  • Why ABM success depends upon trust in account selection | Dan Shaw of Funnel Fuel on building foundations for ABM excellence

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Dan Shaw, CEO at Funnel Fuel. Together, they tackle one of the most overlooked yet critical aspects of Account-Based Marketing: account selection. While ABM has become a cornerstone strategy for B2B marketers, the foundational "A" in ABM is often neglected—leading to campaigns built on outdated data, misaligned objectives, and ultimately, broken trust between sales and marketing teams. So how do you get account selection right when it can make or break your entire ABM program?

    ➡️ Dan brings a refreshingly transparent perspective on what's actually going wrong in the ABM space and, more importantly, how to fix it. He challenges the industry's default position of promising 100% coverage rates and reveals why even the cleanest account lists can be nearly impossible to target with precision. From companies that no longer exist appearing on target lists to the fundamental disconnect between sales and marketing in defining those crucial accounts, Dan doesn't hold back. He explains why transparency must come before trust, how to leverage intent data and lookalike modeling intelligently, and why marketers need to stop being passengers in the account selection process. They also explore the practical steps marketing leaders can take to rebuild credibility, align with sales through data-driven conversations, and create ABM programs that actually move the needle—not just tick boxes.

    If you're frustrated with ABM programs that fail to deliver, struggling to get sales buy-in on your target accounts, or simply want to understand how to build stronger foundations for account-based success, this conversation delivers actionable insights that can transform your approach. Dan and Joel discuss real-world tactics for navigating poor data quality, the importance of distinguishing between growth, opportunity, and retention accounts, and why flexibility mid-campaign isn't a weakness—it's essential.

  • The Trust Advantage: Why ABM programmes Achieve 42% Higher ROI | with Robert Norum

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Robert Norum, one of the world's foremost advisers in account-based marketing and resident ABM expert at Propolis. In the buildup to B2B Marketing's Global ABM Conference, they explore a fascinating question: why do ABM programmes consistently achieve 42% higher ROI than traditional marketing approaches? The answer lies in something fundamental—trust. Through analysis of over 1,000 award entries, they uncover how personalized experiences and authentic engagement create a trust advantage that translates directly to bottom-line results.

    ➡️ Robert doesn't hold back as he shares why ABM should be the primary go-to-market strategy for most enterprise organizations. He unpacks the critical role of trust in transforming vendors into trusted advisors, revealing why 75% of successful ABM campaigns incorporate thought leadership while only 25% fully leverage customer advocacy—and what that gap really means. They dive deep into the practical challenges of personalization, exploring where the line sits between impressive customization and creepy surveillance, and how to stay on the right side of it. Robert also tackles the AI elephant in the room, explaining exactly where artificial intelligence adds value in ABM and where human intelligence remains irreplaceable. From breaking down marketing-sales silos to creating content that resonates at every stage of the buyer journey, this conversation covers the strategic foundations that make ABM work.

  • Synthetic Data - Beyond The Hype | with Lynsey Showman from Adience

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Lynsey Showman, a market research professional with over 20 years of experience at Adience, a B2B market research agency. Together, they tackle one of the most hyped yet misunderstood topics in B2B marketing today: synthetic data. With AI promising to revolutionize how we gather insights and inform thought leadership, the question isn't just whether synthetic data works—it's whether marketers can actually trust it to drive real business decisions.

    ➡️ Lynsey brings a refreshingly balanced perspective to the conversation, neither dismissing synthetic data outright nor accepting the hype uncritically. She walks through exactly how synthetic data is created—from training algorithms on existing datasets to generating artificial respondents that mimic real professionals—and explains why the quality of that foundational data matters more than the technology itself. The discussion covers where synthetic data shows genuine promise (overcoming sample size challenges, reducing costs, speeding up research timelines) and where it falls critically short (capturing emotional decision-making, generating unexpected insights, maintaining diversity and representation). They explore the ethical considerations, regulatory gray areas, and trust issues that currently make synthetic data better suited for augmenting human samples rather than replacing them entirely, especially when it comes to thought leadership that demands credibility and depth.

    If you're navigating the pressure to do more research with less budget and wondering whether synthetic data is the answer, this conversation provides the practical guidance you need. Lynsey's message is clear: experiment cautiously, understand your sources, validate rigorously, and recognize that we're not quite at the tipping point yet—but we're getting closer.

