• Asana. How the Work Graph Powers Its Agentic Bet 05.07.2026 12min

  This episode traces Asana's journey from a scrappy internal fix for Facebook's coordination chaos to a publicly traded platform betting its future on human-agent teamwork. At the center of the story is a single architectural decision, the Work Graph, that shaped everything from product-led growth to enterprise sales to Asana's current push into AI teammates. The core lesson: when product architecture and marketing evolve together, they can define not just a company, but an entire category.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• ClickUp. How a Contrarian Bet on Convergence Paid Off 04.07.2026 10min

  This episode traces ClickUp's rise from a bootstrapped house in Palo Alto to a $4 billion productivity platform, built on a bet that ran against the era's core startup wisdom: instead of doing one thing well, ClickUp tried to do everything, and turned that complexity into a growth engine. The core insight is that ClickUp never treated marketing, product, and sales as separate departments — it converged them into a single system, using product-led growth to harvest demand cheaply, brand audacity to create it, and disciplined attribution to keep scaling without burning cash.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Stack Overflow. How an Audience Came Before the Product 03.07.2026 13min

  This episode traces how Stack Overflow solved the hardest problem in platform economics — the cold start — not with a clever growth hack, but with years of earned trust. Before a single line of code was written, its founders had already built two of the most-read blogs in software. That audience became the seed community, the product architecture became an SEO engine, and the reputation system became a free quality-assurance workforce. The episode also examines the platform's current reckoning with AI, and what happens when the very traffic pattern a product was built to serve begins to disappear.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Databricks. How Naming a Category Became a Growth Engine 03.07.2026 10min

  This episode traces how Databricks went from a stalled open-source darling to a company valued in the hundreds of billions, not by out-engineering competitors, but by inventing a new category — the "data lakehouse" — and refusing to abandon that message even when the market pushed back. The core insight: in enterprise software, the companies that grow fastest aren't always the ones with the best technology, but the ones who give the market a new vocabulary for a problem it already feels.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Twilio. How Developer Trust Became Its Growth Engine 01.07.2026 13min

  This episode traces how Twilio turned a single frustrating problem — the impossible cost and complexity of connecting software to phones — into a communications empire built almost entirely on developer trust. Rather than chasing executives with sales pitches, Twilio invested in helpfulness, documentation, and technical empathy as its core marketing strategy, only later building the enterprise-grade trust needed to close boardroom deals. The core insight: a genuinely useful product, shown rather than sold, can turn thousands of individual developers into an unstoppable bottom-up sales force.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Synthesia. How Utility Beat Novelty in AI Video 30.06.2026 10min

  This episode unpacks how Synthesia, an AI video startup once famous for a celebrity-powered marketing stunt, walked away from the spotlight to build a $4 billion enterprise software business.

• Jasper. How Marketing Strategy Built an AI Unicorn From a Failed Startup 29.06.2026 13min

  This episode traces how three founders turned a stalled, half-laid-off startup into Jasper, an AI writing platform that reached a $1.5 billion valuation by treating marketing not as a function that promotes the product, but as the force that designs it. From a pre-launch webinar that sold a product before it existed, to a pivot from prosumer virality to enterprise trust after ChatGPT upended the market, Jasper's story is a case study in how understanding a customer's daily reality can matter more than owning the smartest model.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website:⁠ ⁠⁠https://khomichenko.com⁠Newsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/⁠ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: ⁠https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth⁠ Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG ⁠Connect with Volodymyr⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/⁠ ⁠https://x.com/V_Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://www.threads.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://amazon.com/author/khomichenko⁠⁠https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://medium.com/@Khomichenko⁠ ⁠https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko⁠DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• ElevenLabs. How a Voice Startup Engineered Its Own Virality 28.06.2026 14min

  This episode traces how ElevenLabs went from a shared childhood frustration with badly dubbed Polish films to an $11 billion company crossing $500 million in annual recurring revenue in roughly four years. The core insight: the technical breakthrough of natural-sounding AI voice was only half the story. The real engine of growth was a deliberately engineered marketing and product strategy — one that turned shareable demos, programmatic SEO, and a creator affiliate flywheel into a compounding distribution machine, while product decisions like a marketplace for voice actors converted a potential adversary into a partner.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website: https://khomichenko.comNewsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG⁠Connect with Volodymyrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/ https://x.com/V_Khomichenko https://www.threads.com/@khomichenkoDisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Descript. How the Backspace Key Replaced the Editing Timeline 27.06.2026 12min

  This episode traces how Descript turned a single, almost absurdly simple idea — editing audio and video by editing a transcript — into a $550 million company. It explores the structural gap in the creator economy that Descript identified, the discipline behind its expansion into a full creation suite, and the marketing playbook that turned a clever interface into a category-defining business. The core insight: building the tool is only half the job — the rest is packaging it so people instantly feel the relief it offers.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website: https://khomichenko.comNewsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG⁠Connect with Volodymyrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/ https://x.com/V_Khomichenko https://www.threads.com/@khomichenkoDisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Cursor. How Product-Led Growth Replaced the Marketing Budget 26.06.2026 12min

  This episode traces how Cursor, an AI-native code editor built by four MIT graduates, went from a failed mechanical-engineering experiment to one of the fastest-scaling software companies in history — reaching $100 million in annual recurring revenue in roughly twelve months and eventually a $60 billion acquisition by SpaceX — almost entirely without a conventional marketing budget. The central insight is that Cursor treated its product, its pricing, and its most demanding users as the entire distribution engine, proving that in the AI era, a tool sharp enough to change how elite professionals work can out-market companies with infinitely larger ad budgets.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website: https://khomichenko.comNewsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG⁠Connect with Volodymyrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/ https://x.com/V_Khomichenko https://www.threads.com/@khomichenkoDisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.

• Anthropic. How Restraint Became a Competitive Advantage 24.06.2026 10min

  This episode examines how Anthropic, founded by siblings Dario and Daniela Amodei after they left OpenAI over disagreements about the pace of AI development, turned caution itself into a growth strategy. While rivals chased consumer virality after the launch of ChatGPT, Anthropic built its product, Claude, around the unmet needs of a nervous enterprise market — and let safety, transparency, and design do the work that advertising usually does. The core insight: in a market starved for trust, the most disciplined company in the room can also become the fastest-growing one.About the podcastThe voice you hear in this podcast is AI-generated, but every idea, insight, analysis, and editorial decision comes from Volodymyr Khomichenko.Volodymyr Khomichenko is a Tech B2B Marketing Strategist and Senior Marketing Director at Zoolatech with 12+ years of marketing experience, including 8+ years leading marketing teams in B2B technology companies.🌐 Website: https://khomichenko.comNewsletters📩 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (LinkedIn)Deep dives into growth, marketing leadership, AI, and the systems behind successful companies.→ Subscribe: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/marketing-behind-rapid-growth-7472018686078472192/ 📬 The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth (Substack)Exclusive articles, case studies, frameworks, and behind-the-scenes insights on marketing, business growth, leadership, and AI.→ Subscribe for free: https://substack.com/@rapidgrowth Book - The Marketing Behind Rapid Growth⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0H6VHNRMG⁠Connect with Volodymyrhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkh/ https://x.com/V_Khomichenko https://www.threads.com/@khomichenkohttps://amazon.com/author/khomichenko https://www.producthunt.com/@khomichenko https://medium.com/@Khomichenko https://hackernoon.com/u/khomichenko DisclaimerThis podcast is based on publicly available information, industry research, company statements, and independent analysis.
