    Scaling B2B Marketing Strategies at Global Brands | Michelle Lisowski (Uber, Google, Kabbage)

    “B2B marketing is really human-to-human marketing. Don’t just talk to companies; connect with the people running the show.” Michelle Lisowski, Senior Director of Global B2B and Partnership Marketing at Uber, joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to explore the art of balancing strategy with scrappy execution, fostering emotionally intelligent teams, and scaling B2B marketing efforts globally. From cultivating a “see the forest through the trees” perspective to building team cultures where mistakes are embraced as learning opportunities, Michelle offers actionable insights for leaders navigating the demands of high-stakes marketing environments. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Emotional intelligence isn’t just about being a great leader—it’s the secret sauce for better marketing. After all, B2B campaigns need to speak to human decision-makers, not just companies. Not all challenges are created equal. Learn how to differentiate between productive challenges that grow your career (good pain) and burnout that hinders progress (bad pain). Building trust and psychological safety in teams allows for faster iteration, better execution, and sustainable high performance. Scaling a global brand isn’t about reinventing the wheel for every market. It’s about knowing when to adapt locally and when to lean on universal truths. Want to lead like a pro? Hire people who are better than you. The strongest teams are the ones that can thrive without constant oversight. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Michelle Lisowski’s career 01:22 Balancing scrappiness with strategic planning 05:43 The dangers of perfectionism and the value of collaboration 10:07 Fostering psychological safety in teams 15:18 Good pain vs. bad pain: knowing your limits 20:47 Scaling global marketing while adapting locally 25:12 Data-driven decisions vs. gut instinct in leadership 30:05 Michelle’s advice for aspiring B2B leaders 35:09 The power of hiring exceptional talent   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Uber for Business: https://www.uber.com/us/en/business/ Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/ Kabbage: http://www.kabbage.com/   🤝Connect with Right Side Up Right Side Up is a premium growth marketing agency that has helped more than 1,000+ companies hit their growth goals.

    Redefining Retail through Customer Loyalty, Brand Authenticity, and Emerging Trends | Sarah Crockett (DSW, Burton, Dickies)

    “Great brands, like great friends, are authentic and dependable—they stay true to themselves no matter what.” Sarah Crockett, Chief Marketing Officer at DSW, joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to discuss how staying true to a brand’s core identity is the secret to navigating cultural shifts and customer expectations. In this episode, Sarah shares how her experiences with iconic brands like Burton, Dickies, and Backcountry shaped her perspective on balancing legacy with innovation. She discusses the power of customer insights in shaping marketing strategy, how loyalty programs can drive long-term value, and why brick-and-mortar stores are more than just retail spaces—they’re powerful brand-building tools. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Flash sales are enticing, but long-term loyalty programs deliver sustainable results and build trust. Ditch quick wins for customer loyalty.  Cultural alignment is key. Customers can spot when a brand “chases” trends without staying true to its core. Retail is actually a marketing channel. Brick-and-mortar experiences create unmatched dwell time and brand engagement. Don’t underestimate the in-person experience! Adapt by listening to customer needs and pivot your strategy for sustained relevance. Internal culture drives external impact. When you build a passionate, empowered internal team it fuels better customer experiences. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Sarah Crockett’s career 01:15 Balancing brand evolution with legacy 04:00 The role of authenticity in brand marketing 06:45 Dickies x Sydney Sweeney: When culture meets core values 09:30 Navigating trends without losing your brand’s identity 12:45 Measuring success in loyalty programs 15:30 Evolving the DSW customer experience 20:00 The power of retail as a brand marketing channel 22:15 Internal culture and employee buy-in as growth drivers 25:00 The future of retail and omnichannel strategies 30:00 Sarah’s advice for aspiring marketing leaders 35:00 Closing thoughts on authenticity and growth   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: DSW: www.dsw.com Burton: www.burton.com Dickies: www.dickies.com Backcountry: www.backcountry.com Force of Nature Campaign: www.rei.com/h/force-of-nature 👍Did you enjoy this video?

    Building Brand Loyalty in D2C Marketing | Preston Rutherford (Chubbies, Loop Returns, Marathon Data)

    “Often, brands forget that they’re not just speaking to ‘customers’—they’re talking to real people, like their own friends.”  Preston Rutherford, co-founder of Chubbies and Loop Returns joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to share how his journey from tech startups to building a standout D2C brand was driven by a deep focus on authenticity and community. In this episode, Preston explores the balancing act between brand-building and immediate sales goals, how humor and relatability helped Chubbies cut through the “sea of sameness,” and why creating memorable customer experiences is crucial for long-term loyalty. Now with Marathon Data, he’s helping brands leverage data to better understand their audience while keeping that personal connection front and center.   🗝️ Key Takeaways: Building real connections with your audience is essential; when you treat customers like friends and keep interactions genuine, that authenticity keeps people coming back. While long-term trust drives loyalty, it’s also important to balance brand-building with immediate sales goals so you’re not losing sight of those critical targets. Consistency is key—when customers see the same vibe across your platforms, they recognize your brand and build trust over time. Challenges are opportunities in disguise. Embrace setbacks as a way to fuel new ideas, opening doors you might not have considered before. Look beyond just the numbers and dig into what the data reveals about the customer experience. Creating a real connection goes deeper than metrics alone.   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Preston Rutherford’s background and pivot from tech to D2C 04:15 Chubbies’ early challenges and lessons learned from failure 07:45 Founding Loop Returns to solve ecommerce pain points 11:50 Building a memorable brand in a crowded D2C space 15:30 Why humor and authenticity are essential to brand identity 19:30 Creating lasting relationships through community over transactions 23:15 Balancing brand trust with short-term growth goals 30:00 Preston’s tips on building brand resilience for the long term 36:00 Final thoughts and advice for future founders   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Chubbies: www.chubbiesshorts.com Loop Returns: www.loopreturns.com Marathon Data: www.marathondataco.com   🤝Connect with Right Side Up Right Side Up is a premium growth marketing agency that has helped more than 1,000+ companies hit their growth goals.

