    The B2B Playbook Podcast is entertaining and informative. George and Kevin have a fun discussion as they go deep on B2B marketing through the lens of their 5B’s framework. The Framework is well-researched, easy to understand and most importantly, actionable. Every time I listen to an episode I learn something new and helpful about B2B marketing. The B2B Playbook Podcast is the most practical and useful podcast I listen to. Highly recommend

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

#228: Demand Generation vs Lead Generation (Why Most Teams Get It Wrong) Plus 2026 demand gen strategy
Q: How should teams balance demand creation versus demand capture, especially when leadership is pushing for short-term results?
Don't abandon demand capture entirely, but recognize its diminishing returns at scale. The focus should shift to shaping future demand for the 95% of buyers not currently in-market while still engaging the 5% who are actively shopping. Build a coherent plan that pairs brand trust and awareness with ongoing in-market activities, so you're on the shortlist when buyers are ready.
#221: How to Measure Brand Marketing in B2B (Without Guessing) - Matt Maynard from Asana
Q: What do you think the mechanism system is that brand should be selling?
The mechanism is about reaching future buyers and building memory in realistic buying situations rather than pitching brand as an art project; start with a grounded case (the 95.5 approach) and gradually invest in broadening reach to future buyers using lightweight signals and category entry point research, including AI-assisted directionally correct insights.
#222: How This Startup Beat Big Brands - B2B2C Marketing Strategy - Alex Bedwani from PetsOnMe
Q: What does a typical activation look like once a partnership is established to convert members into policyholders?
Activation revolves around being different and offering engaging experiences (like dog competitions) and ensuring the member journey is personalized, with the vendor handling most logistics to ease the partner's workload and deliver a clear benefit to members.
#222: How This Startup Beat Big Brands - B2B2C Marketing Strategy - Alex Bedwani from PetsOnMe
Q: At what point, well, first of all, I think it'd be really helpful for our listeners and viewers to understand Alex, what does a B2B angle look like for PetsOnMe?
The approach centers on corporate partners and professional associations, offering employee benefits and tailored services, with a focus on one-to-one alignment to the member or employee's needs, rather than relying solely on a pure B2C effort.
#218: Why Being Funny in B2B Marketing is a Serious Brand Strategy (and How To Do It!) - Deadpan's Luke Winter
Q: How would people approach creating series rather than one-off ads?
Focus on recurring characters and a consistent world; build a mini-sitcom for the brand, test ideas with memes first, then roll out a series with multiple ads that reinforce the same themes rather than reinventing the wheel each time.
