A proposito di questo titolo

B2B tech marketers must deliver on the fundamentals: build a trusted brand, develop differentiated positioning, and generate qualified demand that sales can convert into revenue. At the same time, we must harness rapid advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to improve marketing scale and efficiency. Do more with less before being asked.

The core idea behind the A Go-To-Market Perspective podcast is simple: reinforce the foundational best practices across every go-to-market discipline while discovering the hype-free AI innovations delivering real impact today. Each episode features in-depth conversations with experienced marketing leaders across product marketing, demand generation, brand, content, PR, analyst relations, customer advocacy, sales enablement, and more. We go deep into what consistently works: the frameworks, tradeoffs, and operating models behind high-performing teams. Critically, guests will also share how they are thoughtfully leveraging AI to evolve their specific functions and processes, with a focus on practical, responsible applications that enhance execution without compromising results.

Hosted by Rob Karel, a seasoned B2B SaaS marketing executive with more than 25 years of experience across product marketing, go-to-market strategy, brand, and executive storytelling. Rob brings a practitioner-first perspective shaped by leadership roles in enterprise software, analyst research, and consulting—focused on what actually works to drive relevance, differentiation, and growth in complex B2B markets.