  • Why Advocacy is The Most Powerful Force in B2B | With Richard Fitzmaurice of Paartner

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Richard Fitzmaurice, serial B2B CMO and founder of Paartner, a B2B referral platform. Together, they tackle one of the most overlooked yet powerful forces in B2B marketing: advocacy and referrals. Why do most organizations fail to formalize referrals despite knowing they drive some of the best business outcomes? And what would it take to turn advocacy from an afterthought into a strategic priority?

    ➡️ Richard brings a unique perspective, having led marketing at globally recognized companies like TMF Group and their largest competitor before stepping into the startup world. He doesn't hold back on why referrals have remained informal for so long—the fear of compliance issues, the false belief that referrals should be based purely on karma, and the challenge of diverting limited marketing resources to something new. Along the way, they unpack the tension between doing more with less, the commercial value that marketers generate but rarely capture, and why now is the time to industrialize what has always worked but never been properly measured. They also explore Richard's journey from corporate CMO to founder, what it's taught him about building products that solve real problems, and how marketers can start giving themselves a pay rise by formalizing the referrals they're already making.

  • How to Unleash the Power of Youtube in B2B | With Katy Howell of Immediate Future

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Katy Howell, one of the foremost experts in social media and influencer marketing at Immediate Future. Together, they explore YouTube's untapped potential in B2B marketing and why it deserves a bigger role in your marketing strategy. With YouTube now ranking as the UK's second most popular content destination (ahead of ITV and Channel 4), the question isn't whether B2B brands should be there—it's how to do it effectively.

    ➡️ Katy brings over 21 years of social media expertise and doesn't hold back on what it really takes to succeed on YouTube. She reveals why B2B marketers need to think like broadcasters, not just content creators, and how YouTube works hand-in-hand with LinkedIn to create a powerful thought leadership ecosystem. They dive deep into the difference between content marketing (answering known questions) and true thought leadership (reframing the questions entirely), and why YouTube is the perfect platform for building trust through deeper, more substantive conversations. Katy also shares practical advice on getting started—from filming entire series in a single day to creating content that works across mobile, desktop, and TV screens. If you're ready to move beyond surface-level content and create programming that genuinely influences buyer behavior, this conversation will show you exactly how to do it.

  • Building trust with the C-suite | With Izzie Rivers of Realm

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Izzie Rivers, Founder of Realm B2B and a seasoned B2B media strategist with 25 years of experience spanning major agencies like Dentsu, WPP, and Ogilvy. Together, they tackle one of the most challenging questions in B2B marketing: How do you build genuine trust with C-suite executives who are bombarded with messages, famously skeptical of advertising, and have limited time for anything that feels like marketing? Can smaller companies actually compete for executive attention without massive budgets, or should they focus their efforts elsewhere?

    ➡️ Izzie brings hard-won insights from cracking the C-suite code for enterprise clients, including award-winning campaigns that achieved 92% pipeline influence and internal content that outperformed standard marketing by 500%. She doesn't hold back on the uncomfortable truths—like why targeting C-suite executives on a shoestring budget often fails, and why marketers need to be brutally honest about what they can actually achieve. Along the way, they explore the "people-first advantage" where authentic employee voices dramatically outperform corporate messaging, quality-over-quantity channel selection that prioritizes executive trust over broad reach, and strategic consistency that builds cumulative trust even with limited resources. They also dive into the realities of measuring trust, the power of passion points (from F1 to heavy metal), and why the executive buying journey requires nine-plus exposures to move the needle.

  • Physical vs Digital in B2B Trust Building | Vanessa Schotes on Creating Authentic Island Experiences via Enfuce Island

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Vanessa Schotes, CMO at Enfuse. Together, they explore one of the most audacious brand experiences in B2B history: a FinTech company that purchased an actual island in the Nordic Sea between Sweden and Finland. When most B2B brands are doubling down on digital-only strategies, how does investing in a physical island translate into deeper customer trust and accelerated deal velocity?

    ➡️ Vanessa brings a refreshingly bold perspective on experiential marketing that challenges the traditional B2B playbook. She reveals how Enfuse moved beyond "random acts of content" to create what they call the "Enfuse feeling"—a carefully crafted brand experience that combines subliminal sensory marketing with authentic Nordic heritage. Along the way, they unpack the practical realities of navigating anti-bribery regulations, the strategic use cases for island visits (from ABM workshops to thought leadership gatherings), and how physical experiences can create "big brand energy" that influences buyer perception. They also explore the delicate balance between digital hygiene factors and immersive relationship-building moments that generate lasting business impact. This isn't just about owning an island—it's about authentically bringing your brand values to life in ways that create memorable, trust-building moments with enterprise customers.

