Dan joins Host Chris Mechanic for an awesome conversation that explores how to build an experiment-driven culture, how to embrace needing to do more with less, and the power that well-crafted narratives have in telling great stories through a company’s marketing.
Takeaways:
- There are three key elements to building an experiment-driven culture: 1. You must test REGULARLY and CONTINUOUSLY; 2. Be STRUCTURED about your testing; 3. Make sure that all experiments build creating a broader, more cohesive strategy.
- Companies usually have a lot of user data that is hardly analyzed and utilized. Leveraging this information can provide significant insights into customer behavior which can aid in experimentation and decision making.
- Failed experiments are as valuable as successful ones, if not more. They provide insights into what doesn’t work which is equally important in marketing decision making.
- For software companies, it is imperative to improve the customer experience by providing more self-service options and making comprehensive customer data more accessible to customers.
- Using well-crafted narratives is key to creating powerful marketing. Effectively told stories can deepen customer relationships and enhance the branding of an organization.
- While it’s easy to cringe upon hearing the common edict of “do more with less”, it’s better to embrace that idea as a challenge for you and your team. Particularly within startups, marketers need to capitalize on efficiency. This takes both a strategic and methodical approach to resource allocation.
