Update: 2025-09-10
Description
Episode 26 of Notorious B2B is a full crossover mashup with the We’re Not Marketers crew. With Tim off at Inbound, Tas ropes in Zach, Eric, and Gab for a live reaction pod to the week’s wildest B2B stories.
First up: Figma’s shares plunge 20% post-IPO as lofty valuations meet reality. The crew debates whether B2B’s obsession with inflated ROI claims is to blame. Then it’s on to LinkedIn axing Amplemarket, another $12M startup banned for automation and scraping, signaling the crackdown is far from over.
From there, sparks fly in product marketing land: Fletch PMM’s spicy take on strategic narratives triggers counterpoints (and Eric’s own wrecking-ball comment). And in Big Prompt Energy, we cover Salesforce’s weak AI returns, Atlassian’s $610M bet on AI browsers, and the FTC’s investigation into Meta’s disturbing AI child safety leaks.
What’s inside:
• Figma IPO hype crashes back to earth
• LinkedIn bans Amplemarket for automation & scraping
• Product marketers clash over strategic narratives vs. POVs
• Salesforce stock slides as AI fails to deliver
• FTC probes AI’s mental health risks for kids
• Atlassian drops $610M on an AI browser bet
