We help b2b SaaS marketers turn their video footage into leads | Founder at A2 Media | Ex-Shopify & Affirm.

Hi, I'm Ademola 🙋🏿‍♂️ a professional magician turned video marketer. 

I know, weird combo. But here's the thing: after 20+ years of performing magic, I realized something... 

The same principles that make an audience lean in during a trick are the the same ones that make a buyer trust a brand.

That's why I built A2 Media. I wanted to help as many brands as possible use video the way it should be used: to build trust, tell great stories, and connect with audiences. 

The added benefit of content done right is that it fills pipeline, and closes deals faster 😉

Here's what I've noticed over the years:

Most B2B brands don't lose to better products. They lose to better storytelling. Not because their product is weak, but because they haven't figured out how to earn trust through content.

How it works:

You probably don't need a fancier camera or an influencer to bring in views. But what you definitely need is clearer messaging and a deeper understanding of your buyer. So we start there. What do your buyers believe? What's holding them back? What needs to click before they'll ever talk to sales? Then we turn that into multiple videos that your prospects actually want to watch. Content that positions you as the obvious choice.

The results?
→ Your sales team stops explaining the same thing 100x because the content already did it
→ Your brand shows up in the feeds of people you actually want to close
→ Your pipeline fills with pre-educated prospects who already understand your value
→ Your content drives demos and closes deals - not just brand awareness

We don’t make content for likes. We build video systems that educate buyers, create demand, and do the heavy lifting before the sales call ever happens.

We partner best with B2B SaaS companies that have:
✅ $10M+ in annual recurring revenue
✅ A marketing and social team
✅ Camera-ready talent

A few things we’ve helped make happen:
→ Okta: Multiple video series → 20K subs + thousands of DevDay signups
→ Reveal: 4M+ organic impressions in new markets → acquisition shortly after
→ Nearbound: Cut sales time-to-close by 50% with targeted video series
→ Nice Commerce: 482% subscriber growth + multiple 5-figure deals from video
→ A2 Media: Tripled inbound leads with audience-first video edutainment

(Also trusted by teams at Chili Piper, Close, Runway, Warmly, OpenPhone, Treasury4, and Sendoso)

POV: You're a black guy that speaks Japanese.

I once had investors laugh in my face on national television.

And it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to me.

This week, I'm gonna be talking about it on stage in Toronto. 

Quick backstory:

I've started and failed 13 businesses (Ten lost me money, three I walked away from).

I've been rejected more times than I can count.

I've even had people tell me that I wasn't cut out to be an entrepreneur.

To which I'd politely reply "hey listen, f*** you" and be on my way.

Despite all of that, today I'm running A2 Media, the company of my dreams, with the best team I could ask for.

People often ask me what possessed me to keep going.

Honestly? I'm stubborn and I don't like being told what I can and can't do.

But the shorter answer is: I wanted to live life on my own terms.

We're always being told that we need to go to school, get a job, find a partner, buy a house, work a job we hate to pay the bills, retire, and then pass away.

Which is kinda boring, no?

I learned early that I need to do things differently to be happy.

So I've committed my entire life to doing things my own way.

Especially in the way that I run my business.

For example, I don't want to scale to the moon. 

I tried that 13 times and I was never happy.

I just want a business that lets me spend more time with the people I love.

Anyways, I'm gonna be talking about my failures on stage this Thursday.

I'll be telling the story of a BIG FAIL that completely changed the way I think about everything.

If you're in Toronto, come hear the full story.

There will be at least 100 of us in the room.

I'm gonna try and learn ya a thing or two. Life lessons n' stuff, ya dig?

(I don't talk like this, idk why this is coming out the way it is)

⏰ Deadline: Friday, February 20th at midnight.
📌 P.S. Know a brand that needs this? Tag them or repost.

If you're awkward on camera, don't be.

Does that help? If not, then watch this video.

Joking aside, please remember that when it comes to video content, you don't have to be perfect. 

The magic is all in the editing bb. 

All you have to remember is: if you mess up, stop talking, take a breath, count to one, and say your line again.

(Unless it's a live webinar. Then you probably look stupid and you should give up).

Otherwise, trust your editor to take care of you.

And most importantly, trust yourself.

Them: “Glad the video got us sales, but did it go vira-“

Me:

Me: "I wonder what comes up when I google myself..."

The results: 

oh okay 😭

Maggie Arai: "What if I started a community for founders?"

Me: "Hmm… are you sure? How would it be different?"

Maggie: "Every founder community ends up being a Slack group nobody checks. I think we need to be face to face more."

Me: "You're not wrong about that… and if there's anyone I trust to figure this out, it's you."

I mean, she's not wrong, is she?

If you're a founder, you know the feeling…

That feeling where you're surrounded by people, but it feels impossible to find YOUR people.

She’s tired of it too. And she’s doing something about it. 

For those of you that don't know, Maggie worked in AI research and policy for a number of years.

She was literally studying how technology is replacing human connection.

And seeing all of that made her realize she needed to get ahead of it.

A few years ago, while she was still in AI research, she built a company called Happier. 

