  • How ReelFlow turns website visitors into buyers with authentic video
    Nov 22 2025

    B2B buyers want control, clarity, and human connection.

    In this episode, Chris Nelson talks with ReelFlow co-founder Chris Wickson about transforming static, text-heavy websites into interactive, buyer-led experiences using short, authentic video.

    Chris shares his founder journey (two exits), the shift in B2B buying behaviour, and why engagement metrics like lower bounce and longer sessions matter more than chasing form-fills.

    We dive into smart use cases, homepages, pricing pages, and campaign landing pages and how Real Flow approaches AI avatars with transparency and ethics.

    We finish with event strategy and SaaStock Europe plans.

    If you market or sell B2B, this is your playbook for building trust at scale.

  • How Phil Ilic wins on LinkedIn: Thought Leader Ads, Loom Videos & Human Content
    Nov 13 2025

    LinkedIn is evolving. In this episode, Phil Ilic from Kiin.co breaks down exactly how he grows B2B demand with an authentic, human-first approach.

    We dig into what no longer works on LinkedIn (automation blasts, AI slop) and what does: a tight content cadence, warm outbound to engagers, and one killer Loom video that consistently books calls.

    Phil explains why Thought Leader Ads outperform company posts, how to boost customer and community posts for powerful social proof, and the three creative buckets, Social Proof, Features/Benefits, and Education, that keep your pipeline warm.

    We also talk practicalities: getting your team to post, repurposing winners, and running simple experiments that create original insights.

    If you market on LinkedIn, this is your playbook.

  • Recipes for Demand: Patrick Cumming on thought Leadership, LinkedIn reality, and measurement
    Sep 26 2025

    Head of Marketing Patrick Cumming (KlientBoost) joins Chris Nelson to unpack how to market a marketing agency and why being your own ICP changes everything.

    Patrick lifts the lid on KlientBoost Kitchen, a media-style engine that ships “recipe” playbooks across YouTube, podcasts, newsletters and LinkedIn carousels.

    He breaks down thought leadership that links to product, when thought leader ads outperform, and why LinkedIn video needs a new playbook.

    Then it gets tactical: fixing content that fails (ego vs relevance), choosing design that performs over pretty, and measuring brand with his “Measurement Trident”, media mix modelling, geo-based lift tests and validation over the right time horizon.

    If you care about human-first content that still drives pipeline, this is your blueprint.
