Alice de Courcy spent 7 years as CMO at Cognism, scaling the company from 3M to nearly 100M ARR and she documented almost every lesson publicly along the way.

In this episode, Jordan sits down with Alice to unpack what it actually takes to build a B2B marketing engine that compounds over time: how she earned the CMO title from within, how she structured a 28-person global team, and why she eventually blew up her entire lead generation model to replace it with a content-driven demand creation machine.

They go deep on the math behind ungating content, how she sold the shift to a skeptical C-suite and board, the tools she used to measure what happened in the dark, and the content pillars framework she built to make memorability systematic.

Alice also shares her current work as a fractional CMO, what she's learned from the outside looking in, and why quality of content is the one moat that AI still can't replicate.
