Lee's team specializes in helping B2B brands create content that is "optimized for search and influencer-activated."

I invited him to Marketing Smarts to talk about how influencer marketing adds value for B2B brands, how to overcome the most common challenges with using influencers for B2B, and the characteristics that the most successful B2B brands in the space share.
