S2 E11 - Why founders should build a personal brand on LinkedIn
A founder with a strong LinkedIn personal brand is like the equivalent of having 15-20 SDR's.a.k.a. they can drive substantial pipeline all by themselves.In 2024 and onwards...---The B2B companies that place their founder (+ execs) at the heart of their content strategy will gain a real competitive advantage over those who don't.---Why? Two main reasons:---1) Personalities now dominate the inter-webs NOT faceless corps.---2) A personal brand is the best way (outside of in person networking) to build trust and relationships at scale.

S2 E9 - A beginners guide to YouTube for B2B with Ben Toalson
Very few B2B companies have cracked YouTube.
---
Why? 🤔
---
I think because from the outside: YouTube looks incredibly daunting.
---
With creators now like MrBeast and others taking their content to a whole different level... it's easy to just look at it and think "well, we can't match that... so let's not even bother"
---
And so in the majority of cases - companies just completely avoid it.
---
But here's the thing:
---
You don't need a MrBeast (or insert other big name creator) video strategy to win on YouTube as a B2B SaaS/tech company. Nope.
---
In fact, in the early days, you can take a very simple lo-fi production approach to YouTube AND still build very strong momentum.
---
For this next episode of Video First, I've brought on Ben Toalson to help me tackle some of the common limiting beliefs B2B marketers have around YouTube as a channel. As well as the roadmap for how you should approach it as a complete beginner and novice.
---
Ben led the growth of one of my favourite B2B YouTube channels (Podia) and shared some highly *actionable* advice during this conversation. -

AJ Wilcox used to be totally against LinkedIn video ads.
---

---
🚀 He's super bullish on them.
---
And it's now a format he's leaning into heavily - both for his own agency as well as his clients.
---

---
- Why AJ changed his mind on video ads and what's changed.
- How/why you should be using video in your LinkedIn ads strategy.
- The future of YouTube for B2B companies.
