Keynotes and boardrooms

The new demand game.

The old game was volume: more leads, more touches, more noise. Buyers stopped playing it. The new game is trust, and clear consistent and readily available information. Talks for leadership teams, sales kick offs, investor days and industry stages.

The talks

Three formats, one argument.

Every session is built to leave the audience with something they can act on in the week after, not just a memory of a good hour.

Keynote

The new demand game

Why volume stopped working, what buyers now reward, and the five places a revenue engine leaks trust without anyone noticing. For leadership audiences, sales kick offs and investor events.

30 to 45 minutes · Q&A optional

Workshop

Map the buyer journey

A working session in which a leadership team maps its own buyer journey end to end, finds the two places value is leaking between teams, and leaves with a named owner for each.

Half day · up to 20 participants

Boardroom

What the leak costs

For boards and investors. How to read a marketing function from the outside, what the common failure patterns mean for a portfolio company, and which move to fund first. Direct, numerical, no slides that cannot be defended.

90 minutes · board or portfolio review

Audiences have included leadership teams in cyber security, governance and legal technology, PE portfolio reviews, and industry conferences across the UK, Europe and North America. [Craig to add two or three named events.]
