i’m back: i’m joining Truescope as VP marketing.

a few people have asked me why now. honestly, i had a checklist and it ticked every box.

𝟭/ 𝗯𝟮𝗯 𝘀𝗮𝗮𝘀: it's where i do my best work. i dont know how b2c marketers do it, im gonna stick to my zone of genius 😅, aka, tl;dr. traffic > leads > demos > revenue.

𝟮/ 𝗮𝘂𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗲 𝗛𝗤'𝗱: this matters to me. same timezone as leadership means faster decisions. direct access to the founders means i can actually influence strategy, not just execute someone else's plan from a deck created at an overseas HQ.

𝟯/ 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗴𝗼𝗹𝗱𝗶𝗹𝗼𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝘇𝗼𝗻𝗲: not so big that i’m a cog in the wheel. but not so small that the entire go-to-market lives in the founders’ head. ive joined a company where i believe good great marketing can genuinely move the needle.

𝟰/ 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀: first-time founders are learning as they go. kudos to them, but i wanted operators who've done this before. it means less time educating up, more time executing (and having fun)

oh, and it's my first time in martech. if you're a marketer, pr pro, or comms leader and you have thoughts on great marketing, i’d love to chat and take notes on how to execute well.

2026: LFG 🎉.

one newsletter tactic most b2b marketers haven't tried yet 👀

add a short jobs section at the bottom of your newsletters.

not your own jobs. jobs from other companies in your space, specifically the ones hiring your exact ICP.

Ashby does this well. their newsletter includes open roles from their own customers, all in the people ops and recruiting space. simple to execute, genuinely useful to readers.. why?

𝟭/ 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗮𝘂𝗱𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁𝘀 𝘆𝗼𝘂 (𝗺𝗮𝘆𝗯𝗲 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝗮 𝗷𝗼𝗯 𝗯𝗼𝗮𝗿𝗱) 
your subscribers opted in because you're relevant to their world. a perfectly matched job listing signals you get them. trust compounds over time.

𝟮/ 𝗶𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝗹𝗼𝘆𝗮𝗹𝘁𝘆 𝗯𝗲𝘆𝗼𝗻𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 
you helped someone land their next role. the brand association that follows is real. they'll remember you, recommend you, and bring you into their next company.

𝟯/ 𝗶𝘁 𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝘀 𝗮 𝗱𝗶𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗿𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗮𝗰𝗾𝘂𝗶𝘀𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗽 
they move to a new employer → subscribe again → pitch your product to their new team. your newsletter starts travelling with your ICP.

the best part? it costs almost nothing to get started. spend 5 minutes on linkedin searching for open roles that match your ICP. if you've done your ICP work properly, you already know exactly who you're looking for. 

or do one better, reach out to a handful of customers hiring in your space and offer them a free listing.

you might even get an early look at roles before they go public.

any other newsletters doing this?

i went to an NJA Meetup event last night to support a friend (well done Pam Stevenson!) and i left with a lot of notes on community building.

i'm not in hr or recruiting... i defs don't fit the core audience.

but i left with a solid blueprint for how to run a great community event. here's what they nailed:

𝟭/ 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁: the room was buzzing. people were sharing, helping each other, swapping ideas. (someone put their hand up to say they got a job from a connection they made at the last event!!!). good things happens when you curate the right people and create the conditions for real talk.

𝟮/ 𝘀𝗽𝗲𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗮𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗮𝗹 𝗲𝘅𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗵𝗲𝗱 𝗸𝗲𝘆𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀: speakers who had been in the trenches and had the stories to prove it (thanks for sharing Jeremy Cabral Gillian Findlay David Ky Patrick Lynch ). that's the difference between "interesting" and "i'm writing this down right now." also helps that there was some spicy takes as well 🌶️ 

𝟯/ 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗱𝗲𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘀 𝗺𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸: curated attendee list. light-filled + spacious venue. good food. solid agenda. these all signal respect for your attendees' time. and when people feel valued, they show up differently.

big ups to the team (Pam Stevenson Emer McCann Anthony Enright). seriously well done 👏, im stealing some of your ideas for Generate - The B2B Marketing Community in ANZ ;)
