In the conversation, Odden explains why interactive, experiential content is becoming essential to modern B2B marketing, and why many teams still miss the opportunity.
He also shares why AI-generated content can't replace human storytelling, and how agencies can bridge that gap through creative strategy.
A recent TopRank Marketing study found that 78% of B2B marketers say interactive content drives repeat engagement, yet only 33% use it regularly.
That execution gap, according to Odden, highlights a missed opportunity for agencies. It also shows that their work should prioritize quality over quantity.
"These perceptions that throwing more digital spaghetti against the wall is an effective effort when really it's just littering," Odden told DesignRush's Kia Johnson.
"It's littering our inboxes and our feeds with stuff that just doesn't mean anything."
DesignRush and Odden also cover:
Odden also shares real examples, including TopRank's SAP campaign that used an interactive microsite and influencer content to achieve record engagement.
"The interactive experiential aspect of it was such high quality and so relevant," Odden said.
"It achieved sharing levels amongst these influencers at levels we had never seen before."
Key Takeaways for B2B Marketers:
Odden also highlights how agencies can build confidence into the buying journey by delivering persona-specific, trust-building formats like ROI tools for finance or readiness checklists for IT.
Confidence is what drives modern B2B growth.
