Welcome to Marketing From the Front Lines, where we have unfiltered conversations with the B2B marketers who are bringing innovative technology to market. In today’s episode, we’re speaking with Magali Chapuis, Marketing Manager of Embat, a fintech company providing treasury management solutions that streamline cash flow visibility and financial processes.

Here are the most interesting points from our conversation:

  • Human-Centric Approach: Magali emphasizes the importance of building close relationships with clients, gathering feedback to tailor products and marketing strategies to their needs.
  • Effective Events: Offline events such as networking lunches and collaborative events with complementary tech companies have proven highly effective for Embat in building relationships and generating leads.
  • Challenging Paid Ads: Magali advises against heavy initial investments in paid ads, suggesting that building brand awareness and educating the audience through content and events is more effective in the early stages.
  • International Expansion: One of the major challenges Embat faces is maintaining brand consistency while expanding into new international markets, necessitating localized content and strong regional teams.
  • Sales-Marketing Collaboration: Ensuring seamless communication and collaboration between the sales and marketing teams is crucial for event success and overall marketing strategy effectiveness.
  • Networking: Building a network with other marketers in similar industries is essential for identifying key events, opportunities, and best practices.
