E28: Why Most Marketing Metrics Don’t Drive Business Results with Marc Binkley

In this episode of Content Kingdom, host David G. Ewing sits down with Marc Binkley, President of the Calgary Marketing Association, to challenge one of the biggest assumptions in modern marketing: that more data leads to better decisions. Marc breaks down why marketers are overly focused on dashboards, engagement metrics, and attribution models that look impressive but often fail to connect to real business outcomes. Instead, he introduces a more grounded, evidence-based approach to marketing, one that prioritizes cash flow, customer behavior, and long-term demand over short-term vanity metrics. The conversation dives into the concept of strong vs. weak forces in marketing, explaining why factors like the economy, seasonality, and product availability matter far more than most marketers want to admit. Marc also shares a powerful personal example of replacing cold outreach with content-driven inbound and achieving the same revenue with stronger relationships and higher-quality deals.

In this episode of Content Kingdom, host David G. Ewing sits down with Kosta Hantzis, CMO of Nutré Meals, to unpack a bold claim: the traditional CMO role is dead and AI is rewriting the rules.

From autonomous dashboards and real-time ad optimization to building landing pages and entire systems with AI, this conversation dives deep into what modern marketing actually looks like in 2026. But it’s not just about tools. Kosta explains why taste, speed, and execution now matter more than deep expertise, how marketers can get started with AI today, and why those who don’t adapt risk being left behind not by AI itself, but by people who know how to use it.

Drawing on her background in cultural anthropology and extensive experience working with research-driven organizations, Priscilla challenges the common reliance on intuition in marketing and emphasizes the importance of structured, data-informed decision-making. The conversation introduces a practical framework built around strategy, organization, accountability, and repeatability (SOAR), designed to eliminate random acts of marketing and replace them with systems that drive consistent results.

E25: Building Community-Led Growth in Modern B2B Marketing

In this episode of Content Kingdom, David G. Ewing sits down with Kathleen Booth, VP of Marketing at Sequel.io, to explore how community-driven strategies are reshaping modern B2B marketing. The conversation centers on a critical distinction: the difference between an audience and a community. While audiences receive content, communities actively engage with each other, creating deeper relationships, stronger brand affinity, and long-term value. The episode also dives into practical strategies for building a community from the ground up, starting with a trusted core network, fostering early engagement, and identifying “evangelists” who take ownership and help the community grow organically. Kathleen emphasizes that community is not defined by a platform, but by relationships and shared identity. For marketers looking to stand out in a crowded landscape, this approach offers a powerful path to building trust, generating insight, and creating sustainable competitive advantage.
