Win high-value customers with Account-Based Marketing
This week's podcast jumps right into one of Sam's favorite topics, Account-Based Marketing (ABM). What is ABM? It's a strategic approach where B2B marketing and sales teams collaborate to identify, target, and nurture high-value accounts rather than casting a wide net. It's something that also plays right into Roop's favorite topic, content marketing through CRMs!Knowing who your best customer is beyond demographics is what we're talking about. By understanding your customer's likes and dislikes, challenges and problems on a real one-to-one level you can create content that endears them to your brand and more quickly moves them through your sales cycle. And who doesn't want to shorten their sales cycle and juice up that ROI? How do we know any of this works? We've done it for ourselves!The gang at Littlefield Agency is off for Turkey Day next week, so no podcast, but we hope you and your family have a wonderful holiday! — Brandon, Brenda, Claudia, Sam and RoopTell us what you think!

Emails! Emails! Emails! And other musings ...
In this week's Little Talks, we round out our recaps from INBOUND24 by diving into friend of the show, Jay Schwedelson's sessions at HubSpot's annual marketing conference. The man knows email (and we've covered plenty of that knowledge on past episodes), so this time we focus in on a couple of new email-related items and some other interesting tidbits from his main stage presentation.Jay’s top insight? Embrace lo-fi content! Over the past year, engagement on lo-fi videos has skyrocketed by 48%—and those unpolished, authentic moments on LinkedIn and Instagram are pulling in over 64% more interactions. As he says, “Nobody has a clue!”—test everything and don’t be afraid to fail.Jay also dropped a heads-up about Apple’s iOS 18 updates shaking up email marketing, especially with its new tabbed inboxes that could shift brand emails to “Promotions” limbo. His advice? Make newsletters feel personal—they see nearly 50% higher open rates than generic brand emails. And in true Jay fashion, he wrapped it all up with some advice on starting a podcast (they’re a hidden gem) and tackling tough tasks with his “Eat the Frog” mentality. Catch the full episode for more of Jay’s tips!Tell us what you think!

Is content still king?
Amidst the busy travel season of Fall Break, Sam and Roop continue to recap nuggets they learned from their time spent at INBOUND. With 4.6 billion new pieces of content created every day, Neil Patel emphasizes that the real trick isn’t about churning out endless amounts of it; instead, focus on quality over quantity. Blogging, for example, still packs a punch for B2B companies, driving up organic traffic, brand inquiries, and even conversion rates. But here’s the kicker—most top-performing content isn’t brand new, it’s remixed.And if you’re worried that your content needs to be polished to perfection, think again! Patel says lo-fi content is the way to go. In fact, those raw, unpolished videos you shot on your phone? They could get you 47% more views on LinkedIn than your fancy, edited pieces. So, whether you’re remastering old blog posts or getting casual with short-form video, there’s still plenty of room for creativity—and success—in today’s content landscape.Tell us what you think!

Now you can see a Gen Zer react in realtime to a millennial and Gen Xer.In this episode the gang channels their notes from INBOUND speaker extraordinaire Dawn Dodson on how TikTok can be your brand's secret weapon for meeting your next customer. Spoiler alert: it's not about recycling your old content! TikTok craves originality, so it’s time to shine a spotlight on your company heroes—whether you're in B2B or B2C—and create fun, engaging content that’s made just for the platform. With an average user age of 30 and sky-high engagement, even “boring” industries like finance can have a blast here. The best part? Comments aren’t just comments—they’re your new content ideas!

2025 Planning: What's next for B2B marketing?
It’s that time of year again—2025 planning is upon us! In this week’s episode of Little Talks, Sam and Roop break down everything you need to know to build a successful B2B strategy for the year ahead. They emphasize content marketing can play a huge role in your 2025 strategy. Blogs, podcasts, and even short-form video all play a role in creating an ongoing dialogue with your audience, inviting them to participate instead of just pushing messaging at them.Littlefield’s own Ditch Witch: Beyond the Moon, is a great example of a tool for engaging both current customers and prospects. By offering value beyond traditional advertisements, brands can build lasting relationships and create content that keeps people coming back for more.AND...Brenda is BACK!

How to navigate B2B marketing during an election year
As we are getting closer and closer to the upcoming election, we thought we would discuss perceived marketing challenges we often hear. With some handy charts and graphs, Sam explains how brands need to be more strategic with their timing and placement during election seasons, making sure that their messaging remains relevant.Since the 2016 presidential election, digital ads have become a staple in political campaigns, leading to significant increases in competition and costs. This trend continued in 2020, with political ad spending reaching a staggering $8.5 billion. The steady flow of political dollars into the market often starts bidding wars for prime advertising slots, driving up costs and making it difficult for small-to-medium-sized brands to maintain visibility.How do you deal with election season as a marketer? We have some thoughts.Tell us what you think!

Is content marketing worth it for B2B brands?
This week, we cover a question we hear from time to time from our B2B prospects: Does content marketing work?Our short answer: Yes!Today’s B2B customers are more empowered than ever before. They conduct their own research, seek out info online, and are hesitant to engage with sales reps until they’re well-informed about a product or service. B2B sales cycles can also be long and complex, with multiple decision-makers involved. Content marketing can help you stay top-of-mind with your prospects throughout their buying journey, providing them with valuable information and influence at each stage, nurturing them towards a purchase—and just as important—a repurchase.So listen in as Roop and Sam discuss content marketing's place in your B2B marketing strategy, and offer some opportunities you might not have considered.And come back next week when we tackle marketing challenges in an election year!Tell us what you think!

Apple's Mail Privacy Protection mess
Happy (early) Independence Day! The agency is looking forward to a long holiday weekend with friends and family, and hope you have a good one, too.

So this week we thought we would jump in and outline what Apple has done already, what it will be rolling out with future updates, and how it effects email marketing analytics.As users’ privacy concerns continue to become a big deal, obstacles like Apple has put in place will likely continue and even spread to other services like Gmail and Outlook.
