Global B2B Marketing Podcast with Scott Owen Kuberski

Managing paid media in B2B is often treated as a question of optimization, even though it operates within long sales cycles and limited data signals. When allocation follows every short-term fluctuation, marketing spend can become volatile, making it difficult to establish a stable baseline for efficiency.In this episode, Scott Owen Kuberski explores the distinction between technical optimization and the management of capital across market cycles. He discusses how reacting to temporary spikes and dips can destabilize Customer Acquisition Cost, and why a portfolio approach, grounded in longer evaluation windows and allocation ranges, can create steadier pipeline performance over time.
