How I Made it in Marketing Not Enough Lobster In The Ocean: Trusting their gut leads to 90,000% revenue growth at Mint Mobile (Episode #11)
“We run the scientific method. Hypothesis. Experimentation. Observation. Analysis. Optimization,” Aron North told Daniel Burstein in our latest podcast episode. Great minds think alike. North’s approach is almost identical to Step #6 of the Landing Page Blueprint (https://meclabs.com/course/blueprint/).
Listen now to hear Aron North, Chief Marketing Officer and Commercial Owner, Mint Mobile (https://www.mintmobile.com/), discuss allowing for failure (when you follow the scientific method), trusting your gut, conducting a job interview with every single person coming into the marketing department, and more.
Some ideas from the stories North told in this episode:
– If you aren’t failing, then you aren’t trying hard enough
– Trust your gut
– Creative > Production
– All great creative begins with a strong consumer insight
– F.B.N.A (Free Beer No Assholes)
– Fastertizing
