Manufacturing leaders, listen to this podcast!

James brings his industrial marketing experience and incredible guests together in an incredibly valuable show. His recent episode with Jon Miller was full of value for me. I encourage you to listen if you are a leader in manufacturing and need your marketing to work.

Shae Eichele ,

A first class team making a true differnce.

Recently, I worked with James Soto and his team in Industrial Strength Marketing. They were a pleasure to work with, were extremely knowledgeable about the B2B marketing world, and knew how to connect with others to tell their stories. Seeing a team solely focused on giving people in our industry a platform to be seen and heard is excellent. I’m super excited to continue following Industrial Strength Marketing.

Megaton-tron13 ,

Wow! This show goes beyond B2B. It’s Industrial Strength Marketing!

GREAT topical focus ranging from ‘Women in the Marketing of Manufacturing’ to ‘Martech Leaders from Demandbase, Engineering.com, Zift Solutions and HubSpot.

James Soto goes beyond B2B marketing to call out distinctive Industrial Marketing insights having built a global agency, led Thomas media teams, and launched award winning campaigns like Manufacturing Day.

This podcast has so many great manufacturing leaders and experts in industrial-focused technology and media.
