Between 2,500 and 3,000. That’s the approximate number of competitors every cybersecurity lead generation campaign you launch faces. And it’s not like a target audience of CISOs and CSOs is an easy one to impress.
The buzz around Account-Based Marketing (ABM) is impossible to ignore, and for good reason. For over a decade, B2B tech marketers have been pouring easily 40% of their marketing budget on advertising on social media channels for very little proven ROI. Spraying the cash and praying that the godly leads will come through the funnel is no longer a...
Here’s one thing with marketing–you’re never ever really done. You completed one task, three others popped up. You’ve generated 100 opportunities, management now wants 200 more. You’ve released your paid campaigns, and now you have to optimize it. And again. And again. It’s a never ending cycle (but we’re all dopamine addicts,...
If there’s one thing that preoccupies Every. Single. Marketing agency owner right now, or at least that preoccupies us greatly, it’s this: what will the agency of the future look like? Will there even be a need?
It's a tale as old as time... B2B marketers have been trying to understand and measure the impact of their efforts for ages.

Lead generation costs have sky-rocketed ever since we started calculating PPC benchmarks for cybersecurity in 2019. In fact, the costly curve is the reason we started with the benchmarks. They became a sanity to check for ourselves… and our clients.
The most common "buyer persona" I have is the CISO. But I don't hang out with CISOs. Most marketers don't. We hang out with other marketers and complain about sales teams. Obviously 😉
Here’s an unpopular opinion you didn’t ask for: content is the lifeblood of any successful B2B PPC campaign. Without quality content, your campaigns fall flat, your audience disengages, and your conversion rates plummet. It’s a grim scenario that no marketer wants to face. And yet so many do…
It’s a huge task to compete against ~ 3,500 other companies on a daily basis–but that’s precisely what’s happening in the cybersec space.
