The Resilience Report

Jan 10 2024 • 50 mins

The world of environmental impact is a delicate one, an area that requires an incredible amount of nuance when it comes to storytelling. So, who better to join us than two experts in the field of digital marketing and sales: Carman Pirie and Jeff White, co-founders of Kula Partners - an agency committed to helping leading B2B manufacturers craft digital experiences that transform how they engage buyers, serve customers, and outpace their competition online. Based out of Halifax in Nova Scotia, Canada, Jeff and Carman also co-host The Kula Ring podcast, which features conversations about marketing, sales, and technology with top manufacturing executives from across North America.

This is such a fun episode of The Resilience Report – almost like you are a fly on the wall at a dinner party with myself and our next two guests chatting all things green claims, B2B messaging with a double-click into the manufacturing space, website accessibility and much more.
