Meeting type: Weekly sync
Recording: Fathom
Overview
Weekly marketing review focused on a critical inflection point: the current ABM campaign is not generating sales-qualified leads against a contractual target of 6–12 SQLs/month. The team agreed to pivot to a dual-tier outreach strategy while continuing to build SEO momentum and launching a new video/LinkedIn content program.

Key Decisions
1. ABM Strategy Pivot — Dual-Tier Approach
The current single-contact ABM campaign (264 emails sent, 30 human opens, 18 human clicks, 0 SQLs) is not generating enough volume or response to hit contractual targets. The team agreed to restructure:
- Tier 1 — Top 2,000 CUs: Continue highly personalized, AI-generated outreach. Aaron will send Mark a spreadsheet of 200–300 new contacts every Monday via Slack. Mark's team handles HubSpot import.
- Tier 2 — Remaining ~60,000 contacts: Launch a broad, less-personalized nurture campaign via Amazon SES. All contacts not in Aaron's active HubSpot sales pipeline (currently 69 contacts) are eligible.
- Exclusion list: Mark will build a HubSpot segment from Aaron's active pipeline and use it as a suppression list across all campaigns.
"Outside of that sales pipeline in HubSpot, we can literally spam them all day, every day." — Aaron Grossman
Lead definition clarification needed: Aaron flagged that the contract target of 6–12/month refers to sales-qualified leads (SQLs), not marketing-qualified leads (MQLs). Mark will pull the agreement to confirm the exact definition.
2. SEO — Optimize Existing Newsletter Content
Karly proposed optimizing the 36+ existing newsletter articles already on the site for keywords, meta descriptions, and alt text. Justin gave blanket approval. Goal is to increase Google's indexed keyword count and boost organic authority — not to revive the newsletter itself.
The dormant MailChimp list (~66 contacts, email-only) will be exported by Justin and sent to Mark for hygiene and potential nurture use.
3. Video & LinkedIn Content Plan
- YouTube revamp: Optimize titles/descriptions with target keywords, add external links, create new thumbnails for existing videos. Upload all 12+ case study MP4s (Justin to provide hard files; Asymmetric team already added as manager on the channel).
- LinkedIn repurposing: Break case study videos into short clips for the AviaryAI company page. Karly will draft a content calendar with posts staged for Justin's review before publishing.
- Blessin's personal LinkedIn: Aaron and Justin will jointly ask Blessin to share his Claude-generated content calendar and, if willing, provide login credentials so Asymmetric can post/comment on his behalf.
4. Website Rebuild — Flagged for Future Discussion
Mark flagged that the current Webflow site is a significant operational blocker — fixes require GTM code injection workarounds. A rebuild in WordPress was proposed as a future initiative. Tabled for next month's discussion.

Notable Transcript Excerpts
On ABM volume and urgency:
"We only have four more months in this contract. If Blessin doesn't see the response, the contract's not going to extend. So let's just blow it out of the water." — Aaron Grossman
On the dual-tier pivot:
"Take the top 2,000, really personalize those — it's got to be a number we can handle — and then take the rest of that 60,000 and put them in more standard marketing." — Mark Hope
On SEO click growth:
"When we started talking to you, you were getting 13 clicks a week. Now we're getting 124. That's a tenfold increase in the number of people actually seeing your website." — Mark Hope
On the Webflow site as a blocker:
"Today I found a bunch of mistakes and the only way I could fix them was by injecting code through Google Tag Manager. It's like duct tape and bailing wire." — Mark Hope
