What makes a product launch actually land? And why do so many fall flat? Daniel’s OUT, Tamara’s IN. She sits down with marketing leader Julien Savauge to unpack the difference between a launch and a go-to-market strategy, why most teams treat “launch day” as the end when it should be the beginning, and how great marketers use story to shift perception. So what matters more: release dates or momentum? Julien shares lessons from his time at Salesforce, Gong, and beyond, reveals why pre-launch momentum matters more than release dates, how to avoid internal misalignment, and why launches fail when they’re built from the inside out. If you’ve ever wrestled with a launch that didn’t hit its mark, struggled to get cross-functional buy-in, or wondered how to make your messaging actually resonate, this is the episode for you.  Follow Julien: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/julien-sauvage/ Follow Tamara: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tamaragrominsky/ Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Think you’re sending too many emails? Spoiler alert: you’re probably not sending enough.  Daniel and Jay bust the email amount myth. They dig into why frequency and relevancy go hand in hand, why “unsubscribes” can actually be a good thing, and how send timing is wildly overrated. More emails = more engagement (when the content doesn’t suck).  And, do subject lines and emojis actually matter? They do, and testing them is a way to figure out what actually moves the needle.  If you're a Marketer who wants to lock in on email strategy, this is the episode for you. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.

Want to grow faster on LinkedIn without burning out on daily posts? It’s all in the comments section.  Daniel and Jay share how a comment-first strategy helped The Marketing Millennials gain thousands of new followers in a single year, outpacing traditional posting.  Daniel reveals how LinkedIn’s new comment impressions feature signals a shift: comments can now generate as much or more reach than traditional posts. Comments can act like “mini-posts” inside someone else’s thread. Plus, how do you take advantage of adding images to your comments? Comments that have memes or quick insights perform better than text-only. They also give you a chance to test ideas in comments before committing to a full company post. If you're a Marketer looking to up your LinkedIn engagement, this is the episode for you. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennialsDaniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.
