B2B Marketing Podcast

How do you build a B2B growth services business from scratch? That was the key question that we wanted to ask Craig Dempster, the founding CEO of Trilliad, which has announced its arrival with a clutch of acquisitions (including 2023 Global B2B Agency of the Year Just Global) and the promise of more to follow. We interviewed Craig for the latest episode of the B2B Marketing Podcast, where we discussed the significance of Trilliad’s strategy to build a services business that could deliver against the entire B2B growth agenda – meaning encompassing services for sales and customer success as well as marketing. We also asked him about what tempted him back out of retirement following the sale of Merkle, where he had been CEO, as well as the secret to a great acquisition.

It’s an open secret that B2B lead generation has some big problems. The sector has grown exponentially in recent years, with growth in self-service tech platforms and offshore telemarketing expanding the options available to marketers, driving down costs but too often taking quality with it. As an industry veteran of 30 years standing, Tony Uphoff felt it was time to speak out, writing an open letter to the industry, calling out bad practice and defining what’s required to set the lead gen sector straight. We enjoyed discussing this refreshingly honest views on lead gen for the B2B Marketing Podcast – if you’re looking to understand how to improve your lead gen activities, it’s a must-listen.
