Ty Heath has a way of making complex marketing ideas feel deceptively simple.
After our latest conversation with the former LinkedIn B2B Institute leader, we sat down to unpack the biggest ideas that stayed with us—from why B2B is simply "marketing on hard mode," to why confidence may be the true outcome of great B2B marketing.
Along the way we explore:
- Why the same marketing principles apply across B2B and B2C
- Buying committees and why complexity changes execution—not human behaviour
- Why the best B2B brands build ecosystems instead of campaigns
- The power of contrarian thinking
- Why strategy should outlast trends
- Confidence, memory and long-term brand building
If you've ever wondered whether B2B marketing really plays by different rules, this conversation may change your mind.
