Weekly Marketing Review — 2026-03-18

Client: [1]
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.

Attendees:

Name Company Role
Aaron Grossman AviaryAI Sales
Justin Dwyer AviaryAI Internal stakeholder
Abraham Blesson AviaryAI Founder/LinkedIn presence
Mark Hope Asymmetric Account lead
Karly Oykhman Asymmetric Content/SEO
Sebastian Gant Asymmetric Copywriter
Avokerie Onorimuo Asymmetric

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:

"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

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
