  • Apollo 13: When the Mission Is Clear, the Impossible Becomes Possible | Eric Hanson (Mitel)

    Apollo 13: When the Mission Is Clear, the Impossible Becomes Possible | Eric Hanson (Mitel)
    2026/09/15
    Apollo 13 never made it to the moon. It also brought all of humanity together, set a record for the farthest distance from Earth, and produced some of the greatest problem-solving under pressure the world has ever seen.Eric Hanson, CMO at Mitel, joins us to dig into what B2B marketers can steal from the Apollo 13 playbook - and the 2024 documentary that reframed the story entirely. We cover why the clearest mission you can give your team is your most powerful tool, how to break down silos between marketing, sales, and product, why starting with the business need beats starting with the technology every time, and how going contrary to the mainstream is still the fastest path to getting your market's attention.About our guest, Eric HansonEric Hanson is CMO at Mitel, a communications platform helping organizations enable high-value and critical use cases across a hybrid and on-premises world. He is not a typical CMO: he started his career as an inside seller, moved into enterprise sales, co-founded a visual effects studio in San Francisco that worked on major motion pictures and global brand campaigns - including the design bible for Avatar's future interface - before finding his way into B2B marketing leadership. He has held senior roles at companies including DocuSign and brings a rare mix of creative, commercial, and strategic instincts to every team he leads.What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Apollo 13When the mission is clear, the impossible becomes possible. Eric's central argument is that the best B2B marketing isn't really about marketing at all - it's about creating the conditions where people come together around a common cause and do things nobody thought possible. He connects it directly to Apollo 13: "It brought all of humanity together, even for a brief moment. And so often with the way you think about what happens in the workplace, so much of it is about whether you can create that sense of a common cause, that common mission. Because the highest performing organizations, it's when you have that shared vision, that clarity of your mission, that people really come together and the impossible kind of becomes possible." His practical version of this is what he calls the triple threat: treating marketing, sales, and product not as separate functions with a waterfall handoff, but as a single coordinated strategy. When the foxhole includes everyone, you move faster, you adapt better, and you find things nobody would have found alone.Start with the business need, not the technology. Eric has a sharp way of describing the most common mistake in B2B selling: show up and throw up. Lead with the technology, the architecture, the speeds and feeds - and lose the room before you ever got it. His counterpoint is a story about a sales engineer calling on a CIO for an F1 team. The engineer launched straight into the tech, and the CIO cut him off: "If you can tell me how to make the car go faster, I'm all ears." Eric's version of this in practice is to start with the market dynamics, the specific pressures facing your ideal customer - whether it's a hospital struggling with patient flow or a multinational navigating digital sovereignty - and then work backwards to the technology. "The market can't always connect the dots on what the art of the possible is," he says. "That's our job." The faster horses problem is a marketing problem as much as it's a product problem.Tell an old story in a new, more human way. Ian's biggest takeaway from the Apollo 13 documentary is the audacity of director Peter Middleton, who looked at one of the most famous stories in American history - already immortalized in an acclaimed Tom Hanks film - and decided to tell it again. Differently. Without talking-head interviews, leaning entirely into archival footage, centering the human stakes over the mission mechanics. The result is a documentary that feels immediate rather than retrospective, and that lands differently than the movie despite telling the same events. Ian's takeaway for B2B marketers: "Every story that you think has been told can be retold in a different way." Eric adds the business version of this: the fastest path to getting your market's attention is to go contrary to the mainstream. For Mitel, that meant spending two years pushing the concept of digital sovereignty when everyone else was selling cloud. "I wouldn't say we planted it," Eric says. "But we anticipated it. And now the market is saying: yeah, you're right."Make it work with what you have - then adapt. The most memorable problem-solving moment in Apollo 13 isn't the drama of the oxygen tank explosion. It's the engineers in Houston dumping a pile of plastic bags, duct tape, and mismatched filters on a table and being told to build an air scrubber before the crew runs out of oxygen. No extra supplies. No time to order parts. Just: here's what you have, figure it out. Eric connects this directly to the George Lucas documentary series Light and Magic - where ...

  • Leave Them Wanting More: Marketing Lessons from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms | Tara Corey (Optimizely)

