Breaking Patterns and Owning the 95% (with Madhav Bhandari) | Ep. 24

Brand marketing isn't just a channel-it's the moat. In this conversation, Charlie Riley sits down with Madhav Bhandari, Head of Marketing at Storylane, to unpack how a fast-growing demo automation platform built more than half its pipeline from brand alone.

Madhav shares how Storylane moved from 12 to 40 annual events, leaned into the "95-5 rule," and made real-world activations a core strategy. From mobile billboard trucks outside Exit Five to QR-coded demos that travel home in your pocket, he reveals how to measure brand in direct and indirect ways-and why breaking patterns at smaller events pays off.

You'll hear exactly how brand drives Storylane's influence in communities, ease of recruiting, inbound booth traffic, and even multithreaded enterprise deals where attribution is complex. If you've been questioning how to prove brand's ROI, this episode delivers real examples, metrics, and ideas you can put into play.
