The Dave Gerhardt Show (from Exit Five)

How B2B Marketers Are Actually Using AI for Content


Listen Later

#278 Content | In this episode, Dave brings together five B2B marketers who aren’t just talking about AI, they’re actually using it to change how their teams work. Each finalist from the Exit Five x Walnut AI Sessions takes the (virtual) stage to demo their workflow, share results, and answer questions from the judges.


Here’s what you’ll hear:

  • Jillian Hoefer’s “content concierge” GPT trained on proprietary research to surface stats, quotes, and data for blogs, sales decks, and thought leadership
  • Jake Heap’s workflow using Meshy + VEO 3 to turn a simple mascot into animated 3D brand characters in minutes
  • Jessica Lytle’s no-code ROI calculator built in Lovable that sales reps now run live on calls to build business cases
  • Ugi Djuric’s high-volume content engine that scrapes industry news and sales call transcripts, then uses AI to summarize, generate content ideas, and even score leads
  • Anton Ruis’ AI-powered buyer brief builder that pulls real-time economic data and tailors sales messaging to specific personas

It’s part workshop, part competition, and packed with creative, tactical ways to put AI to work in B2B marketing today.
