Our guest today is Holly Chen, growth advisor and the former Global Head of Digital Marketing at Slack. Before that, she led growth for Google Store & Google B2B websites, served as a product manager at Gucci, and had a brief stint at the UN.

Iโ€™m excited for this interview because we look at one of the most admired brands of the last few years. We take a closer look at how they looked at mobile marketing while accounting for the numerous complexities of B2B marketing - including longer sales cycles, multiple touchpoints before sale. In the process of orienting their growth to mobile, they turned around a declining mobile growth trajectory - in what I find a very impressive effort.

Key Highlights:

๐Ÿง— How mobile fits into a B2B buyerโ€™s journey for Slack - and why itโ€™s challenging to measure.

๐Ÿ“‰ Why a decline in mobile growth in 2017 was puzzling for Slack - and how they realized this was an opportunity.

๐Ÿšถ The first steps Slack took toward capitalizing on the mobile opportunity - and the success metrics they picked.

๐Ÿ”— The interdependence of mobile and desktop products at Slack.

โฑ๏ธ How Slack attributed and measured the impact of the mobile marketing program.

๐Ÿ–๏ธ What multi-touch attribution is - and how Google Analytics can be a starting point for products that are considering adopting multi-touch attribution.

๐Ÿข The infrastructure needed to be in place for multi-touch attribution.

๐Ÿค” How Slackโ€™s teams thought about mitigating the risks of multi-touch attribution.

๐Ÿ‘จโ€๐Ÿ’ผ How Holly and her team approached getting executive support for the mobile marketing program.

๐Ÿ—“๏ธ Some of the day to day tactical elements that had to change as Slack oriented itself more toward mobile.

๐Ÿ”ฅ The impact of the shift toward mobile.