  • Reddit's B2B Awakening | Luan Wise & Andy Lambert on Generative Engine Optimization and What It Means for Your Social Strategy

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Luan Wise, social media expert and author of five books on social strategy, and Andy Lambert, content strategist at Adobe and co-organizer of the Social Media B2B Forum. Together, they tackle one of the most pressing shifts in modern B2B marketing: how Generative Engine Optimization (GEO) is fundamentally changing where and how your content gets discovered. With 60% of searches now ending without a click, are traditional gated content strategies becoming obsolete?

    ➡️ Luan and Andy bring decades of combined expertise in B2B social media strategy, and they don't hold back on the uncomfortable truths. They reveal why platforms like Reddit—often dismissed as "too niche" for B2B—are now driving disproportionate discovery through AI-powered search engines. Along the way, they unpack the dangerous gap between what marketing leadership expects (immediate MQLs) and what actually builds sustainable growth in this new landscape. They also explore why Instagram is quietly becoming more B2B-relevant, how community strategy trumps platform tactics every time, and why the era of "just post it on social" is definitively over. Most importantly, they share practical steps you can take today—starting with a 10-minute Reddit research exercise that could transform your understanding of what customers really think about your brand.

  • Stuart Maister on Building Trust Through Flexible Storytelling and Strategic Narrative

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Stuart Maister, author of "Choose Trust: Building Relationships for Successful Businesses" published by The Economist. Stuart brings a unique perspective as a former TV and radio journalist turned B2B marketing strategist, combining his background in distilling complex stories for broadcast with deep expertise in strategic narrative development. What happens when trust becomes the intentional foundation of every business relationship, rather than just a nice-to-have byproduct?

    ➡️ Stuart introduces his "Trust Triangle" framework—clarity, character, and capability—and explains why trust isn't just about being trustworthy, but about consciously designing high-trust relationships that can weather the inevitable changes and challenges in long-term B2B partnerships. He shares a compelling real-world example of how two major organizations on a mega infrastructure project nearly derailed their partnership when trust collapsed, and how rebuilding that trust became critical to project success. The conversation explores why clarity forms the foundation of trust (and how lack of alignment on ambitions guarantees disappointment), how to establish behavioral expectations that work both ways in true partnerships, and why monitoring relationship health is just as important as tracking technical deliverables. Stuart's jazz metaphor for modern business storytelling is particularly powerful—explaining why you need a central "tune" that people can riff on, rather than trying to control every message in classical symphony style.

  • The Most Human Organisation Wins: The Trust Challenge Facing B2B Sales, with Tim Hughes

    In this episode of Trust and Influence in B2B Marketing, Joel Harrison sits down with Tim Hughes, Co-founder of DLA Ignite and author of the seminal book "Social Selling." Together, they tackle one of the most pressing challenges facing modern B2B sales: how AI has fundamentally shifted the buyer's journey and what this means for building trust and winning deals. With buyers now starting 70% of their research with ChatGPT rather than Google, how do sales and marketing teams adapt to stay relevant in an AI-first world?

    ➡️Tim brings decades of sales experience and a no-nonsense perspective on what's working (and what's definitively dead) in today's market. He reveals why cold calling is becoming obsolete for complex B2B sales, how the "most human organization wins" in an increasingly automated landscape, and why your entire team—not just sales—needs to be actively building trust through social media. They dive deep into the psychology of modern buying behavior, the critical shift from interruption-based outreach to relationship-building, and how AI is creating both massive opportunities and dangerous blind spots for B2B organizations. Tim also shares real examples from clients like Salesforce who are achieving 187% growth while their competitors struggle, and explains the fundamental mindset shift needed to thrive in this new environment.

About Trust & Influence in B2B

From the publisher's feed

I’m Joel Harrison, founder of B2B Marketing.net (formerly B2B Marketing magazine) Propolis and the B2B Marketing Awards. It’s been my mission for the past 21 years to recognise, celebrate and evangelise for the amazing profession that is B2B marketing, which has evolved beyond that recognition in that time.
