Jad and welcome to the finite podcast.
1:26
My pleasure to be here, Alex. Thanks.
1:28
I'm looking forward to talking. We are gonna
1:30
be diving into, I guess, hearing all about your
1:33
experience and everything you're up to
1:36
in your CMO role at the moment, and talking a bit
1:38
about educating the market. But before we
1:40
do that, I'll let you introduce yourself.
1:42
Tell a bit about your , your experience
1:44
and background and , uh , and your current role.
1:46
Sure. Been an interesting journey for me.
1:49
I've , uh, kind of had two, two
1:51
phases to my career. The first was on
1:54
the corporate side where I spent a long time
1:56
at Sony, mostly on the music side,
1:59
over 11 years , uh, in a variety
2:01
of roles for Columbia
2:03
records, I ran help run the jazz department for
2:05
a little while I was , um, in
2:07
product management, overseeing a
2:10
roster of artists. And then I
2:12
, um, kind of split
2:14
away a little bit and , and , uh, wrote
2:16
a business plan to organize
2:18
kind of a, a , a , a synergistic
2:21
or cross platform group that
2:24
leverage all of the Sony business units,
2:26
PlayStation games, music,
2:29
electronics, et cetera , all under one
2:31
roof, and sort of promote that or
2:33
sell that as a package to corporate
2:35
America did a bunch of deals. There
2:38
ended up doing one with the NFL, which
2:40
then led me to being recruited
2:42
to help run integrated marketing at the NFL,
2:45
which I did for a number of years, which
2:47
was , um , which was a lot of fun. Enjoyed
2:49
it. Then I went on my own,
2:52
kind of started my entrepreneurial career,
2:54
started a couple of companies, one called
2:57
MIMO, where I built , um , which
2:59
is kind of funny because you know, the
3:01
meta or the metaverse has been one of
3:04
the hottest topics now. And what
3:06
most people don't realize is that it's not new,
3:09
you know, avatars and virtual goods
3:11
were around 10,
3:13
12, 15 years ago when we were doing stuff
3:15
with companies like , uh , second life
3:18
and hot , a hotel and different
3:20
virtual worlds that were very popular in those
3:22
days, popular, like to the point where
3:24
10, 15 million people would come in on
3:27
a daily basis. So it was, it was a
3:29
big deal. So we built a
3:31
company around virtual goods for
3:33
the, you know, for these , uh, for these virtual
3:35
worlds. So that was exciting. Uh
3:37
, ended up selling that company 2014
3:40
, did some consulting after that, and
3:42
then joined Phoenix in 2016 where
3:45
I am currently the C uh , chief
3:47
chief marketing officer, where I oversee all of
3:50
our marketing related functions,
3:52
PR social, but I also
3:54
oversee business development because I've
3:56
been doing this for a while and
3:58
have a lot of con in the space. Um
4:00
, you know, I try and help bring in
4:03
some new business opportunities to the company.
4:05
And , um, you know, we're on
4:07
an exciting point , um, which I'm sure
4:09
we'll get into, but I'll sort of leave, leave
4:12
that for next
4:14
<laugh> . Yeah. Sounds good. Well , that's a good, a
4:16
good introduction. Maybe just tell us a little bit about Phoenix
4:18
and, and what you do just to set this scene .
4:21
Sure . So Phoenix is a, is
4:23
a technology company that has
4:25
built a platform that , uh, that
4:27
has solved a number of the streaming
4:29
issues that have been plaguing the industry for
4:31
some time. What makes us interesting
4:34
and unique? Isn't just
4:37
that we stream in what we consider real
4:39
time , we , which is half a
4:41
second from when we get the signal to
4:44
when a fan sees it on their phone
4:46
or device. So it's sort of from the field to
4:48
play to their devices a half a
4:50
second. And it's not just that we can
4:53
scale that to millions of people, and it's not
4:55
just that we can synchronize across all devices.
