The Affiliate Marketing Playbook with Cricket Treanor, Digital Marketing and Ecommerce at Patagonia | Ep. 420 29.05.2026 35min

Patagonia isn’t just scaling mountains. They’re scaling through affiliate strategy. This episode’s guest, Cricket Treanor, went from the sales floor to HQ’s Affiliate Marketing and Ecom team. When it comes to partnerships, they’re thinking outside the box: cash back with Rakuten, listicles of the “best jackets”, and speaking out about social issues, to name a few. What should you do as a brand when you don’t lean heavily into loyalty and deals? And, Cricket debunks some misconceptions about the affiliate space. It’s more than just loyalty, it’s actually about brand awareness. Affiliates aren’t taking sales away from other channels. Where do they fit into the marketing funnel? Plus, Patagonia is more than just selling products, they’re aiming to bring environmental awareness and sustainability efforts to their audience. How does the buy-back program contribute to Marketing strategy? In a world of overconsumption, how do you get customers excited about new products when overconsumption contradicts the brand mission?

How To Redefine Your Brand With Tory Pachis, CMO of Amica Insurance | Ep. 419 27.05.2026 43min

Most insurance brands look the same, sound the same, and spend billions on ads to prove it. Amica decided to do the opposite. Daniel sits down with Tory Pachis (Executive Vice President & CMO of Amica Insurance) to break down how a 119-year-old, referral-only mutual insurer went from 2% unaided brand awareness to 70%…and why a jersey patch on the Boston Celtics was just the beginning. Tory shares how Amica built a sports marketing strategy around values alignment, not logo slaps, and why the Jason Tatum "Back to Zero" campaign became one of the most authentic brand stories in insurance. They get into why humor isn't the only tool in the insurance advertising toolbox, how to make the case for brand investment to a skeptical CFO, and what happens when your star athlete tears his Achilles the night after you sign the deal. They also dig into how Amica is thinking about AI and LLMs, and why a loyal customer base full of organic Reddit and Trustpilot reviews might be their biggest unfair advantage as search evolves.

The Truth About Your ICP with Hailey McDonald, VP of Revenue Marketing at Sprout Social | Ep. 417 20.05.2026 49min

Does everyone on your revenue team actually agree on who your ideal customer is? Daniel sits down with Hailey McDonald, the new VP of Revenue Marketing at Sprout Social, on day one of her new role. They get into one of the most expensive mistakes in B2B Marketing: building campaigns before your ICP is truly locked in across every team. Hailey breaks down why most companies are doing ABM in name only, how to tell within five minutes that a team's ICP is broken, and why getting Marketing, sales, CS, and rev ops aligned on a single definition is the foundation everything else is built on. She also explains the difference between ICP and total addressable market, and how pipeline hitting while revenue misses is one of the clearest signals something is off with your targeting. Daniel makes the case that personalization at scale is really just personality at scale, and why the brands that stay consistent with their messaging even under pressure are the ones that win long term. Plus, Hailey's marketing hill she would die on: you can't have demand without brand. If you’re looking to actually understand and identify who your audience is, this episode is for you.

The platforms just told you exactly what they care about…are you paying attention?
