Kate calls out the need for marketing to be more authentic and personalised and how many B2B organisations still fail to leverage marketing technology, automation and account based management to connect with customers. Kate is very authentic herself and shares her thoughts on how brands should be more human and helpful during COVID-19. 

Kate also talks lucidly about why marketers are often "over-looked" for the more strategic, commercial discussions around the board table. Kate then makes her own personal commitment on what she pledges to do differently herself. Tune in to find out what!

In this episode, Paul talks to Jazz Hanley, startup founder and Partnerships and Propositions Lead for Tech Nation, the govt backed growth platform for tech companies and leaders. Tech Nation's recent 2020 report revealed that UK tech investment in 2019 grew 44% to £10bn, but how has #COVID19 changed this trajectory?

Jazz and I discuss how the crisis will impact entrepreneurs, startups, funding and debate which tech sectors will grow. Jazz also talks about how the entire system of work has been dislocated and that now is the time for reset - the time for innovation and new businesses to be born, not for shutting up shop.
