    How Figma's CMO thinks about community as a channel

    In this episode, Sheila Vashee — CMO of Figma and a former marketing leader at Dropbox, Opendoor and Ethos — breaks down how Figma turned its community into its most powerful marketing channel. She argues that great marketing comes down to three things: understanding your audience deeply, finding the channels that uniquely reach them, and building systems to optimize those channels. Sheila explains why brand and performance aren't opposites, how she measures both across short and long time horizons, and shares the Opendoor experiment where a brand campaign doubled market share in three months. She also gets into where AI genuinely helps marketers (and where humans still set the bar), how Figma rebuilt customer support around AI, and why she spends 30–40% of her time hands-on with the latest tools. Along the way: the CEO as the 'real CMO,' Friends of Figma's 240+ volunteer chapters, and the brand she admires most outside tech.

    The Marketing Trap That Kills Growth

    In this episode of Brandformance, Pranav sits down with Vineet Mehra, Chief Growth Officer at Chime, to break down one of marketing’s biggest false choices: brand vs. performance. Vineet explains why the best modern marketers are no longer choosing between storytelling and direct response. Instead, they are building integrated growth systems where brand, product, analytics, media, engineering, and lifecycle teams all work toward one shared business outcome. The conversation explores Vineet’s idea of performance storytelling — combining the emotional power of brand-building with the economic discipline of direct response. He also explains the CAC Valley of Death, where companies exhaust existing demand, keep bidding on the same high-intent customers, and watch acquisition costs rise while growth slows down. Pranav and Vineet also dive into how AI is reshaping marketing teams, from bringing more creative work in-house to increasing experimentation velocity, improving lifecycle communications, using synthetic research, and moving beyond traditional A/B testing. For Vineet, this is not the end of marketing. It is the beginning of the golden age of marketing, where CMOs must become both growth architects and systems architects.
