We’ve trained an entire generation of marketers to not really grasp marketing fundamentals, consumer psychology attributes, things that are actionable in marketing — and instead to just get really good at leveraging platforms and softwares.

Jason Wood — CEO of Specificity — joins Connor to discuss the critical need for a deeper understanding of marketing fundamentals and consumer psychology. Learn about Jason’s innovative approach to data-driven marketing that dramatically enhances ad spend efficiency and conversion rates, marking a significant shift in audience-targeting strategies.

Key Takeaways

Shift digital marketing away from Big Tech. It’s time to move the focus of digital marketing away from Big Tech’s broad audience identification methods. There’s no room for the generic one-size-fits-all messaging we see prevalent in Big Tech platforms. Instead, refresh marketing fundamentals and consumer psychology to significantly improve ROI and achieve more targeted advertising.
Go deep and get specific with data utilization. In your marketing efforts, prioritize specific, relevant data points over generic data. For example, in industries like window sales, use specific data like home equity to accurately target customers. Why? Because data specificity means more effective targeting, reduced ad spend waste, and notably higher conversion rates.
Challenge the status quo with meaningful innovation.. Continuously push the boundaries of conventional marketing methods and embrace adaptations. Explore and test new technologies and trends that align with a data-driven marketing approach. New tools like AI are invaluable when they fit into a strategy focused on precise data utilization, offering breakthrough ideas and new competitive advantages.
