201 - Why Your Website Needs To Be An Experience And Not A Brochure In 2024 (Shane Murphy-Reuter, CMO at Webflow)

I've been talking about websites quite a bit on the show, on LinkedIn, and I just came off a project where I looked at close to 200 B2B websites (!) and realized that being a B2B buyer in 2024 is kind of still awful. I wanted to explore why that is with Shane Murphy-Reuter, CMO at Webflow.

We also cover:

Who's on the marketing team at Webflow;

Why do B2B websites still suck in 2024;

Going beyond your website copy, how else can companies think about improving their websites today? (HINT: make it a memorable experience);

What marketing big bets are you taking in 2024 and why;

AMA: Shane asks me his burning question which I will answer in the next BONUS episode.
