Lucas and Luna break down the latest B2B marketing compensation data from the 2026 Marketing Salary Survey by the B2B Marketing Association. They discuss how roles like demand gen manager and ABM director have seen base salary increases of 12-15% year-over-year, while specialist roles have lagged. The hosts explore why companies are paying premiums for marketers who can prove pipeline influence, and what that means for career growth in enterprise B2B. Specific salary bands for San Francisco, New York, and remote roles are compared, with a focus on the skill sets that command top dollar.

Episode 22 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo digs into the underused power of customer referral programs for enterprise sales. Lucas and Luna examine how a cybersecurity brand called Arctic Security cut its customer acquisition cost by 40 percent within six months of launching a structured referral incentive. They walk through the specific mechanics: why cash rewards work better than discounts for long-sales-cycle products, how to tier rewards based on deal size, and why a referral program demands the same operational rigor as an ABM motion. The episode also covers the risks — channel conflict, bad-fit referrals, and the challenge of getting sales teams to actually ask for introductions. Listeners walk away with a concrete framework for building a referral engine that complements existing demand generation. Plus a short beat on how listener support keeps the show ad-free.

Lucas and Luna tackle one of the most persistent challenges in B2B marketing: proving which touchpoints actually drive revenue. They unpack a Gartner study showing that B2B buying groups average 11 decision-makers, making last-click attribution nearly useless. Lucas shares how one enterprise software company replaced their legacy model with a multi-touch attribution framework that credits marketing for 40% more pipeline influence, and why the C-suite finally bought into it. He explains the difference between first-touch, last-touch, U-shaped, and time-decay models, and gives a concrete example of how weighting content consumption vs. demo requests changed budget allocation. Luna pushes back on whether attribution is worth the engineering overhead, and Lucas walks through the minimum viable setup that doesn't require a data lake. The episode closes with a practical takeaway: start with a simple weighted model in a spreadsheet before investing in a platform. No fluff, no vendor pitches—just a real conversation about connecting marketing spend to closed deals.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna dive into how B2B marketers are using generative AI to create personalized account-based experiences at scale—without blowing up the budget. They break down a real case from a mid-market cybersecurity firm that used AI to generate tailored landing pages, email sequences, and sales plays for each of its top 200 accounts. The result: a 35% lift in meeting rates and a 20% shorter sales cycle. They also discuss the tools (including Jasper and Copy.ai), the pitfalls (generic output, data hygiene), and why the human-in-the-loop still matters. If you're in B2B marketing and wondering how to make AI work for ABM without losing the personal touch, this episode is for you.

In this episode, Lucas and Luna explore the rise of virtual deal rooms in B2B sales — collaborative digital spaces where buyers and sellers interact throughout the buying process. The hosts anchor the discussion around a specific case: how Gong's internal deal room experiment reduced their own sales cycle by 18 percent in 2025. Lucas breaks down why traditional email-and-attachment workflows fail for enterprise deals with 10-plus stakeholders, and how deal rooms solve the 'dossier problem' by keeping all materials, questions, and competitive intel in one place. Luna challenges the framing by asking whether deal rooms are just a repackaged extranet, and Lucas cites data from a 2025 Gartner survey showing that buying groups with access to a deal room are 2.4 times more likely to make a vendor shortlist. The conversation also touches on the tension between giving buyers control and maintaining seller influence, the role of intent signals from deal room activity, and how the best deal rooms feel less like a sales pitch and more like a shared war room. No marketing fluff — just a sharp look at a quietly transformative tool.

Episode 18 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo dives into partner-led account-based marketing — a strategy where co-branded campaigns with channel partners cut through enterprise inertia. Lucas and Luna break down a real case from a cybersecurity firm that used joint webinars, co-created content, and shared account tiers to accelerate deals by 2x compared to direct-only outreach. They discuss why partner trust opens doors faster, how to align tiering models between organizations, and the metrics that prove co-selling works. The episode includes concrete steps for building a partner ABM playbook, from account selection to performance tracking. If you're in B2B marketing and wondering why your direct ABM campaigns stall at the 6-month mark, this one's for you.

Episode 17 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo dives into a practical case study of how a mid-market SaaS company, CloudVector, transformed its account-based marketing after third-party cookies were deprecated. Lucas and Luna break down how CloudVector built a first-party data engine using zero-party surveys, behavioral scoring, and CRM enrichment to replace lost cookie signals. They reveal specific tactics: how they used progressive profiling to capture firmographic data, how they scored intent from email engagement and content consumption, and how this approach led to a 22% increase in meeting conversion rates and a 15% reduction in cost per qualified lead. The episode also touches on the shift from external data reliance to customer-owned data as a strategic asset. If you're a B2B marketer grappling with the post-cookie landscape, this episode gives you a concrete framework and real numbers to justify your next move.

Episode 16 of B2B Marketing with Fexingo. Lucas and Luna drill into the specific mechanics of nurture sequences for account-based marketing when the target account has zero prior engagement. They break down a real example: how a mid-market cybersecurity vendor used a 60-day, three-phase nurture sequence — triggered by firmographic fit, not intent — to convert 12 cold tier-2 accounts into qualified meetings. They discuss the email cadence (week 1: problem intro, week 2: peer case study, week 3: ROI calculator, week 6: direct outreach from an AE), the role of LinkedIn retargeting, and how the sequence handed off to sales without an MQL stage. No vague ABM theory. Just the actual playbook, the metrics, and the gotchas — including why the vendor removed the demo request button from all nurture emails until day 45.

In this episode of B2B Marketing with Fexingo, Lucas and Luna dive into how one enterprise software company used buyer intent data from G2 and TechTarget to prioritize accounts and shorten their sales cycle by 22 percent. They walk through the actual tiering framework, the trigger events that moved accounts from 'nurture' to 'active', and how the sales team changed their outreach cadence. Lucas shares a specific example of a $1.2 million deal that closed 3 months faster because of a spike in intent from a previously cold account. The hosts also discuss the pitfalls of acting on noisy intent signals and how to set up a feedback loop between SDRs and marketing. No theories, just a real implementation with measurable results.
