    Artificial Intelligence: How is it transforming the future of digital marketing? (Rerun)

    Our audio content manager, Daren Lake, sublimely curates an audio-candy episode with a teleportation back in history and a few one-on-ones with Metigy's founders. This episode is meant to be consumed with headphones on so we encourage that you plug in and enjoy all in the hopes of understand Metigy, SMEs, marketing and the potential for your own business’ future.   In this episode you will learn: The growing population of SMEsThe history of problems and solutions (that all relate back to business and marketing)Metigy’s technology explained in a simple analogyHow to solve problems for your customersStopping the SME superhero syndromeArtificial intelligence explained through InstagramWhat Product Market Fit isPredictions on marketing, artificial intelligence and SMEsAnd More  Quotes Daren On Artificial Intelligence explained simply: [00:15:40] “Artificial intelligence while scary isn't as much about a Terminator future but more about a future that we are already living.” [00:15:51] The maps app or chess game that you use on your smart phone is specific artificial intelligence. The Facebook and Instagram algorithms that you use right now are all based on machine learning from human inputs to then execute different outcomes.Daren on Product Market Fit (PMF): “But finding PMF is When you made something that people want.. Your customers, clients or users just want to  tell other people to use your product (without any incentive).”David Fairfull on Metigy App tech stack: [00:14:51] “How many different technologies do we use to help us do the marketing function? We don't have them connected, right? The proposition is the need to finally have one true source of all data and could make a great decision.” “Technology is not being there to harness the value of that data. It (currently) comes back to humans interpreting that. AI is a fantastic application in this environment to process that data once it's all connected and distill it down to the thing you should do today.”Johnson Lin on getting to PMF faster and failing fast: [00:20:02] “I can see two directions of how to get us there faster. One is by faster iteration cycle time. How can you do more laps? You run faster. So put that into our perspective. Does that mean we make people look faster or work harder? No, the approach you will want to be taking is earlier validation and fail faster and we can go to the next iteration if the previous one is not working.” Daren’s Summary on JL’s angle on failing:  “Fail Fast. Don't run and work harder. Fail faster and learn in the early stages”Brendan rocket ship [00:21:04] I definitely hopped on the rocket ship in late 2018 and, you know, talking to David and Johnson,  they just had a really massive vision. And it was something that you really wanted to be a part of. You know, they told the vision of Metigy with so much gravitas, really that.Brendan on superhero syndrome: [00:14:00] “I wanted to do the accounting, the marketing, I wanted to do the customer support… But there's only 24 hours in a day. Unless you're Elon Musk. He seems to find a lot more hours in the day somehow. So for average, normal, small business owners, time pressure is a real thing.”Thiago Zandonai on what Metigy does:  “You connect your social channels in Metigy and we start giving you insights and recommendations to grow your business. So you just connect them and boom, you're done.”

    What the smartest marketing scientist Mike Sagar thinks about customer success, data and more (Rerun)

    When Brendan met Mike at the time in a startup advisory board, he soon learnt that Mike cofounded the successful vet startup, Pawsum, and led as vice president of global customer success at Siteminder, one of Australia’s fastest growing startups. The lessons learnt from Mike’s extensive experience through the startup life, starting from the US and now in Australia, will teach you the connection between data and marketing strategy, what customer success looks like and why you need to connect your CRM and marketing automation tools as soon as you kick off your business.   Additionally, Mike also shared the story of the similarities between coaching his son’s football team and coaching his marketing team. Let’s delve into it!   What you will learn in this episode Why data is so important for your businessHow gamification can lead to data capture opportunitiesMike’s definition of customer successConnecting the data with your marketing strategyMake sure that your applications, front end systems, CRM and marketing automation tools are connected straight out of the gate.Why progressive profiling can get the right information at the right time from your customersWhy you need to invest in business intelligenceSimilarities between coaching a football team and coaching a marketing teamWhen expanding your business into new international markets > always read history books for that region.  Resources mentioned PawssumSiteminder 90% of the world’s data was created in the last two years.TableauStripeAirpodsAtlassian  Book Recommendations Shogun by James Clavell  What business would you build on Mars? It kind of goes back to the fact that our society now is so much built on growth, and we talk about GDP, and there's nothing around climate change, and all the things that are basically we're not exactly doing very right by the world at the moment. So, you go to a new world, fundamentally shift. I like to see a blend of the communal sharing of a company as opposed to just the fact that it's sheer growth, and there's a few people at the top. So, there was a company out of the US. I think it's Chobani. It's a yogurt brand. Once they went public, they shared with every single employee, they all became big shareholders in the company. So, if I go to Mars, I would literally probably do something around mining and terraforming. But every person involved would have a huge share of that company because if you could reset what accompany means, I would completely reset it to where everyone's got to share, we grow, but it's a completely different mindset.   Reach Mike here: Mike on LinkedIn  To see the full episode transcript and get a listener exclusive 3 month free trial of Metigy, visit metigy.com
