Gain insights on leveraging technology like Gen AI and Smartsheet for enhanced marketing efficiency and execution.

Key Takeaways

Embrace data-driven decision-making in marketing. Investigate and understand the entire business metrics, not just those directly tied to marketing. Be curious and hypothesis-driven. Conduct experiments, like tweaking ad spends or marketing strategies, and meticulously track their downstream impact. This Moneyball marketing means seeing the big picture and connecting the dots between actions and outcomes across the company. It’s about incremental growth and constant adjustment.
Focus on business-to-person marketing, especially in B2B marketing. B2B marketing is essentially business-to-person marketing. Consider the entire group of people involved in a purchase decision, not just the direct buyer. This includes influencers at various levels, like practitioners, security personnel, procurement, and leadership. Recognizing the human element in B2B transactions is crucial, and adopting a groundswell approach at the user level can significantly influence enterprise-level purchasing decisions.
Leverage technology and tools for enhanced marketing efficiency. Make the most of cutting-edge tools for endless ROI opportunities and Gen AI for content creation starters. Utilize operational management tools like Smartsheet to streamline team processes and Slack for essential communication. These tools not only enhance efficiency but also provide valuable insights and aid in executing complex marketing strategies more effectively.
