PRIME|PR Gets Mindbreeze a Feature Inclusion in Financial Times

Everyone is celebrating AI models that can take in more context. Almost nobody is talking about what that context costs.

The Financial Times just looked at the economics of AI tokens, and Daniel Fallmann, Founder and CEO of Mindbreeze, had a pointed take on where enterprise bills quietly balloon.

His point: too many AI deployments feed a model everything, then let it sort out what matters. Daniel’s phrase for it is “feeding it with everything.” Every employee asking a similar question means the same context gets processed again, and the tokens, compute, and energy get spent again with it.

🔹 The problem: agents that pull in every contract version when only the latest one matters.

🔹 The fix: a knowledge layer built on a company’s own data and history, so answers can be reused instead of recomputed.

🔹 The result: more relevant answers with less token waste.

As AI spend moves from pilot budget to line item, the winners will be the companies that know why they deploy AI and can measure what it returns. Efficient use of institutional knowledge is part of that answer.

This is the kind of story we love placing at PRIME. A founder with a real, technical point of view, in a publication the CFO and CIO both read, on a topic every enterprise is now wrestling with.

Congrats to Daniel and the Mindbreeze team.

I had a tense call with a client this morning and I thought many in the industry would benefit from a quick synopsis...and yes, they said it was OK to share.

She told me, pretty angrily, that her board had asked her to cut the PR budget because "it does not generate leads." I asked her how they were measuring that. She said, "last-click attribution." I asked her how many of her enterprise deals this year had closed on a last click.

Long pause.

This is the trap a lot of marketing leaders fall into right now, and it is costing them. The question is not whether PR generates leads. The question is whether your buying journey actually works the way your attribution model pretends it does. In B2B tech, energy, and anything else with a six-figure deal and a buying committee, it rarely does.

Here is what I actually see happen in the real world:

A prospect reads a trade article about a market shift. Three weeks later, they see your executive quoted in a different outlet on the same theme. A month after that, your SDR's cold email lands and gets opened, because the name is familiar. Six weeks in, the prospect finally books the demo. Marketing attributes the deal to paid search. Sales takes credit for the outreach. PR gets nothing, and the board asks why we are spending money on it.

The coverage did the hardest work in that cycle. It just did not get the credit.

PR does not perform like paid media and it never will. What strong PR actually does is lower the perceived risk of saying yes to you. It gives your sales team third-party proof points to use in late-stage objection handling. It helps a CFO on the buying committee feel comfortable defending the choice internally. It makes your demand gen campaigns work harder because the brand is no longer unfamiliar. None of that fits neatly in a HubSpot report, but all of it moves pipeline.

If your PR program is not currently connected to your demand engine, that is a fixable problem. If it is, and you are still measuring it like a performance channel, that is a measurement problem, not a PR problem.

A few things I would challenge every marketing leader to look at this quarter:

How many of your closed deals this year had target accounts that engaged with earned coverage before conversion? If you do not know, you cannot possibly judge PR's contribution.

Are your sellers using earned coverage in sequences and follow-ups, or is it sitting unused in a Google Drive folder somewhere?

When new opportunities self-report how they heard of you, is "I saw an article" something you even give them as an option?

The raw truth is that nobody buys at an enterprise level without trust, and you can't buy trust, no matter how great your ads are. PR builds trust, and ads maximize on that trust...

The companies cutting PR right now because "it does not generate leads" are usually the same ones whose sales teams quietly complain that buyers do not know who they are.

Happy to report the client did not cut their PR budget, but is instead going to ask to raise the budget in 2027.

Social strategy is killing most marketing departments.

LinkedIn is a place for raw insights and real engagement…not perfectly scripted posts that take two hours each to draft and get approvals. No marketing department should be spending nearly 30 hours each month on LinkedIn posts. In social, perfect is the best way to kill engagement.

Your executive should not be spending more than 20 minutes a week on this. If they are, your program is broken, and no amount of "engagement strategy" is going to fix it.

