Lashay Lewis shares on the positioning issue that she notices in smaller SaaS startups, which have a limited amount of use cases: “They’re working on adding use cases to become more horizontal vs vertical. And lots of times they’re competing with companies that are more of a full service solution.” Lashay notes, that as a small startup, you can still compete with a full-service company, but you have to compete on the specific use case that you serve.

Anthony Pierri goes against the popular narrative that impressions are just a vanity metric. He supports that with his real-life experience of 1-to-1 correlation between LinkedIn engagement and sales calls: “Our sales calls were feeling low these last few weeks, so I blocked out a good chunk of time to create some of the highest quality posts that I could. Three of them did particularly well in terms of reach, and as a result, the following week quickly became flooded with sales calls.” Anthony concludes: “The more eyeballs on your posts… the more business you can get.” Access the full post here.

Roman Krs shares the #1 issue that he sees during his LinkedIn ad campaigns audits. It’s bad targeting. He states that most B2B SaaS businesses waste money on LinkedIn Ads precisely because of it. He also shares his step-by-step process to setting up targeting on LinkedIn, which you can access in his original post here.

Roman also shares a useful tactic to reach your target audience at scale on LinkedIn:

“Step 1: Write posts targeted to your ideal customer.

Step 2: Post it on your personal profile

Step 3: Promote the post to your target audience

Step 4: Create more content and promote”

The full post is well worth reading in its entirety, and you can access it here.

Josh Lowman shares how to own your category as a founder. He distills it into 6 steps:

“1) Answer the central question.

2) Choose your Category Play.

3) Write your Category POV.

4) Use the three levers of differentiation.

5) Unify product and marketing.

6) Repeat, measure, improve.”

Bryan Bumbgardner shares interesting data from Northbeam on YouTube Cost Per Clicks, which dropped 50% in 2024. Bryan states: “This makes YouTube ad placements some of the strongest awareness and brand generation weapons on the market right now.” Access the full post here.

Erik MacKinnon is sharing awesome stats on where B2B marketers are spending their budgets (based on his survey of 100 marketing leaders). His main takeaways are that digital ads continue to dominate, and in-person events are back. Also, “there is a huge long-tail of spending in B2B” – which is reflected in that “Other” category at the bottom of the chart: “That’s *twenty* different marketing channels, from TikTok Ads to Podcast Ads to Apple’s App Store ads.” Access Erik’s post here.
