTM Fund is top-of-mind when funding decisions are made.  Sophie also reveals how they reacquired Sales Hacker (which their GP originally founded and sold to Outreach) and rolled it into their media brand GTM Now, creating a full-circle moment that accelerated their content strategy. Here’s what you’ll learn in this episode: GTM Fund's "capital is commodity" thesis and operator-led differentiationWhy content has been part of their DNA since day one (not just tacked on)Their 95% content philosophy: building trust before founders are in-marketHow they balance tactical GTM content with subtle brand reinforcementThe "intentional attention" approach - quality over broad reachMulti-channel content strategy: newsletter, podcast, events, and socialWhy email distribution drove 17% immediate increase in podcast listenershipThe repurpose-then-optimize strategy for expanding to new channelsYouTube as both distribution channel and search engine for evergreen contentGrowth tactics: podcast directory optimization, ecosystem partnerships, and ratings strategiesSetting content KPIs based on TAM, not broad vanity metricsWorking with busy executives: time-blocking and enablement strategiesThe ecosystem approach to content partnerships and distributionWhy creativity will become the key differentiator as AI handles production tasks Key Insight: GTM Fund proves that when you have a strong company thesis (go-to-market is the remaining moat), you can build that differentiation directly into your content strategy. Instead of generic VC content, they focus on tactical, "real talk" GTM execution that serves their audience while reinforcing their unique value proposition.  Their success comes from treating content as a "reverse funnel" - casting wide with valuable content, narrowing to subscriber capture, then expanding back out with additional resources and ecosystem connections. – This episode is brought to you by Hatch.
