Ungated Marketing Landbot

Content is one of the most discussed strategies in B2B digital marketing. Despite how hard it is to trace its connection to revenue, the topic stays hot. After all, when done right, it performs marketing miracles and makes the stuff of legends for future generations. 


How do you get it right, though? 


Most importantly, why do most brands miss the mark?


In the last episode of season one of Ungated Marketing, Fernando interviews Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro, with a storied and very successful career in content marketing. She generously shares her experiences–successes and fails alike–as well as the secret recipe you need to spread contentment among your audiences.

A classic becomes a classic for a reason — there’s something about it, whatever it is, that conveys a feeling of timeless quality or worth.

If Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks make for one of the most, if not the most, classic pairings in romantic comedies, then email is easily the classic online marketing channel. No matter what comes its way, it remains untouched, even after it’s been considered a dead channel many times over.

What is it about email marketing that makes marketers keep gravitating toward it?

In this week’s episode of Ungated Marketing, I interview Rui Nunes, Founder at ​​sendXmail, an email marketing and automation agency, and Zopply, a full digital service agency, on his all-encompassing view on email marketing over the years and the dos and don’ts of building a successful email marketing strategy.

B2B sales and marketing in all its vagueness, long sales cycles, and shiny vanity matrics can be frustrating. It’s not unusual for B2B companies to get stuck between the old strategies and their need to modernize and, consequently, make an even bigger mess. 

Why can’t things be simple like in B2C marketing?

Or can they?

Gaetano DiNardi, currently a VP of Growth at Aura, a B2C digital security solution, thinks they can. As a pro who made a name for himself in B2B marketing before jumping ship and swimming towards the less frustrating horizons of B2C, he knows what he is talking about, too! 

In this week’s episode of Ungated Marketing, Fernando Amaral interviews Gaetano about his experiences in both B2B and B2C, the reasons behind the switch, and his beliefs that B2B needs to take a good hard look at itself if it wants to survive in the modern world and take an example from B2C.

Building a personal brand has become common practice in the marketing world. You don’t have to look very far into LinkedIn to find marketers posting about industry topics, commenting on current affairs, or advertising their content platforms like blogs or podcasts.

Yet no matter how popular the practice, there’s still no one-size-fits-all strategy to follow in order to jump in on the trend and build a successful personal brand.

In this week’s episode, I interview Daniel Murray, Marketing Operations Leader and Solutions Consultant at Clearbit, and host of The Marketing Millennials podcast, about how he’s been building and growing both his personal and his podcast brands on LinkedIn.

Struggling to get across what your product or service is about? Nobody said it was easy… After all, getting your messaging right is as important as the product itself. The issue is, many people do think it is easy—a narrative that creates a false sense of security and, consequently, a lot of websites that leave visitors more confused than informed.

If you are stuck in a loop of feeling perpetually misunderstood by your customers and the market, tune in to this week's episode. Our host, Fernando Amaral, interviews Diane Wiredu, the founder, conversion copywriter, and brand message strategist at Lion Words, who shares her tactics for creating a fail-proof messaging playbook.

Join us as we discuss:

What is messaging and why does clarity matter
What and who it takes to create a messaging playbook

In recent years, nothing has sparked as much debate in the B2B marketing world as TikTok. The video-focused platform amounted to 1 billion users in 2021; however, B2B marketers are still wary of braving their way through this still unknown territory. 

Is it worth it? What does it bring to the table? Are B2B audiences even scrolling through TikTok?

Todd Clouser wants to set the record straight. TikTok is definitely worth investing in, and in a year, everyone — yes, even B2B marketers — will be on there. 

In this week’s episode, I interview Todd Clouser, Senior Brand Marketing Manager at Refine Labs, about how he got started on TikTok and how he’s been using it to leverage his presence on other platforms.