    Leave Them Wanting More: Marketing Lessons from A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms | Tara Corey (Optimizely)
    2026/09/01
    Three episodes in, you will be willing to die for Ser Duncan the Tall and Egg. No backstory required. No sprawling lore to decode. Just a knight who may not even be a knight, a boy who follows him anyway, and storytelling so elemental it hits like a gut punch. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms works because it does what most B2B content refuses to do: it puts the human at the center, leaves you wanting more, and trusts the oldest storytelling mechanics in the world. In this episode, we dig into what that means for marketers with our special guest Tara Corey, SVP of Marketing at Optimizely. Together, we unpack why the best content finds the friction point in a story rather than avoiding it, why you should be the biographer and not the subject, and what Optimizely's upcoming rebrand taught Tara about bravery and standing out from the B2B sea of sameness. About our guest, Tara Corey Tara Corey is SVP of Marketing at Optimizely, where she leads brand, content, and the company's upcoming rebrand. With over 20 years in marketing, she's known for building editorial-driven content strategies, championing authentic human storytelling, and running toward the hard moments — in her career and her content. She's a passionate believer in community, mentorship, and the idea that bravery isn't optional. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms: Put the human at the heart of the story — then leave them wanting more. A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms doesn't try to tell you everything at once. It earns your investment in two characters and then trusts that investment to carry you through. Tara connects this directly to how B2B content fails: "Creating content has never been easier than it is right now with AI. But creating quality content that truly has that art of storytelling and a truly human-connected story — I think that's harder and harder to stand out and do well." Fewer things, done better, is the whole strategy. Be the biographer, not the subject. Most origin stories are boring because the subject tells them. The interesting version requires someone who knows which parts actually matter. Ian's challenge for B2B marketers: "Volunteer to be the biographer. Don't let someone else tell their own story. Tell their story in a way that you think is interesting." That means getting in person, asking the follow-up questions people skip, and hunting for the moment of friction — the "no kidding, there I was" — where everything shifted. Find the elemental story hiding in your B2B content. Betrayal. Honor. Trust broken and rebuilt. These mechanics work because they've always worked. Ian ties them directly to the world every marketer lives in: "How many of us have been there when it's like, 'You said you were gonna promote me. You said you were gonna do this. Why did you never do it?' — that's so elemental. And yet we just don't put it in B2B marketing, even though it's all around us." The richest stories aren't in the product. They're in the people. Quote"Bravery isn't optional. There's fear, there's excitement — but we've got to be brave, try not to be afraid, and be excited about what's possible. And also try to balance that with the simplicity of a great story and that human connection." — Tara Corey Time Stamps [1:22] Meet Tara Corey, SVP of Marketing at Optimizely [1:40] Why A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms?

  • Why the Magic Is in the Details: Disneyland's Playbook for B2B Marketers | Kris Lande (OutSystems)

    Why the Magic Is in the Details: Disneyland's Playbook for B2B Marketers | Kris Lande (OutSystems)
    2026/08/12
    A two-hour wait in the summer heat. Overpriced churros. A parking lot that takes 45 minutes to escape. And yet - you remember every single ride, every firework, every detail. That's not an accident. That's Disneyland. Disney doesn't create magic through one big moment. They create it through thousands of tiny, intentional details working together. And in this episode, we dig into what that means for B2B marketers with our special guest Kris Lande, CMO at OutSystems. Together, we explore how to design end-to-end customer experiences that people actually remember, why the last impression is the lasting impression, and how to build community into your content strategy in a way no AI-generated campaign can replicate. About our guest, Kris Lande Kris Lande is Chief Marketing Officer of OutSystems, where she leads global marketing strategy and brand growth. With more than two decades of experience driving marketing for high-growth SaaS companies, Kris brings deep expertise in product marketing, category creation, and community-led growth. Before joining OutSystems, Kris spent over 13 years at Salesforce, where she led teams across product marketing, developer relations, and Trailhead. Earlier in her career, she led marketing at Escapia, a SaaS startup later acquired by Expedia. Kris holds a degree in Business Administration and International Business from Washington State University. About OutSystems OutSystems is the Agentic Systems Platform for companies who need to build governed AI apps and agents, fast. Global brands like Heineken and Bosch trust OutSystems every day to build everything from mission-critical life-saving apps to AI agents that can automate their oldest, clunkiest legacy processes. Essentially, OutSystems gives our customers comprehensive AI tools under one secure roof, turning IT into a fast-moving innovation engine. What B2B Marketers Can Learn From Disneyland: The last impression is the lasting impression. Disney doesn't just nail the opening - they engineer the ending. Kris applies this directly to her event strategy: at OutSystems ONE, their annual conference in Amsterdam, the closing session ended with a full spirit tunnel - staff lining the exit with music, dancing, and high fives. "I want them to walk away feeling gratitude and feeling celebrated and feeling energized as they walked out that door." In B2B, most experiences just... end. The brands that create magic are the ones that design the goodbye. Identify friction points - then design around them, not away from them. Disney doesn't eliminate the wait. They make the queue part of the experience. Kris takes the same approach to events: knowing that European attendees tend to arrive late, her team put a mobile DJ, a saxophone player, and stroopwafels outside the doors before the morning keynote. "We made it a party outside because we knew that was going to be a friction point." The lesson: don't pretend friction doesn't exist. Find it, name it, and design something remarkable around it. Everyone's in marketing - culture is how you deliver on the brand promise. Disney's magic doesn't live in one department. It lives in every cast member, every queue, every trash can placement. Kris ties this to a principle she carries into every team: "Brand is a promise to the customer, and culture is how you actually deliver on that promise." That culture comes through in the SDR call, the webinar, the email copy - everywhere. "I believe everyone's in marketing. As employees, we are representatives of the culture." Quote"When you care and you're passionate about the details, your customers are gonna feel that. They can feel when you care about something. They can feel when you brought fun into something. And if you care, they will care." - Kris Lande Time Stamps [1:35] Meet Kris Lande, CMO at OutSystems [2:08] Why Disneyland? A Non-Disney Adult Makes the Case [4:06] What Is Disneyland?
