If predicting the future were as easy as looking into a crystal ball, we'd all be billionaires. So as we round out Season 3 of the Catalyst Podcast, we do the next best thing: invite Carilu Dietrich to the podcast.
Carilu is a strategic advisor to high growth tech companies, with experience across the board as a marketing executive at a Fortune 100, a pre-IPO unicorn and a Series C startup. Before her most recent role as CMO of Classy, a startup providing online fundraising software to nonprofits, Carilu was the Head of Corporate Marketing at Atlassian, where she helped reposition the company for its successful IPO.
In this episode, LeadMD CEO Justin Gray chats with Carilu about the questions on all our minds: will things return to normal? How are organizations gaining exposure to buyers? What are the top takeaways from the last year? Carilu also addresses how marketers can make themselves indispensable and shares why she's optimistic about 2021 and beyond.
Jeff Miller spent the last 10 years of his career at the intersection of technology and transportation, once as a founding CEO, once as an executive at Uber and more recently as an investor and advisor to venture and private equity backed companies. But like everyone else, he found himself at a crossroads in the spring of 2020 when COVID-19 began to spread across the United States and the world.
In this episode, LeadMD CEO Justin Gray welcomes Jeff to the podcast to share the catalyst moment that drove him to found Helping Hands Community, a non-profit organization created to slow the spread of COVID-19 through tech-enabled, community volunteerism. Jeff shares how the organization went from idea to launch in 10 days, why the organization is completely volunteer-run, and leadership practices that have helped him along the way.

Allen also identifies which companies made smart moves navigating COVID-19 and breaks down his expectations for "the new normal".
In the spring of 2020, when the world shifted to remote working, organizations from every vertical turned to video as a means to connect and share messages in lieu of in-person meetings. And for the B2B sector, video became a lifeline to prospective buyers and customers. So it should come as no surprise that Vidyard, a leading video platform for marketing and sales video hosting, saw a 400% increase in the number of weekly signups for its free product with the first two weeks of quarantine.
In this episode, host Justin Gray chats with Tyler Lessard, VP of Marketing at Vidyard, about the surge in personalized videos, how marketing and sales teams are leveraging it, and how video is shaping the future of B2B sales. They also discuss how Vidyard managed the sudden, enormous spike in business, the ways the team adjusted its focus and why video is at the center of a cultural shift in communication.

He describes which aspects of the workplace were already primed for change and why 2020 became the catalyst for positive growth, especially in areas like mental health and social justice.
Out-of-Home (OOH) advertising used to be considered a top of funnel tactic for B2B marketers needing to raise brand awareness. But today, it's so much more than that.

In this episode, Justin and Matt discuss how COVID-19 affected what was set to be an unprecedented year of OOH growth in 2020 and how OOH is expected to rebound as the world opens back up. They also discuss how OOH can support performance marketing and which KPIs B2B marketers should focus on.
