概要

 B2B marketing is stuck in a loop of diminishing returns, with companies continuing to blast tired email lists and buy contacts, ignoring the massive shift toward human-led growth. The "safe" bet of traditional outbound is actually the riskiest play in 2026 because buyers have tuned out the noise. Real scale now comes from borrowing the trust that creators have already earned.ㅤHost David Walsh sits down with Justin Levy to dismantle the myth that influencer marketing is just for brand awareness. They discuss how a properly architected creator program can outperform entire marketing departments in driving a qualified pipeline. Justin shares the exact playbook he used to scale ZoomInfo's influencer program from a pilot to a multi-million dollar revenue engine.ㅤHe breaks down the math behind replacing expensive ad spend with trusted voices and why "safe" metrics like impressions are useless without revenue attribution. Justin also details his "calculated risk" approach to budgeting: how he secured funding by guaranteeing registration numbers that traditional channels couldn't match.ㅤGuest BioJustin Levy is a veteran B2B marketing executive with over 20 years of experience leading social and influencer programs. He most recently served as the Director of Social Media & Influencer Marketing at ZoomInfo, where he built their creator program from the ground up to drive millions in pipeline. Previously, he held leadership roles at Demandbase, ServiceNow, and Citrix. Justin is also the author of Facebook Marketing and a sought-after speaker on the intersection of community and revenue.ㅤWhat We CoverThe failure of traditional B2B: Why companies revert to spamming email lists despite data showing the creator economy is exploding and outbound efficiency is plummeting.Front-loading budget: How Justin secured budget for a major virtual event by guaranteeing and delivering 50% of the registration goal using only a handful of creators.Revenue over reach: The importance of tracking full-funnel metrics like pipeline and ACV rather than vanity metrics like likes or impressions to prove value to the C-suite.The efficiency of creators: How a small group of 18-20 influencers generated 30% of all event leads, outperforming massive traditional marketing efforts.Niche vs. Macro: Why creators with 4,500 followers often deliver better ROI and engagement than those with 450,000 followers who have suffered from audience drift.Testing frameworks: Why 30-day "pay per post" tests fail and why a 3-month partnership minimum is necessary to get valid data and build a relationship.Qualitative metrics: Evaluating creators based on responsiveness, adherence to briefs, and "ease of work" rather than just the quantitative numbers.Diversifying platforms: Moving beyond LinkedIn to include YouTube, Newsletters, and TikTok to reach audiences where they actually consume content.Attribution modeling: Using tools to track engagement from executive and influencer posts all the way to closed-won revenue to justify budget increases.Segmenting for value: How ZoomInfo didn't just look at lead volume but analyzed how many influencer-generated leads were "upmarket" enterprise accounts.ㅤResources MentionedZoomInfo - The go-to-market platform where Justin built and scaled his revenue-first influencer program.Limelight - The B2B influencer marketplace and tracking platform used by ZoomInfo to attribute creator content to revenue.Goldman Sachs Creator Economy Report - Referenced statistics on the rapid acceleration and value of the creator economy.ㅤSafe Doesn't Scale is hosted by David Walsh, founder of Limelight.
