How can you run an event without B2B influencers these days?

Especially if we’re talking about the important stuff like the AppsFlyer Fall Release yesterday!
The energy felt like one of those GPT launch days when the whole industry stops to watch what drops next.

Same vibe.
Everyone tuned in.
Everyone curious about what will shift in their workflow tomorrow.

Massive thanks to the AppsFlyer team for the chance to work together and bring a selected group of top LinkedIn creators to the event 🔥 kudos to Sam Dey Ashleen Narula Melanya Laz Katie Street & to everyone who supported us online Alexander Chekan Tom Boston & more!  

P.S. Founder-mum reality: you attend events with the whole family in tow. Sometimes literally the whole crew (lol Dennis Lazard 😘)Thank you, Shahar David-Hazan, for being such a baby-friendly organiser. It means the world.

B2B deserves cool influencers, too 🦄 | Founder @ Kudos Narratives

Why would an AI startup do a pop-up in a place that sells niche print magazines?

Yesterday I got to visit a cozy preview of the Claude pop-up inside London’s Airmail store - and weirdly, the combo makes perfect sense.

Airmail treats magazines as art objects.
Claude treats thinking the same way.

Both believe that in a noisy information world, people deserve tools - and stories - that make them feel grounded, not overwhelmed.

Print isn’t dead. Bad print is dead.
Same with AI.
It’s just a tool. The question is: how AI can help us create deep meaningful stories people can engage with?

If you’re curious, go check out the Claude pop-up at Airmail while it’s still running!!

P.S. And honestly - it felt good to see my old folks and meet new people too! Lauren Ingram Charlie Hills ⚡️Harvey Lee ⚡️ Tara Knight 🧩 Lexie Barnhorn ✨ The kind of crowd that always leaves you with better ideas than you arrived with.

London is a bit late with the US book delivery, BUT… massive congrats to Brianna Doe on releasing The Unapologetic Professional!!

I guess everyone has had that moment when you walk into a room and feel different.

In those situations you face a choice.
You can shape-shift to fit the environment or stay who you are and risk standing out and a feeling that you don’t belong.

As much as it sounds, not a poetic choice. Just hard.

I didn’t fit into creative circles. Too money-oriented.
Didn’t fit into my economics circles. Too creative.

Despite working with tech companies and founders for almost a decade, I still feel not techy enough. (I guess chapter one about imposter syndrome will do me good :)

I am a woman, a first-generation immigrant, a first-generation founder, and a first-time mum. And at the same time, I am simply Margo. An entrepreneur building a company like everyone else.

What I learned: you can’t build a meaningful career if you edit yourself to please the room.
Not in marketing. Not in leadership. Not anywhere.

The strongest professionals I’ve worked with – from global brands to early-stage founders – have one thing in common. They stay rooted in who they are. It becomes their brand. Their advantage. Their clarity.

This book is a reminder that showing up as yourself is not a risk. It’s a strategy.

Can’t wait to read it.

Brand managers constantly running out of fresh content assets.

Most brand teams are under pressure to deliver more content:

👉 Campaign launches need visuals. 👉 Sales decks need fresh stories. 👉 Social media cries out for posts that don’t look corporate.

The truth is: most brand departments are not built to create content at scale.

But you know who are? Creators. 
They live and breathe content. And the best part? Their work doesn’t just stop at one LinkedIn post – it can be reused across decks, ads, blogs, newsletters… you name it.
 So when choosing a creator, think about the content format they are killers at. 
Carousel perform really great on LinkedIn. They built on storytelling, drive engagement and literally suck reader into the narrative when done right.   These are my Top 5 creators with killer carousels I’d immediately tap:
1. Joe Burns  
2. Alex M H Smith  
3. Ana Andjelic  
4. Matt Gray  
5. Nick Broekema