I see this constantly. A CEO's post goes through five rounds of content edits, two rounds of executive comments, and three more rounds of marketing edits before it’s ready to post…and it lands as a beige paragraph nobody finishes reading. The executive is annoyed. The marketing team is burned out. Engagement quietly drops every quarter. And everyone in the meeting keeps asking, "how do we get more posts out?"

Wrong question. The real question is why it takes six people days to produce something that reads like a compliance document.

Here is what I have watched work, in real client situations, over and over:

🎯 Pick two or three lanes for your executive and defend them ruthlessly. Not everything. Not whatever is trending. Two or three topics where their expertise, your company's positioning, and market demand actually overlap. Post only there. Executives who chase every headline get followers. Executives who own a narrow POV get shortlisted.

⏱️ Cap time at 20 minutes a post. Have the exec take five minutes to think of a topic and send a voice memo to the marketing team. The marketing team can draft a post in 10 minutes and one more five-minute review of the draft. That is it. If your process needs more, your process is the problem.

📅 Two or three posts a week. Not daily. Daily posting was 2019. LinkedIn now rewards depth of engagement, not volume. Fewer, sharper posts outperform more, weaker ones every time.

📊 Measure what matters. Follower counts are vanity. Comments from target buyers, DMs into sales, share of voice on category topics, and inbound media or speaking requests are the real scoreboard.

Here is the part I wish more marketing leaders would sit with. The reason executive LinkedIn programs consume so much time is not the platform. It is that no one has decided what the executive actually stands for. Every post becomes a small strategic debate because the big strategic decision was never made. Fix that once and the drafting time collapses.

A working corporate LinkedIn program should take your executive 30 minutes a week, your writer 10 minutes per post, and your marketing team one approval loop. If it takes more, you are not running a program. You are running a committee.

If we removed half the review steps in our LinkedIn process, would the posts actually get worse, or just get out faster and sound more human?

You already know the answer.

Watching the Ed Sheeran tour situation unfold this week has been, professionally, painful.

Not because of the politics. Every artist, brand, and executive has to make their own call about when and how to engage on issues. Hint: working with your comms team will make it a lot easier.

What has been painful is watching a textbook crisis comms mistake play out in real time, at scale, in front of millions of people. And it is the same mistake I see B2B companies make constantly, just usually without the paparazzi.

Quick recap for anyone who missed it. Macklemore, one of Sheeran's opening acts, shouted "Free Palestine" onstage in New Jersey. Stadium owners objected. The tour promoter removed him. Sheeran's team issued a statement essentially saying "the promoter did it, not me." Within days, four supporting acts quit, including his backing band and Finneas. By the time Sheeran addressed the situation directly on stage in Philadelphia, the story had already been written for him.

Here is what went wrong from a pure crisis comms standpoint, and what every executive can learn from it:

🎯 He treated it as an operational event, not a business event. The PRIME crisis framework I use with every client starts here: the moment your response signals that the company (or artist) does not have control of the path forward, the vacuum gets filled by everyone else. "The promoter did it" is the corporate equivalent of "our vendor made that call." Stakeholders never accept it. Ever.

⏱️ The delay killed the response. Speed matters. Not because you need to say everything immediately, but because silence is itself a message. In the hours it took Sheeran's team to formulate a position, his own band was already drafting their exit statements.

🎤 The wrong spokesperson led. A statement from "the tour" was never going to work in a moment that clearly called for the artist himself. In B2B, this is the same mistake companies make when the comms team fronts a crisis that requires the CEO. Audiences read the org chart in the byline.

🧭 The eventual response was the one that should have led. When Sheeran finally spoke directly, personally, and with clear conviction he was just attempting to recover ground he never should have lost.

Here is the hard part every leader needs to sit with. Crises very rarely create reputation problems. They expose whether you built alignment, decision-making authority, and stakeholder trust before the pressure arrived. Sheeran's team did not build any of that fast enough. Most B2B companies I audit have not built it either.

A crisis, if treated strategically, can reinforce trust in a brand and build loyalty. When done wrong, it can destroy a brand overnight.
