After three decades in tech and a decade of running Envy’s own events, I’ve lost patience for panels where everyone agrees, breakfasts that could’ve been a newsletter, and keynote slots dedicated to yet another breathless meditation on artificial intelligence.
Sam's organization spends $60K on an analyst subscription. Three weeks to schedule a briefing, two more to receive the report. By the time it arrives, Sam has already shortlisted vendors, asked their network for feedback in Slack groups, and even booked a pilot. The Magic Quadrant, he never even got to open.
70% of the B2B buyer’s journey happens anonymously. This stat gets thrown around a lot because it looks cool and we marketers like numbers, but the reality behind it is really scary. Cause it basically means that most of your present & future customers will research your brand, chat with AI about it, stalk your site, and...
Every SDR out there starts their morning with at least four tabs open. There’s LinkedIn, HubSpot, Slack, and a spreadsheet they swear they’ll clean up tomorrow.

Lead scoring collapses the moment marketing experiments with a new channel. Sales continues to cherry pick leads to follow up with. Tech Stacks...
There is a quiet absurdity that underpins modern B2B marketing, and it’s the expectation that every dollar spent should return with a neatly labeled receipt.

A new client comes through the door, yay! It’s usually a fast-moving B2B tech company, say cybersecurity or fintech. After some polite intros, they hit us with the usual: “Our ads aren’t converting, our campaigns aren’t performing.” That’s the most common complaint we hear.