4:58
So everybody's watching at the same time, it's
5:00
that we do those, and that's
5:02
what makes you know, what our technology
5:04
, uh , what we've built so
5:06
unique because there, although there are very
5:09
few companies that are able to stream
5:11
in real time , nobody's really been
5:13
able to solve the, especially
5:15
the scaling issue. It's, it's
5:18
one thing to deliver to a handful
5:20
of users. It's another, the thing to deliver
5:22
to a hundred, 200, 500,000
5:24
users at the same time without
5:27
losing latency. So that's
5:29
something that we've been able to prove and , uh,
5:31
makes this kind of special.
5:33
Very cool. This is a completely random question, not
5:35
related to you with marketing, but I always was of the impression
5:38
that there had to be some kind of pause or delay
5:40
in streams so that if the
5:42
producer needed to hit the big red button to
5:44
stop something from reaching end users, they
5:47
had a bit of a chance to, you know, someone said a word
5:49
they weren't meant to say, or something like that, half
5:51
a seconds , a short gap.
5:53
So what you're talking about is what
5:55
happens on the broadcast. So
5:58
what happens is, you know, the , you
6:00
know, a , a, the cameras on the field,
6:03
take the pictures and you see it on your television
6:06
about anywhere, depending on
6:08
whether your cable satellite or over
6:10
the air , anywhere from about, you
6:13
know, 5, 6, 7 seconds to
6:15
maybe 15 or, and
6:18
that has the built in delay
6:20
for language wardrobe,
6:23
you know, malfunctions, like we saw in the super bowl
6:25
a number of years ago, but when you're on the digital
6:28
side, when you're streaming, you don't
6:30
have that mandatory delay. You don't
6:32
have to hold back the , the stream at all. So,
6:35
so the idea is to stream it as close to
6:37
the field of play . So as though you're in
6:39
the stadium, watching it without
6:42
any delay at all.
6:43
Interesting, very cool. Well, that leads us nicely
6:45
into, I guess, the topic and, you know , this sounds
6:47
like a , a new and cutting edge technology,
6:50
and you've obviously sounds like you've, you've managed to crack
6:52
something that's not been done before, or
6:54
what people have struggled to do as you say at scale. And
6:56
so you with that comes a degree of
6:59
having to really educate your audience
7:01
and market about, you know , how you, how
7:03
you're different, how you stand out , what you've done. Maybe
7:05
it's always nice to start with a bit of a , a scene setter
7:08
. And when we're talking about educating the market, like
7:10
, what are we, what are we really referring to from your perspective?
7:13
Well, for us, it's, it's a good point. I
7:15
mean, for us, you know, the biggest challenge
7:17
that we have or had,
7:19
and to , to some extent still have not as
7:22
much is when
7:24
we were talking about our technology,
7:27
we never really refer to it as
7:29
live, because live
7:32
is what you see with delay. That's
7:34
what has been defined as you
7:37
know, when you watch to your point of on broadcast when
7:39
there's a broadcast delay or some of the other streaming
7:42
platforms that have delays,
7:44
they're streaming it, quote unquote in
7:47
live . But the problem was the
7:50
terms live and real time were
7:52
being used interchangeably and
7:54
in our mind incorrectly. So
7:57
the first thing that we felt we needed
7:59
to do was educate not
8:02
only the market, but also the media to
8:05
the fact that live and real time
8:07
are not the same. And so those
8:10
are sort of taglines that we
8:12
connect. We came up with with
8:14
our PR firm diffusion,
8:17
that we would go out to the,
8:19
a market and stress,
8:22
the difference between live and
8:24
real time , because we wanted to kind
8:26
of own the lane of
8:28
real time streaming or real time streaming
8:30
technology, and not necessarily
8:33
be sort of lumped into what
8:36
with everybody else that is in
8:38
the kind of live cat . So
8:41
that was a really important aspect
8:44
of the beginning of how we started
8:46
to look at promotion marketing,
8:49
public relations, you know, from
8:51
that perspective.
8:52
And do you think this kind of educational approach
8:55
is more common when brands
8:58
businesses in the B2B tech space are kind
9:01
of almost defining a new category or,
9:04
or where , you know, you gave that example of live
9:06
and real time kind of being used in a, an
9:09
unclear way, an undefined way, to some extent, do
9:11
you think this is more common where, you know , category definition
9:14
is , is kind of a go , would you say you're kind
9:16
of defining a , defining a category in , in
9:18
terms of real time or absolutely.
