    Session #10 - What Does "ICP-Aligned Content" Actually Mean?

    In Session 10, Nate Turner, Kevin King, and Ryan Sargent unpack why "ICP-aligned content" has become a buzzword that few marketers can actually define or execute on. They argue that most ICP research falls short by focusing on demographics and firmographics rather than the "jobs to be done" framework, and recommend listening to sales calls and talking to existing customers as more practical starting points. The conversation also explores what "aligned" really means in practice — from speaking the right vocabulary to meeting audiences where they are in their journey. Ryan and the team close with actionable advice on diagnosing market maturity and building content that speaks directly to an ICP, rather than simply about one.

    Session #9 - What AI Means for Content Teams in 2026

    In the final episode of 2025, Nate Turner and Kevin King were joined by Ryan Sargent of Ten Speed.  Content strategy is changing quickly as AI tools reshape how teams plan and produce work. This episode looks at what 2026 will bring for content leaders who are adapting to new levels of bandwidth, velocity, and expectations. We talk about how platforms like AirOps and specialized LLMs influence content velocity and raise the pace for companies of all sizes. We also dig into how AI search rewards freshness even more than traditional search and what that means for planning, publishing, and keeping content relevant. The conversation explores whether teams will try to separate content created for LLMs from content created for humans and why that separation may be harder to maintain than it sounds. We also examine how AI automation interacts with human bandwidth and how teams decide the best way to divide work across writers, editors, strategists, agencies, and freelancers. We close with a look at the content formats and approaches that actually drive conversions in a world where discoverability and performance both matter. This episode gives content leaders a grounded view of how to evolve their strategy for the year ahead. For more, visit www.tenspeed.io.

    Session #8 - 2026 Planning Advice from B2B Leaders & Growth Unhinged B2B GTM Report

    In this Ten Speed Session, we dig into the biggest question facing B2B marketing leaders as they plan for 2026: If you could give one piece of advice to B2B marketing leaders heading into 2026, what would it be? We pulled together perspectives from some of the smartest operators in the industry, and a few themes surfaced again and again. Speed beats perfection. Brand measurement needs to grow up. Automation should clear the way for bold creative ideas. The modern buyer expects more than recycled tactics. Generalists are becoming the new in-house power players. And above all: stop waiting for certainty. In this conversation, Nate Turner and Kevin King synthesize guidance from leaders across Sprout Social, Ten Speed, Clearscope, 42 Agency, MKT1, and Growth Unhinged to build a clear picture of what actually matters going into 2026. Whether you're navigating declining SEO traffic, figuring out how to stay visible in AI search, or trying to get your team to move faster, this episode will help you focus on what counts and ignore what doesn’t. We cover: Why speed, agility, and imperfect execution will outperform polished plans The shift from vanity “brand = direct traffic” to real brand measurement Automation vs. alchemy: what to automate, what to pour creative energy into How the modern B2B buyer is changing and what that means for your playbooks Why generalists are becoming the in-house future (and how to hire around it) The importance of committing, executing, and avoiding analysis paralysis The GTM channels poised for real growth in 2026, including AI search If you’re leading a marketing team, planning your 2026 strategy, or just trying to cut through the noise, this episode gives you the clarity and momentum heading into the new year.

    Session #5 - Building a Unified Content Engine Beyond SEO/GEO

    In this episode, Nate Turner & Kevin King dig into five key areas of content marketing that often sit outside of the SEO/GEO conversation but are increasingly critical as B2B teams plan for 2026. From organic social and webinars to podcasts, data reports, and newsletters, these channels offer unique opportunities to drive efficiency and build authenticity in an AI-saturated landscape. They share insights on the level of effort, ease of testing, and practical advice for each, plus where they overlap and how they can be repurposed into a broader distribution-first strategy. The goal isn’t to chase every shiny object, but to understand which channels align with your ICP, budget, and bandwidth—and to execute them well enough to actually move the needle.
