Logos, typography, colors and so much more. We bring TJ back on for Part 2 of our conversation on all things design.

Gates are for livestock.    That’s the take from our guest, Craig Coffey, Content Strategy and Marketing Manager at Eaton's residential division. With 20 years of experience at industrial giants like Parker Hannifin, Lincoln Electric, and Caterpillar, Craig joins the Industrial Marketing Collective to discuss the when, if, and how to gate content.    The conversation explores why  • Your "white paper" might be a brochure  • How to create content that builds a real audience willing to engage with you  • The challenge of getting sales alignment  • And why the best answer to the gating question is often a qualified "it depends"    Connect with Craig on LinkedIn

We’ll dig into what their team’s research has shown us about how buyers are researching and making purchasing decisions, and how these insights can help guide industrial marketers today.

Enter today’s guest: Chris Casey, founder and effectuator at CJC Works, an experiential marketing company based in Wisconsin, U.S.A.

Homepage Hero Horror! When people land on homepages to get acquainted with manufacturing companies, what are the mistakes these manufacturers make that weaken that initial impression? Nihal and Brendon talk about it.

However, too many companies try to turn these opportunities into a sales pitch and seriously undercut their effectiveness. So how do you do it right? That’s what we’ll tackle today.

How do you make content not just more compelling, interesting, and insightful, but also a delight to read? Rose Hansen, writer and Director of Accounts at Gorilla, is here to talk about it in this week's IMC Live.

Peyton and Nihal bring Mike Hill, General Manager at Big Rocks Engineering, back onto the podcast to talk about a question that arose during our last IMC: Live episode: What do you do when engineering is getting in the way of releasing marketing content? How can marketers and engineers work better together? Let's talk about it.