9:20
A hundred percent ? Yeah , absolutely. Because
9:22
I mean, one could argue that
9:25
what we do isn't necessary
9:27
or, or a necessity for
9:30
every use case. So, you
9:32
know, real time streaming is still
9:34
a, a bit of a niche to some extent,
9:37
although I believe it's not going to
9:39
be, I believe it's, we're headed towards
9:42
a, a win , not an
9:44
if for everybody to join and
9:47
have their streams delivered in real time , but
9:49
at least for now, we're still in a little
9:51
bit of a niche market. So yes, I do think
9:53
that whether you're a startup in
9:55
a new category, or if
9:58
you're a more established company that's
10:00
establishing a new division or a new product
10:02
set, or even a new brand, you
10:05
know, for a larger company, there is
10:07
a certain amount of education that is
10:09
needed to get consumers,
10:12
fans, whatever your , you know, whoever your businesses,
10:16
your marketing to , or selling to, to
10:18
better understand what you're doing, how
10:20
you're doing it and why you're different
10:23
from whoever it is that you're trying to
10:25
separate yourself from.
10:26
You mentioned some of your kind of key personas that I
10:28
wondered to do analysts come up at all. Like the , the kind of,
10:31
almost like the, the gardeners and the, I
10:33
dunno whether there's anyone specifically in your industry,
10:35
but you know , is, is educating those.
10:37
And cause those are the often the , the kind
10:39
of the people that are using terminologies incorrectly
10:42
or defining the categories or putting,
10:44
putting companies in certain boxes .
10:46
You're right . I mean, the , how we measure streaming
10:49
is somewhat new. I think companies
10:51
like Nielsen have added
10:53
a streaming measurement component to
10:56
their pro set . I
10:58
still think it's hard to define and
11:01
how many people are streaming and how many are
11:03
streaming together is still, it's
11:06
a tough one, you know, for them, but for
11:08
us, it wasn't as much those
11:10
companies as the
11:13
media who is kind of talking
11:16
about, you know, what does live
11:18
and how does, you know, when they're streaming live? I
11:20
mean, even companies, I mean, I'm not don't
11:23
mean to call 'em out, but a company like ESPN
11:25
when you watch them on, you know, when
11:27
you watch a , a game on the new television
11:30
and they're promoting another game, that's
11:32
coming up and they'll say, you know, watch
11:34
it on ESPN or live on the ESPN
11:37
app. Well, it's not really
11:39
live <laugh> , you know, because
11:41
unfortunately the technology they
11:44
use comes with a number of
11:46
, you know , a significant delay in their stream.
11:49
So that's why we're trying to differentiate
11:51
between the , the term live and
11:54
the term real time . So I
11:56
mean, to their credit, they don't use real
11:58
time . So, you know, there , there isn't really
12:00
an argument there, but we wanted
12:02
to make sure that nobody is referring
12:05
to us and what we stream as
12:07
live.
12:08
Cool. Makes sense. And what about kind
12:10
of this, this use of channels?
12:12
I mean, if you're taking a kind of educational
12:15
approach, are there specific channels that you
12:17
think of being more a focus for you
12:19
in terms of , you mentioned PR and other things, but
12:22
other areas that you've had to focus on more
12:24
to kind of get that educational messaging
12:26
out there?
12:27
Yeah. I mean, for us, you know, it's a little bit
12:29
of a challenge because we're not a business, you
12:31
know, a B2C company, we're a B2B
12:33
company, certainly it it's, you
12:36
know, you could argue we're B to B , to C , but
12:39
our direct relationship and,
12:41
and our customer is typically another
12:43
business. You know, we're working with content
12:46
owners, rights holders, broadcasters,
12:48
sports leagues agencies that represent
12:51
companies that own content, anybody that
12:53
owns content basically, or the rights to content
12:56
are the people that we do business with. So
12:59
they're the ones that touch the consumer. So
13:02
for us, you know, how do we market
13:04
and how do we educate the
13:06
business community is a little bit more challenging
13:09
cuz we don't have as many tools at
13:11
our disposal, but certainly
13:14
the press, the media conferences,
13:17
places that we can reach other
13:20
businesses in person webinars,
13:23
things of that nature. Those are the tools
13:25
that we've been able to use to
13:27
help us educate the market.
