Neil and Eric break down the real cost of content teams, why agency work often disappoints, and how nearshore talent, data-driven charts, and intimate in-person events can drive far more B2B pipeline than vanity views. They walk through their content economics, research workflow, and event strategy for landing enterprise SEO.

Key takeaways:

Build lean B2B content teams that prioritize revenue, not just reach.

Use data-driven charts and research workflows to attract high-LTV enterprise clients.

Host intimate in-person events to unlock RFPs and multi-million dollar deals.
