Marketing B2B Technology

The Webinar Geek team believes that a webinar can be an added value to any organisation. Software should never be the reason to not start with webinars. This is why they are developing software that not only is user friendly, but is also pleasant to work with and can help you be successful.
We were looking for a suitable webinar platform for Napier: we wanted to deliver focussed webinars to a relatively small audience and wanted to see if there was a better solution than the well-known big providers such as Goto Webinar and Webex. When we found Webinar Geek, we subscribed and have been delighted with the platform, so we asked if we could interview one of the team.
We were lucky to be able to interview Remy Gardien, who is the CTO at Webinar Geek. His knowledge of webinars, and experience helping the many customers at Webinar Geek, meant he was able to pass on a wealth of knowledge. If you are not running a webinar, this might be the podcast episode to inspire you to start.

Ash has helped to build some of the UK’s biggest CEO’s & Founders into industry-leading influential figures on Social Media, particularly on LinkedIn. His journey started with Steven Bartlett, CEO of Social Chain, where Ash helped him to grow an audience of over 1,000,000+ across Social Media platforms. Steven is now widely considered the UK’s most influential marketer and is seeing huge commercial success.
More recently, Ash has launched his own company, Great Influence, where he has worked with CEOs including Umar Kamani, CEO of Pretty Little Thing, Julian Hearn, Founder of Huel and Sacha Lord, Founder of Parklife & Warehouse Project.
I've worked with Ash a few times and have never failed to be impressed. This episode is a great overview of how some of the most influential business people use LinkedIn and Ash is kind enough to share numerous tips that will help you, and your company's executives grow their influence on this important social platform.
