"Winning at Social Media Marketing with Heather Margolis"
In this episode of the WIN Podcast, host Carrie Richardson interviews Heather Margolis, founder of Channel Maven, to uncover her strategies for leveraging social media as a powerful tool in B2B marketing. Heather shares invaluable advice on using platforms like Instagram and TikTok to drive engagement, create impactful campaigns, and generate leads for businesses of all sizes.
Key Takeaways:
- Why Instagram is becoming a B2B powerhouse: “If they're searching on their phone for channel marketing, and then they go to Instagram, I want them to find me,” Heather explains, emphasizing the importance of visibility across platforms.
- The power of affordable social media advertising: “My Instagram budget is about $2,000 a month, including the agency to manage it. If I did that on LinkedIn, it would be $6,000 a month,” she reveals, offering a compelling case for diversifying ad spend.
- Creating high-impact, targeted content: Heather advises, “Your video needs captions that call to your audience. If I’m selling to CMOs, the video and words will say, ‘Are you a CMO in the tech industry?’ It grabs their attention instantly.”
- Tailoring strategies to your audience’s environment: “I scroll Instagram for videos at home, but in a business meeting, I use Threads because I can’t play a video. It’s about knowing your audience and how they consume content,” Heather notes.
Heather also offers actionable insights for managed service providers (MSPs) and other B2B organizations on how to make social media ads work for them:
- Target decision-makers with specific industry-related keywords.
- Utilize simple funnels to convert viewers into leads.
- Balance creativity and analytics for campaign success.
This episode is a must-listen for businesses seeking to enhance their digital marketing strategies while keeping costs in check.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
