How to Build Authority When Your Product Lives Behind Someone Else’s Name | Gabrielle Bier, Content & Brand Marketing Lead, Parafin

Araminta speaks with Gabrielle Bier, Content and Brand Marketing Lead at Parafin, on building a content strategy when the product is white-labeled and brand awareness is low despite Parafin reaching 20% of U.S. small businesses. Gabrielle explains focusing content on platform product leaders and executives by owning specific conversations like embedded capital and embedded lending, using proprietary SMB data and anonymized merchant stories to differentiate, and balancing technical posts with thought leadership. She shares her review process involving executives, sales, and compliance, and her SEO/AEO strategy. They also discuss distribution and evolving measurement from top-of-funnel to sales influence and attribution.

Key topics include:

• How to build awareness for a product that works behind the scenes
• Why building content for AEO first over SEO
• How to build a mini-committee with stakeholders outside marketing
