Not sold on content marketing? Replace the word "content" with "customer education" Seems pretty important to have, doesn't it?

The challenges in content and software have never been more similar. - great writers and great engineers are 100x’ers. Bad ones are .1x’ers. - skill is a function of fundamentally better ideas, taste and coordination. - context engineering is what separates good from great AI workers - there’s an acceleration of supply, but way more slop than brilliance

90% of Product Marketing teams are tactical asset creators with no impact. Done right, PMM is a revenue-generating function—continuously unlocking new markets & growth. Why do so few deliver on the strategic promise of PMM? Here's the #1 reason PMM fails and how to avoid it:

I've been asking marketing leaders what efficient growth means to them. @Oli_G gave a simple but powerful formula. Let's break down the three components: [ 1 ] Customer Acquisiton Costs – How much does it cost for sales and marketing to close a deal? Bl…lnkd.in/gdyP-DB4

In the last 3 weeks it's become abundantly clear (to me) that content marketing will look a lot different with generative AI. But no one ~actually~ knows how this is going to play out. So rather than posture as an expert, I'd love to throw a few ideas ou…lnkd.in/g2NcwzQS

Whew — just wrapped our quarterly offsite at @mutinycorp I'm physically exhausted I'm mentally drained But my cup is filled I can't imagine working without these. We are building some *insanely* cool stuff this year (with a team I am blown away by).

Brand doesn't come from ads – Don Draper lied. It's the culmination of all touchpoints your company has. Start with customers, then prospects, then strangers. @mutinycorp's strong brand was one of the reasons I decided to join. @jalehr shares how she built it from day 1
Everyone assumes I'm a quant marketer b/c I studied engineering. Sure, I can do math. But brand is what drew me to marketing. Apple taught us that good brands create moats. But most CEOs don't know that it also lowers CAC. Here are my lessons building Gusto & Mutiny's brands:

Some of your customer segments may no longer have the purchasing authority they did last year. This thread shares how to quickly gather data to validate how your marketing needs to pivot in 2023. We're using this exact formula at @mutinycorp to pivot our GTM motion in 2023.
2023 is a different world for B2B tech. Every CEO I've talked to is rethinking some aspect of their growth strategy - from buyer segments to sales motion to pricing. But most are flying blind. Here's how to use real-time data to make the right decisions way faster:

Was really insightful hearing from all these leaders about what they expect marketing to deliver in 2023
What exactly is expected from marketing in 2023? We asked a dozen CEOs, CMOs, and board members this question to get a picture of how marketers need to be thinking and acting in 2023. Hint: it looks a lot different than 2022 mutinyhq.com/blog/2023

I've already learned so much from Kevin, and I don't even get to work with him all that often!
Timing is everything. I ran a 100-person product team at Square and believe fintech was the best place to be in the last decade. When I decided to leave, I evaluated 20+ industries. To my surprise, I landed in martech. Here's why martech is about to have its "fintech moment":

I'm pumped to share we've acquired Intellipse, an AI marketing platform. 20 years ago, the internet shifted growth from offline to a trillion dollar online ecosystem. We believe AI will cause a similar platform change. Here's how we think AI impacts this next era for growth:

For those wanting to run a fun and productive offsite, I can 100% vouch for this playbook:
I used to believe that you could only build a successful company in person. The first 6 months of remote were so hard that I thought our company might fail. Now we're 100% remote & I can't imagine ever going back. The big unlock? A new operating rhythm. Let's break it down.

As head of marketing at Gusto I shifted us from "growth at all costs" to profitable growth. ARR grew 100x in 4 yrs while CAC <12 mos. Now every company is asked to do the same. I shared how we did it in a recent talk to @ycombinator & @sequoia founders. Here's the summary:
