ABOUT THIS EPISODE
Kathleen Booth has built her career around one simple truth: brand and revenue are not opposites.
In this episode of Her Path to Revenue, Janelle sits down with Kathleen Booth—B2B SaaS marketing leader, former agency founder, and now Head of Marketing at Sequel.io—to unpack what it actually takes to build sustainable growth in today’s market.
Before leading marketing inside some of the most respected communities and SaaS companies in tech, Kathleen spent over a decade building and scaling her own agency alongside her husband. That experience fundamentally shaped how she thinks about marketing today—because when payroll depends on revenue, marketing stops being theoretical very quickly.
Together, Janelle and Kathleen dive into the real mechanics behind revenue growth, including why community-led growth compounds over time, how challenger brands win market share during industry consolidation, and why marketers need to rethink the way they approach owned experiences and first-party data.
They also explore the human side of leadership—from balancing work and family seasons to building confidence in executive roles and taking the leap when the next chapter feels uncertain.
If you’re a marketing leader, founder, or operator trying to turn brand into real pipeline, this conversation will challenge how you think about growth.
