This episode features an interview with Armen Najarian, CMO at Sift, an AI-powered fraud platform delivering identity trust for leading global businesses.
Armen has 10 years of experience as a CMO across a variety of fraud prevention, digital identity, and cybersecurity organizations. He discusses how word of mouth and a strong brand has allowed them to become a leader in their space and also gives insight into Sift’s top source for demand generation.
Key Takeaways:
- It is riskier not to take risks. Marketers need to be willing to try something unconventional. If it fails, the world goes on.
- Giving your customers access to your data, if it answers important questions for them, can be a key driver of demand.
- Understand what your customers are curious about and what questions they are asking. If you can find a way to provide answers, the ROI will be significant.
Quote:
- ”Those that aren't taking risks are the ones taking risks, is the way I would look at this. Like we have to take risks -you know, it's gotten so noisy and some of the tried and true tactics like organic search, right, which is completely flipped on its head right now. Every CMO has a responsibility, anyone in marketing really, has a responsibility to really rethink the logic for what they're doing and take some risks.”