13:30
The finite community and podcast are

13:43
x.agency to find out how they partner with marketing
13:45
teams in B2B technology companies to
13:47
drive growth.
13:49
I think what's interesting is just exploring a little bit
13:51
that language being used for this kind of thing. I , I , you
13:53
mentioned their range of different state stakeholders . You talked
13:55
about, I guess, within anything like this, there's
13:58
the usual kind of commercial business decision
14:00
makers. And then there's also the more technical
14:02
ones. And, you know, as with any B2B punch
14:05
decision, what 5,
14:07
10, 15 people involved in, in going with a
14:09
solution such as yourselves. And so kind
14:11
of the , the language within the messaging can be
14:14
hard to get, right? What's your experience being there
14:16
?
14:17
No, it is a language and, and , and
14:19
then , I mean, that's not uncommon, you know, most business have,
14:21
have their own sort of language to some
14:24
extent that's unique to either them or
14:26
to their business, but you're right. I
14:28
mean, it's interesting. One of the things that
14:30
we learned early on was, you
14:33
know, what stakeholders should we be
14:35
talking to ? And initially
14:38
we really focused on the technical
14:40
side of things because we are
14:42
a technology company and our solution is
14:45
a technology solution. So
14:47
we really focused on, you know, the CTO
14:49
and you know, the people in their office. But
14:52
one of the things that we learned over some time
14:55
was that, you know, having the CTO let's
14:57
say in our corner is great, but
15:01
they don't necessarily own the budget. So
15:04
it was important for us to have someone
15:07
on the business side, you know, as
15:10
you get getting involved as early on in the process
15:12
as possible. And in some cases
15:15
now we even speak to
15:17
somebody on the business side, whether it be the CMO
15:20
or, you know, head of business development or,
15:22
you know, different types of roles. We
15:24
sometimes end up speaking to them first because,
15:28
you know, they're the ones that are making the overall
15:30
business decision for their company and
15:32
taking the company in a certain direction. So
15:35
invariably they will bring in tech
15:38
people because they have to evaluate our
15:40
technology, but it's not that
15:42
unusual for us to begin the , the
15:45
dialogue on the business side and then bring in
15:47
kind of the techno uh , the technical stakeholders.
15:50
And so from your own kind of marketing
15:52
messaging perspective, do you focus
15:55
on the business message and the
15:57
commercial message more than anything and, and
15:59
the , the , the kind of technical messaging is secondary
16:01
to that ?
16:02
You know , I would say that we, we , we're trying to
16:04
balance it a little bit . We are
16:07
now at a point where for
16:09
the first time where gonna
16:12
start branching out from a marketing perspective
16:14
and do some things that we haven't done in
16:17
the past, like search engine optimization
16:19
and keywords , things of that
16:21
nature, we're gonna be bringing on, you
16:24
know, a new , uh , marketing automation tool. We,
16:26
I recently hired a new director of product marketing
16:29
who comes from a little bit more of the technical
16:32
side of things, which is great because I,
16:34
my background isn't technical. So
16:37
this is a person that's gonna really serve this
16:39
kind of my right hand and help me, you
16:42
know, assess things from a more technical
16:44
marketing perspective. So we're gonna look
16:46
at things a little bit differently, but
16:49
the idea of , of what we're trying to do
16:51
is try and , uh , bring
16:53
in a little bit more balance to what we've done
16:55
in the past and have
16:57
it not just be press and PR, but
17:00
also add some SEO. Obviously
17:03
conferences will always be important to us,
17:06
but, you know, trying to expand the
17:08
marketing, trying and do a little bit more with
17:11
social media, LinkedIn is
17:13
a great, is a great avenue for
17:15
us, cuz it's a sort of more business oriented
17:17
social network. So there
17:19
are , you know, so there are things that we wanna try
17:21
and do more of that we haven't
17:24
done in the past.
