What Our Most Successful Clients Are Doing In February

As businesses move through Q4 and look ahead to 2026, many teams are asking the same question. Should we slow down or should we be gearing up for the year ahead? In this episode of B2B Inspired, Dale Koerner and Freyja Spaven unpack one of the most important topics in B2B marketing right now. How to use the December and January period to create strategic clarity, build momentum and set your marketing function up for a stronger financial year.

Dale and Freyja explore the misconceptions around the New Zealand summer slowdown, why customer insight matters more than ever during this period, and how teams can remove friction and add value when clients are feeling stretched. They discuss the role of AI inside marketing teams, the mindset shifts required for better planning, and what opportunities they believe will shape 2026. This is a candid, practical conversation designed to help marketers think ahead with confidence and operate with intention.
