Boring2Brave Summary

Boring2Brave: The 'bravery-as-a-strategy' mindset that's transforming B2B marketing by Mark Choueke

Hello. You're a B2B SaaS marketer, right? Yeah, I thought I recognised you. What are you working on? What's that? Whatever the sales team needs to close the next deal?

It's hard, right? The maniacal race to convert leads is an addiction for B2B tech companies. But such deal-driven focus means your marketing looks identical to that of your growing competitor set: complex, technical, boring, product-led sales messages spewed onto another whitepaper. It's self-sabotage: 'fail to differentiate, blend in, become invisible'.

Sound familiar? Try being braver.

Boring2Brave is a step-by-step guide to showing how B2B marketing done differently will increase your influence and '10X' results. Stop being measured in metrics you've always known are meaningless and start building your company's brand and value. Get off the treadmill. This book will equip you to inject audacity, invention and white-hot competitive advantage into your B2B marketing.

Just by being brave.

A former editor of Marketing Week Magazine, Mark Choueke's 20-year career at the heart of global B2B marketing has seen him grow more than 50 B2B technology companies across the world.

Boring2Brave Reviews

Being creative is important in any job. Being creative when you are in marketing is vital. This book is for those working in marketing and creative jobs, looking to brush up their creative stream and be brave. Very interesting and supportive.

A thought provoking read for B2B marketers at all levels
Boring2Brave is an illuminating read, throwing down the gauntlet to B2B marketers everywhere to raise their game and dare to be braver in their marketing activity. Brought to life by insightful - and amusing - examples from thought leaders across the industry, this is a great work that raises question we as marketers should all be asking ourselves: Do I want to spend my life writing ebooks? Are my creative skills really bringing genuine value to the business launching another inane newsletter? Or can I be better by being braver? A breath of fresh air in marketing strategy literature, Boring 2 Brave is a great way to reconsider your marketing activity and inspire new ways of thinkings for yourself, and across your wider business.
