89. Series 3 | Episode 4. Why Fundamentals Matter More Than Anything Else When Marketing for a B2B Tech Startup, with Paul Berney, CMO at Anthropos

Matt Dodgson Season 3 Episode 4

New tools, strategies, and tactics are readily available in today's marketing environment, making it easy to become distracted. Throw AI into the mix, and it’s clear to see why a lot of B2B marketers see focus as their number one challenge.

And those challenges are particularly heightened for marketers who work for B2B tech startups. These jobs, by their very nature, are incredibly hard. High expectations, limited time, and stretched resources mean you have to spend your time wisely; otherwise, you risk making no impact at all.

Which is why marketing fundamentals matter more than anything else. And in this podcast episode, it’s something that I dig into with Paul Berney, CMO at Anthropos.  


We cover;

  • What attracted Paul to work at such an early stage startup
  • What marketing fundamentals are and why they're so important for success in marketing at startups
  • How Paul has used marketing fundamentals to build and grow a new sector at Anthropos 
  • Tips for anyone wanting to create or refine a company's proposition 
  • What skills and traits Paul would look for if he was a CEO at a startup who was looking to hire their first marketer


And so much more.
