Episode Synopsis


CMO at lemlist, Domitille de Saint-Exupéry, joined Erik Jacobson to unpack their content strategy that helped grow the company to $40M+ ARR by focusing on building trust and preference with future buyers (and without relying primarily on traditional, SEO-first blog content). Domi shares how Lemlist thinks about the 95/5 content approach, why founder-led and employee-led content became their strongest channel, and how they decide where to invest when content ROI is hard to measure. This is a tactical, honest look at what content looks like when brand, demand, and trust all work together.Key topics covered:[00:00] Intro[03:53] Build in Public Philosophy[05:32] Seven Demand Gen Channels[08:37] Leveraging External Expertise for Content[11:47] Hiring Subject Matter Expert Creators[16:31] Marketing Role Positioning Strategy[21:13] Market Maturity and Budget Framework[26:42] Audience Research and Platform Selection[29:21] Avengers Employee Advocacy Strategy[34:57] Incentivizing Employee Content Creation[38:59] Content Attribution and Measurement[44:57] TikTok Strategy for B2B[48:30] Brand Standpoint Development[51:45] Platform Evolution and Opportunities–– This episode is brought to you by Hatch.Hatch helps B2B companies build efficient content engines through video podcasts, short-form video, and YouTube.
