Here’s a glimpse of what you’ll learn: 

  • [04:00] How B2B marketing has shifted from traditional ads to digital
  • [08:30] Why the buyer’s journey isn’t a straight line anymore
  • [12:00] How to align marketing efforts with sales goals to drive opportunities
  • [20:00] Why AI is a tool, not a replacement for human creativity

In this episode…

The buyer’s journey has changed and so should your marketing. In this episode, Jeff Bradburry and Carlos Corredor talk through how the shift to digital has changed what marketing needs to focus on. It’s no longer about pushing content or chasing clicks, but about creating qualified opportunities that lead to real pipeline. They challenge the idea of being “data-driven” when the data is just clicks, and explain why cold email or paid search still have value—it all depends on where the buyer is in their process. If your marketing isn’t tied to sales, it’s not doing its job.

Quotable Moments:

  • “People don’t start at the top of the funnel and just move straight down anymore. They dip in and out of different parts of the funnel as they fill up their information needs.”
  • “It’s tough to come up with a compelling story, but when you do, people usually are happy to accept that.”
  • “The magic in content comes from the human. AI helps multiply that output.”

Action Steps:

  1. Stop focusing on vanity metrics; track inbound opportunities, not just clicks.
  2. Craft a story that resonates with human emotions and needs.
  3. Align marketing with sales goals to create real opportunities.
  4. Be agile in your approach—pivot when something doesn’t work.
  5. Use AI to improve efficiency, but always ensure human creativity drives content.