17:25
Are there examples of more educational
17:27
kind of campaigns or things that you , you have done that,
17:29
you know , you've done as you know , with educational
17:32
side of things in mind, I dunno whether you approach
17:34
things as a marketing team from more of
17:36
a kind of campaign basis or more of a kind of always
17:38
on approach, but it's always interesting to hear how,
17:40
how different CMOs structure their, their campaigns
17:43
and no ,
17:43
Absolutely. So, you know, what
17:45
we've done is, you know,
17:48
we had this tagline, as I mentioned
17:50
before, live and real time are not the same. And
17:53
that was something that we went out with for
17:56
probably the first two or three years of
17:58
our existence and certainly our work
18:00
with diffusion and kind of spreading
18:02
that message across, but over
18:05
the past, probably 12
18:08
to 18 months or so maybe
18:11
a little bit more we've changed a
18:13
tagline and changed the approach to
18:15
a more direct kind of
18:18
a , you know, taking advantage of our value
18:20
proposition. So our tagline
18:22
now is real time in sync
18:24
at scale. And the reason for
18:26
that is so we can speak directly to
18:29
the three pillars, as I mentioned before, the
18:31
three pillars of what our technology
18:34
solves right up front . So
18:36
there's, you know, there's sort of, no, <laugh>
18:38
, there's no guessing as to what we
18:40
bring to the table and, you
18:42
know, I wanted it to be that way. So we
18:45
can really talk and educate
18:47
the market in a way that, you know, Hey,
18:49
for the first few years it was, we're
18:52
a new company. We're a real
18:54
time streaming technology. We're not live.
18:56
This is how we differentiate ourselves. Now
18:59
that we're a little bit more established, this
19:01
is what we really do, and this is what
19:03
we do well. So it's
19:05
now kind of, you know, educating, it's
19:08
kind of step two in the educat of
19:11
, of how we're marketing ourselves.
19:14
And would you say that's become more kind of direct
19:16
in terms of, and maybe this becomes with that evolution
19:18
of, you know , you're defining a category or
19:20
educating the market early on, but
19:22
then do you reach a stage where you
19:25
can be a lot more direct again about features
19:27
and benefits and what the technology does? And
19:30
because I think a lot of B2B companies are too quick to jump to,
19:33
as you said before, talking about just the technology,
19:35
how the product works, what it does, you know,
19:37
the , the , the solutions and less
19:40
about the, the value
19:42
created. Do you feel like now you're heading back
19:44
more towards that kind of direct
19:47
Yeah . A hundred percent . And, and I think it's, you
19:49
know, it's a , it's a fine line and you make a
19:51
good point. It's a fine line as to when you make
19:53
that change and how you kind
19:55
of switch from one campaign
20:00
to, you know, to the next one or how you
20:02
graduate, if you will. So that was
20:04
important. And I felt like, it
20:07
just felt like the time was right. We had, you
20:10
know, we had bigger, we had signed
20:12
Verizon to a much bigger deal. You
20:15
know, it was a point in our career where the
20:17
company's life cycle , if you will, where
20:20
the conversations we were having with much
20:22
bigger companies. So I
20:24
thought it was necessary to make a change and
20:27
be more direct to your point and
20:29
really speak to exactly what we do.
20:32
So we could sort of speed
20:35
up if you will, the conversations
20:37
to get to exactly what we do, how we
20:39
do it, what the business model is.
20:42
You know, those are things that in the earlier days,
20:45
you know, took us a little bit longer to get
20:47
to, but now it's, you
20:49
know, who's the client, what are they looking for?
20:51
What are their pain points? How can
20:53
we solve the problems, you know, et
20:56
cetera . So I think that's where we are
20:58
now.
20:58
And how does that help from a, I guess , a competitor
21:01
differentiation perspective? Like I , I know
21:03
, and I dunno whether you are , are you competing against the
21:06
more kind of legacy live streamers
21:08
rather than the realtime? So I assume there might be other competitors
21:11
in the, kind of the, the realtime
21:13
space as well.
