Good morning.
Here's what matters today.

We don't sell speaker slots at Ahrefs Evolve. Neither do we book speakers just for a big logo. Every name on our San Diego lineup this October is someone I *personally* wanted to hear speak. Some I've followed and learned from for years. Others I've only just discovered, and I can't wait to hear what they've got. ...and I'm really hoping you share my taste in speakers. 😇 🔸 Ann Handley - Digital marketing & content expert. Wall Street Journal bestselling author. Keynote speaker. 🔸 Ross Simmonds - CEO @ Foundation & Distribution.ai  🔸 Rand Fishkin - Founder of SparkToro, Alertmouse, & Snackbar Studio. 🔸 Aleyda Solís - Founder of Orainti & SEOFOMO. Co-Founder of Finchling. 🔸 Austin Lau - Growth Marketing at Anthropic, Growth Advisor for Notion, Webflow, Canal, etc 🔸 Tara Robertson - CMO at Bitly (prev. Teamwork, Sprout Social, Hotjar) 🔸 Brianna Doe - Founder of Verbatim (influencer marketing agency), Writer & Host, Stop the Scroll. 🔸 Ethan Smith - CEO at Graphite.io, Partner at Reforge, Adjunct Professor at IE Business School. 🔸 Alina Vandenberghe 🌶️ - Co-founder & co-CEO at Chili Piper 🔸 Harry Dry - Founder of MarketingExamples.com, copywriting extraordinaire 🔸 James Brockbank - Managing Director at Digitaloft (digital PR and SEO agency) ^^ If that's your kind of speaker lineup, I'll see you in San Diego on October 12–13. 😉

What is the best marketing play you’ve run in 2026? We are looking to feature a few B2B marketers that can share one specific campaign / play they’ve executed at work so far this year that has delivered great results. Could be an ad campaign. And influencer play. Content. Video. Heck even a sales enablement play. The catch: you have to be able to explain it and in TWO quick minutes on our Live Session (not a webinar) and then if you survive the first round you’ll have more minutes to showcase your work in front of hundreds of your peers! Leave a comment here so Marisa Forsman (Timko) and Maria Vasserman can sort through the best ones. NOTE: our preference for this session is plays from current in-house marketers. This is not out of disrespect for our agency and contractor friends - just we want specific examples in-house from companies right now!! 🗣️❤️ we have found those are the examples people want more of … “give me specific examples that you actually did at work in B2B” But if you’re not in-house and have a banger of example …. Of course we will listen …..
