🎙️ Tonight on The Above The Bar Podcast🕗 Live at 8 PM EST Tonight’s guest is Behdad Jamshidi, also known as Bee, founder of CJAM The Marketing Connector. Bee created CJAM after realizing a major problem most businesses face. They don’t know how to evaluate a marketing agency or even clearly define what they actually need. And the truth is, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Over the past 7 years, Bee has assessed more than 1,100 marketing agencies and narrowed them down to a trusted network of just over 100 preferred partners across every niche. His real strength is in the matchmaking process — connecting the right business with the right marketing team at the right time. Featured in MarketWatch, Bloomberg, National Post, and Financial Post, Bee brings a unique mix of experience in marketing, engineering, consulting, leadership, sales, and strategy. Tonight we’ll dive into:• Why most businesses choose the wrong marketing agency• How to figure out what your business actually needs• The biggest mistakes companies make when hiring marketing help• How the right partnership can drive real growth If marketing has ever felt like a guessing game, this is one you don’t want to miss.