21:15
Yes, I would say, you know, there's still a little bit
21:17
of both. There are still some of the legacy players
21:19
out there that look, I mean, you
21:21
know, it's, as I said, you know, not every
21:23
use case, you know, has to have real
21:26
time streaming. So, you know,
21:28
in some cases, somebody may say
21:30
five or 10 seconds is enough, is
21:32
fine. You know, we don't need to lower
21:34
it. And in most cases, the
21:37
reason for that is the
21:39
companies, the content owners, whether it be a broadcaster
21:42
or whatnot , the tech stacks that
21:44
they have have been built on legacy
21:47
technology. So for them to
21:49
go ahead and change it to
21:51
what we want to have them ultimately
21:54
do, you know, requires a commitment
21:57
and a decision, you know, from senior management
22:00
to make that change. And we're
22:02
not blind to the fact that there's money that needs to
22:04
be spent to make that change and resources
22:07
have to be re allocated. But
22:09
look, I mean, selfish, we look at, we look
22:11
at it as a step back for three ahead.
22:14
So we're really convinced that the
22:16
market is gonna have to go there. It's
22:18
just a matter of timing. Consumers
22:20
are starting to flock to social media more
22:23
and more and talk about their
22:25
streams delayed and it's buffered and,
22:27
you know, the qualities and great , and it's
22:30
dropping and things of that nature. So ultimately
22:33
over time that just can't
22:35
be the norm anymore. And it doesn't have to
22:37
be since there's, you know, technology from
22:40
company like ours that have solved those issues.
22:42
So yeah, I think it, you know, the time is
22:44
getting close.
22:45
Absolutely. Well , we're pretty much outta
22:47
time. I was gonna ask you maybe one final question that's
22:50
to end on a end on a positive, which was
22:52
gonna be , um, I guess what you are , what you're
22:54
kind of most excited about in the, in the B2B marketing
22:56
world with your, with your CMO hat on
22:58
, like, what are you excited about? You mentioned some of the things you're
23:01
looking at at kind of testing out new new
23:03
things and some of SEO and pay channels and stuff. Are
23:05
there any other things that you are kind excited about
23:07
as, as 22, 20 22 gets
23:10
underway?
23:11
Yeah, well, I think, you know, for us, the , the
23:13
, the world of sports betting has become, you
23:15
know, a very important space for us
23:18
and, you know, it's, it's almost
23:22
not all the states, but they're more than half the
23:24
states now have some sort of betting legislation.
23:27
So, you know, we're gonna , we're
23:29
starting to talk to, so some of the sports books directly
23:32
and, you know, looking at, you know, marketing
23:34
and even potentially some advertising
23:36
with some of them, you know, doing some, you
23:39
know, even I would dare to say cons
23:41
more consumer oriented advertising.
23:44
So people out there know who we
23:46
are and what we're able to do, and
23:48
the types of things that we are powering.
23:50
So I'm pretty excited about getting into
23:52
that a little bit more and, you know, just
23:56
the technology changes so quickly that, you
23:59
know , you have to try and keep up to keep up. So pretty
24:01
exciting times though, for sure.
24:03
Yeah, absolutely. I , I think a lot of , to be tech
24:05
companies overlook the partnership marketing
24:07
side of things and doing kind of joint joint
24:09
campaigns. So if you've , yeah , if you've got those partnerships then
24:12
sounds like a
24:15
Company you keep , right. I mean, it's , especially
24:17
for companies that aren't as well established
24:19
sometimes by partnering with somebody who is
24:21
a little bit more established, you know , like , look
24:24
, I mean , partnering with Verizon gave
24:26
us a lot of credibility in the market and, you
24:28
know, having that type of relationship means
24:31
something because if they felt like they
24:33
comfortable, they're comfortable enough, you
24:36
know, working with us well , then
24:38
other companies could too. So that's where it
24:40
goes.
24:41
Yeah . Yeah . Cool. Exciting times . So
24:43
I'm looking forward to keeping an eye on how , uh , how everything could
24:45
, but in the meantime, thank you for,
