B2B Marketing with Fexingo: Enterprise Demand Gen, ABM, and Long Sales Cycles

Fexingo 50 Episodes Oct 16, 2026

Lucas and Luna cut through the fog of B2B marketing hype to focus on what actually moves enterprise revenue: demand generation for six-figure ACV deals, account-based marketing that aligns sales and marketing, and navigating sales cycles that stretch six to twelve months. Each episode takes one core challenge—building a tier-1 ABM program from scratch, measuring pipeline influence without vanity metrics, structuring a lead-scoring model that sales trusts—and examines it through real company cases. The show is for heads of demand generation, ABM program managers, and B2B marketing leaders who are tired of platitudes and want the math behind the playbook.
