About this listen

When customers barely notice your brand, how do you earn trust and drive action without a big budget?

David Pendery shares how a comms-first mindset helped a utility make the “invisible” feel tangible, why he measured success through program participation instead of revenue, and how masterbranding simplified a complex B2B portfolio at CSG. You’ll hear practical ways to co-create positioning with analysts, build credibility in new markets, and scale a team from 8 to 60 without losing curiosity or humility.

What you’ll learn

  • Story-first tactics to grow affinity when you can’t outspend competitors
  • How to pick metrics when revenue isn’t the right KPI
  • A simple framework for masterbrand naming that reduces buyer confusion
  • Low-cost research loops using analyst feedback to de-risk positioning
  • Practical steps for the first 60–90 days leading a new function
  • Leadership habits that sustain momentum: trust, transparency, humility