It helped thousands of people in Toronto make real friends, and it got covered on the news TWICE 💅🏿✨

(I’m so proud 🥹)

This time, she's on a similar mission but a different flavour.

(Because we love a good niche down, right?)

So she's building Founders Who Give A F*ck (FWGAF). A community for founders who hate traditional networking and actually want people they can rely on.

Maggie's going to change a lot more lives.

I mean, look at her track record - am I right!? 

(Yes. Yes, I am right.)

If you’re a founder, go follow what Maggie Arai is doing. 

Maybe this is the space you’ve been looking for.

If you hate video as much as I do, you need to come to this.

This Thursday, we're going to tell you why video is complete sh*t.

My team has made over 500 videos for 25 SaaS brands.

So we would know.

I'll be joined by Louis Butterfield, Oyinkro K, and Connor Lewis.

And we will NOT be holding back.

March 5th at 9:30AM (EST). DO NOT MISS THIS.

Join us here 👉🏿 https://lnkd.in/e35n4v2b

You're welcome 💅🏿✨🙏🏿

P.S. I'm re-reading this and I'm not sure I got the memo correct. Louis can you confirm??

Raise your right hand if you hate sales calls 🙋🏿‍♂️

Me too. But here’s what made me hate them less.

I was always splitting my brain on sales calls.

Am I talking too much? Am I letting them talk enough? Am I asking the right questions?

There was so much noise in my head that wasn't allowing me to be fully present.

And great selling is just having a meaningful conversation, right?

How can you do that if you're trying to juggle a bunch of things at once?

I mean, some people can but definitely not me.

In a lot of ways, selling makes me feel like I'm back in university.

I would always write things down way too slow, miss key points, and struggle to pass the test.

Maybe that's why I've always been so stressed out in sales calls?

Note to self: talk to my therapist about this in our next session ✍🏿

Anyways, I knew there were tools out there that could help - but I was too stubborn to try them out.

AI notetakers were an option, but I'd just tell myself things like:

→ "They're probably not even accurate. No way it catches everything I'm saying." 
→ "I feel weird about being recorded." 
→ "My notes are better, I can just type shorthand and I'll remember it later."

(Fun fact: I never remembered it later)

Meanwhile I'm watching other people use these tools on calls and noticing how much more engaged they are.

I kept saying "I'll try one eventually."

Then I ran into Max Garber from Otter.ai at the Inbound conference.

And he heard me out, listened, and I can't even remember how he did it - but he convinced me to give Otter a chance.

Within a week, everything changed.

After my first call, Otter summarized everything and dropped it in Slack. I looked at it and thought "...I don't have to spend 20 minutes writing the follow-up email now?"

But it wasn't just the summaries.

It caught small things I missed on the call. 

Key details I would've forgotten. 

It organized the next steps so nothing was left to interpretation.

It's not just a note-taker. It's basically become my second brain for every conversation I've had this year.

I stopped being distracted by note-taking and started actually listening.

I quickly learned that selling doesn't need to feel like I'm back in school, trying to avoid failing the next test.

I just needed to listen and ask great questions.

Which you can't do if you're scribbling notes the whole time.

Otter.ai let me be present. And that made all the difference.

P.S. If you're a seller and you’re still taking notes by hand, I can guarantee there are things you’re missing that you would be shocked by. 

Don’t be like me. Why try so hard to stay organized when this can do it for you?

Pause this video we shot and edited for Slate at 00:12.

Notice anything weird?

Yeah, it is what you think it is 😌

HOW FREAKING COOL IS THAT!? 

Our editors used it to build something that would've normally taken days of work.

And it's getting better everyday! 

Tons of brands are replacing their creative teams with AI. 

And it's a dumb move imo.

You're supposed to use AI to fuel the genius of your creators. Not replace them.

Give your best people the best tools, and they’ll produce the best things. 

It’s just math, really 😌

Founder @ Arys - Helping technology solutions providers build and optimise their channel partner & ecosystem initiatives

I help SaaS and tech companies turn partnerships into their strongest growth engine

As the founder of Arys, I’ve spent years in the trenches of ecosystems and B2B alliances, working with companies across the UK, EMEA, US and beyond. The pattern was clear: most partner programs fail not because of lack of effort - but because they’re built on the wrong offer at the wrong time

That’s why at Arys we’ve consolidated everything we do into four offers designed to solve the biggest challenges in partner-led growth -

🔹Sync+ – A fractional ecosystem leadership engagement for tech solutions providers looking to design, scale, or optimise their B2B partnership initiatives 
🔹 Core+ – Accelerate new market entry with GTM execution, ecosystem design, and operational playbooks
🔹 Scale+ – Build investor and acquisition-ready partner foundation stories through strategy and advisory guidance and creation
🔹 Ignite+ – A turnkey, closed-loop GTM initiative blending Arys’ strategy with Channlworks’ AI-driven partner tech platform to create a world-class, rapid deploy, ecosystem-led OS

👉 Four offers. One mission. To make partner-led growth radically simple -and radically effective

If you’re scaling into new markets, preparing for investment, require fractional support, or need a GTM motion that actually delivers, let’s talk
