To get an honest assessment of how C-level execs feel about their GTM strategies, you’d have to find a way to meet them all and then sign a ton of confidentiality agreements. Fortunately, Mark Stouse, the CEO of Proof Analytics, just came out and told us.

In the latest episode of our Conversations with MarTech series, Mark shares what Fortune 2000 leaders told him about their GTM strategies. And he predicts big changes, including an influx of B2C marketing leaders into B2B.

After you digest the conversation with Mark, please take a few minutes to complete our 2025 State of Your Stack Survey. Scott Brinker and I will review the results in the opening keynote of the MarTech Conference in March, so we need to put a lid on it soon.

What they're saying

  • “B2B marketers believe that nothing else that’s out there applies to them. That they’re their own thing. And there’s just so much wrong with that perspective, it’s not even funny.” – Mark Stouse in What do C-level execs think of their GTM strategies?
  • “Thought leadership content is something AI cannot produce well. But it’s what will set your company apart and earn the memory structures required to come to mind when a trigger event happens.” – Ardath Albee in Balancing the human-to-AI mix in B2B marketing.
