Deep dives
Focusing on Impactful Results
It is crucial to prioritize work that can drive significant impact rather than engaging in random acts of marketing. Emily Kramer emphasizes the importance of saying no to requests that do not align with overarching goals and avoiding blindly copying tactics used by other companies.
Avoiding Random Acts of Testing
In testing initiatives, it is essential to have a purpose behind each test. Avoid engaging in random acts of testing, akin to the idea of testing a weather widget without a clear rationale backed by data. Focus on meaningful testing that aligns with your objectives and brings value to your marketing efforts.
Standing Out with Purposeful Marketing
Emphasizing the significance of standing out in marketing efforts, the discussion reflects on the potency of purpose-driven marketing strategies. It is essential to create memorable and impactful campaigns that resonate with the audience, setting your brand apart from the crowded space of typical, lackluster marketing approaches.
Building Trust Through Transparent Collaboration
In fostering relationships within marketing teams, building trust through transparency and collaboration is vital for success. Open communication, proactive sharing of insights and data, and working together to create and test ideas can strengthen the bond between Growth Marketers and CROs, leading to more productive and impactful marketing endeavors.
Are CROs secretly just growth marketers? Maybe... but how do they work better with growth marketers? Shiva decided to understand this better by talking to marketing expert, and head of Demand Gen at Chili Piper, Tara "Ice Spice" Robertson.
In this episode, we discuss some pretty tactical activities on what makes Growth Marketers tick, and what things they care about (or don't care about). In addition, we look at things that are important to them, and how CROs can work better to solve their problems and create lasting, and fruitful, relationships with demand gen marketers. Plus, Tara shares maybe the worst test idea Shiva's ever heard of.
