Quotes:

(12:56-13:14) “I think some product teams are a bit scared of tapping into the potential of in-app messaging because they are so kind of intrusive, basically. You need to deploy them with care and make sure you’re not overusing them because you’re overriding the user’s normal interaction with the app. Now, that can be very powerful as well. You can direct them to features they’ve never seen before.”

(26:01-26:18) “This is the decision which I’ve written about that I call ‘scale, iterate, or kill.’ It’s like this is the one decision in which a growth marketer and a growth marketing team need to make very regularly; and they’ll only get better at it by making that decision many times, sometimes getting it wrong.”
