Hey, happy Thursday!

🔥 This Week's Hottest Marketing Trend: Vibe-Coding Your GTM Team+ Hiring Like Lovable
Forget resumes—start hiring for resonance. “Vibe-coding” is emerging as a powerful way to assess GTM candidates beyond hard skills. Instead of obsessing over LinkedIn endorsements, forward-thinking startups are vetting for energy, adaptability, and creative problem-solving.
Lovable’s story is a perfect case study. With a small team and a mission-driven product, they outpaced growth expectations by hiring aligned operators, not just seasoned veterans. Their signal? Enthusiasm, chemistry, and a bias toward action.

Host "Behind-the-Build" Sessions - Founders and PMs walk through early product decisions live. These raw sessions humanize your brand and drive bottom-funnel trust.

2025 B2B Budgeting Guide: What to Prioritize Now
In an era of scrutiny, Forrester’s planning guide is a roadmap for smart resource allocation. Spoiler: content isn’t getting cut—but inefficient content ops are.
TL;DR:
✅ Revenue impact rules all. Budget allocations are shifting toward programs that directly influence pipeline and deal velocity.
✅ Content is still a priority, but inefficient content operations and vanity metrics are being cut. Marketers must prove ROI.
✅ Buying group marketing is in. Teams are aligning budgets to target accounts and buying committees—not just leads.
✅ Tech consolidation is accelerating. Fewer tools, better integration, and a focus on AI-driven productivity.
✅ Biggest increases: customer marketing, lifecycle enablement, and revenue ops.
