Kevin Connor is the co-founder and principal of Modern SBC — a B2B brand building and marketing communications agency serving companies from $3 million to $40 million in revenue.
In this episode of Magic in the Cloud, he joins host Joe for a wide-ranging conversation about what branding actually means for small and mid-sized businesses, how to build client relationships that last decades, and why the soft skills no AI can replicate are still your biggest competitive advantage.
Kevin’s philosophy: every business has a brand by design or by default. Most small businesses are unknowingly choosing the latter — and Kevin has spent his career helping them fix that. From a dinner table that doubled as a business school growing up as one of seven kids, to a career-changing tape cassette from Earl Nightingale, to a 20-year friendship that started at a broken shoeshine machine — this is a conversation about showing up, communicating clearly, and playing the long game.
What You’ll Learn:
- Why every business has a brand by design or default — and why you can’t afford to ignore it
- The communication toolbox approach that helps B2B clients show up consistently across every channel
- Why the hardest thing to teach new clients isn’t about budget — it’s about changing behavior
- When to say no: why giving back a full retainer to protect your integrity is sometimes the right business decision
- How AI fits into B2B marketing right now — and why human communication will always matter more
- Why volunteering with young people is one of the most humbling and energizing things Kevin does
- The “make me the third call” philosophy — and why it’s become the foundation of Kevin’s personal brand
