From building an internal creator team to launching multiple niche media pages, Chris shares the exact operating system ClickUp uses to generate millions of organic impressions every month. You’ll also learn: Why B2B brands should copy B2C trends before they’re “acceptable” How ClickUp runs its weekly content machine from ideation to publishing Why creator-led pages and employee-generated content are the future of B2B marketing If you’re trying to build a brand people actually talk about (not just ads people scroll past), this episode is for you.

Why does every brand suddenly look the same? Anthony Reeves, author of Eat the Donkey and former brand and creative leader at Amazon, Kohler, LVMH, and WPP, has a theory, and it starts with "optimization." If using the same AI tools and the same data as your competitors leads to the same results, how do you stand out? Anthony breaks down why friction might be the key. Plus, the one data point that makes or breaks a creative brief, how to tell productive friction from plain old bureaucracy, and the McLaren rebrand that has Daniel fired up. If you’re a Marketer who wants to build a brand that stands out instead of blending in, this episode is for YOU.

Amanda Natividad, VP of Marketing at SparkToro and the Marketer who coined "zero-click content," is back for round 2 to talk about taste.Everyone says great Marketing takes taste, or that taste is the moat against AI. Nobody explains where it comes from. Amanda and Daniel dig into how you build it, and how you prove a post is working when there's no click to track (and the platforms are burying your links anyway). Plus, why you should reverse engineer the comment you want before you hit post, and the hidden cost of publishing just to hit a quota. If you're a Marketer who wants to make content people love to share, this episode is for YOU. Breakthrough 2026 is the Agentic GTM Conference, happening November 2-5 at Fontainebleau Las Vegas.
