Our mission is to rocket retention. We believe this is only possible when subscription leaders and their teams are healthily obsessed about creating a must have service for their customers.
Substribe is the intersection of the deep experience of the founders, the b2b customers they interview and the subscription network they developed over an intense five year chapter. More than 2000 intensive days, 500+ voice of customer discussions, and finding cut through for 50+ brands across the world and markets have contributed to the model and frameworks Substribe use to unlock b2b subscription growth.
One day, there will be a Chief Subscription Officer. In the meantime, Substribe serves subscription leaders who accept the importance of bringing the outside in, to share knowledge and innovation.
Substribe was founded by Steve Budd and Andy Burden. We earned our stripes in b2b subscription companies including senior roles at Datamonitor, Informa, and Emap. What binds us is our quest to discover better practises for subscription success and our passion for driving meaningful outcomes for our clients and their customers.
We met whilst partnering on a subscription transformation success story – Procurement Leaders. To succeed, we know it is critical to unify cross functional teams, to discover what the customers of b2b services need to make them more successful, and learn from pitfalls and successes with other subscription leaders. So we created the place for this to happen, focusing and energising subscription leaders to better serve their customers and boost performance.
Steve’s experience ranges across b2b media with senior marketing & product roles at Emap, Incisive, Wilmington and Procurement Leaders. Steve is the founder of AI Pathfinder. Learn more and connect with Steve on LinkedIn.
Andy’s experience is from the b2b information space with senior commercial and corporate roles at Datamonitor and Informa, before moving to the intelligence network at Procurement Leaders. Learn more and connect with Andy on LinkedIn.
