In this episode of B2B Marketing: The Provocative Truth, Benedict talks with Jigsaw's Head of Marketing, Jason Miller about the renewed importance of brand in B2B marketing.
Once seen as “fluffy” or reserved for consumer giants, brand is now the foundation for differentiation, trust and long-term growth. Jason argues that lead gen and performance marketing alone can’t cut it, and explains how clarity of message, consistency and community are what really drive results.
From defining a singular brand story to challenging the over-reliance on AI-generated messaging, Jason shares how B2B marketers can build lasting trust – and why those who ignore brand risk being left behind.
