When it comes to marketing, everyone has opinions—but few have proof. That's where Professor Byron Sharp steps in.

In this episode, Drew sits down with the globally renowned marketing scientist and author of How Brands Grow to unpack what B2B marketers are getting wrong, what they should measure instead, and why focusing only on in-market buyers is a recipe for decline.

Byron drops truth bombs on:

• Why mental availability drives physical availability (not the other way around)

• How B2B marketers are shooting themselves in the foot with fluffy brand campaigns

• What to measure if you want to track real progress

• Why B2B growth takes time—and how to prove it's working

Plus, why CMOs should stop pretending that awareness is enough and start earning a place in buyers' brains before they're ready to buy.

Whether you're defending your brand budget to a CFO, fighting for longer-term investment, or just trying to grow your share of voice without blowing it all in Q1—this episode delivers the mental fuel (and science) to make your case.
