Ep. 67 - Unleashing B2B creativity to punch above your weight with ClickUp's Chief Creative Officer, Melissa Rosenthal
You’ve probably heard the criticisms of B2B marketing—it’s boring and lacks creativity.
And besides, it’s way too expensive to produce ads like B2C companies.
In this episode, Melissa Rosenthal, Chief Creative Officer at ClickUp shares her approach to creating remarkable content without breaking the bank.
Coming from B2C powerhouses like Buzzfeed and Cheddar, Rosenthal immediately saw the blue-ocean opportunity in B2B to differentiate. So, she built an in-house creative agency at ClickUp by investing in the right people and equipment to produce Madison Avenue quality content at a fraction of the cost.
As a result, they’ve taken on the gorillas in its crowded space, growing from 60 to over 1000 employees in under three years.
Key takeaways from this episode:
- The portfolio approach to creative that enables ClickUp to create hundreds of pieces of content cost-effectively instead of betting the farm on a singular campaign.
- Why you should treat your entire content strategy as an evergreen campaign
- Why securing leadership buy-in from the beginning is crucial in fostering a culture of creativity.
