In this episode, Sally is joined by Fractional CMO Jeremy Laight to unpack how buyer behaviour has transformed and why the classic AIDA funnel no longer reflects the messy, multi-channel journeys buyers take today.
Jeremy explains how AI is collapsing the top of the funnel, how buyers are joining the dots long before they ever reach your website, and why trust and credibility now carry more weight than any neatly mapped “journey”.
Together, they explore what this means for B2B and fintech marketers, from the role of content and social proof to how teams can influence the 70% of decisions that happen before a brand even knows it’s being considered.
In this episode, they cover:
How AI is collapsing awareness and speeding up decisions
Why modern buyer journeys are mostly invisible
The impact of multi-person B2B decision-making
The rise of peer recommendations via Slack and LinkedIn
The types of content that get discovered, shared and trusted
What marketers should prioritise to stay relevant in 2026
Jeremy also shares details of The Slice Network, his growing LinkedIn community for fractional CMOs and marketers.