    Mastering Brand and Demand Gen in B2B Marketing | Jason Ing (Gusto, AWS, P&G)

    ► About this Video Jason Ing, Chief Marketing Officer at Gusto, joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to share his journey from B2C marketing with global tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon to leading B2B marketing strategies at Gusto. He explores the balance between brand and demand generation and highlights how storytelling and emotion shape decision-making in the B2B space. Jason also offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Gusto builds trust and brand consistency while providing HR and payroll services to small and medium-sized businesses. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Start with demand gen marketing to find those short term wins. Then once you’ve mastered product market fit, move onto brand marketing for your long term growth.  When making decisions on where to put your marketing dollars, make sure the ‘feels right’ doesn’t exceed 15-20%—and be sure to keep tabs on paid performance trends at all stages of the funnel after you layer in brand spend.  Creative consistency builds trust AND recall. Be sure to be solid in your “why,” and make sure that everything from ads to customer support align behind that vision. The best B2B marketing creative is based in storytelling. Find a way to blend the emotional and rational.  Qualitative insights go beyond metrics. Listening to customers reveals opportunities that data alone can’t—like the potential impact of placing the niche ad in front of the right audience at the perfect time.

    Scaling Growth in the Complex World of Fintech | Simon Vishnevskiy (Credit Genie, Dave, Lyft)

    In this episode of Growth Talks, Simon Vishnevskiy, Chief Growth Officer at Credit Genie, sits down with Krystina Rubino to share his experiences and strategies in growth marketing for fintech. With a background that spans gaming, ridesharing, and finance, Simon dives into the unique challenges of marketing within a highly regulated and competitive space.  He discusses the parallels between marketing and gaming, the importance of cross-functional collaboration between product, compliance, and marketing, and the best way  to effectively reach underserved audiences. Simon also explores how to build a strong acquisition strategy from scratch and scale it efficiently over time. 🗝️Key Takeaways: Unlike other industries where a playbook may work long-term, fintech demands continuous reevaluation and dynamic strategies due to changing regulations and customer behaviors. In a highly regulated industry, collaborating closely with your compliance team ensures you can get creative with messaging while avoiding legal issues. Paying attention to product changes may explain swings in KPIs.  Starting with digital channels like TikTok, Meta, and Google is key but, as fintech brands mature, investing in offline channels like podcasts, TV, and radio is crucial for establishing brand equity and trust. To build an effective growth engine, Simon always evaluates 4 key things: tracking and attribution, data analytics, creative output, and lifecycle marketing as key pillars of an effective growth engine. “Day trading,” or short-term optimizations in channel spend, can help maintain an efficient acquisition strategy, while building foundational team roles in MarTech, data analytics, creative, and lifecycle marketing ensure sustainable growth. Leverage platforms like TikTok and DSPs to create ads and videos specifically optimized for their formats, boosting performance without hefty creative costs.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction to Simon Vishnevskiy 00:04:10 Unique challenges in fintech 00:06:56 Creating a collaborative playbook with product and legal teams 00:13:02 Targeting underserved audiences in fintech 00:16:42 How marketing strategies and channels evolve as fintech brands mature 00:24:00 A/B Test Segment 00:32:54 Managing CAC while scaling acquisition efforts 00:38:12 Key roles to prioritize when building a user acquisition team 00:41:21 Simon's favorite "growth non-hack"   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Credit Genie: www.creditgenie.com Dave: www.dave.com Chime: www.chime.com MoneyLion: www.moneylion.com Coinbase: www.coinbase.com Robinhood: www.robinhood.com   🤝Connect with Right Side Up Right Side Up is a premium growth marketing agency that has helped more than 1,000+ companies hit their growth goals.

    Building a High Performing Marketing Team | Tyler Elliston (Right Side Up, Eventbrite)

    "Curiosity paired with tenacity is a killer combination." Tyler Elliston, the founder of Right Side Up, discusses the ins and outs of marketing leadership and the nuances of building effective marketing teams.  From early-stage startups to late-stage enterprises, Tyler shares insights on the unique challenges and strategies for success at each level. The conversation covers everything from building a marketing team from scratch to balancing in-house talent with external resources like consultants and agencies. 🗝️Key Takeaways: The shift from generalists to specialists is a natural progression as companies grow. Early-stage companies often need versatile employees who can handle multiple tasks, while later-stage companies benefit from specialists in specific channels. Beyond skills and experience, intangibles like curiosity and tenacity are often the differentiators that separate good hires from truly exceptional ones.  The use of Google and Facebook as customer acquisition channels varies at different stages: early-stage companies use them to gather product feedback and refine product-market fit, mid-stage growth companies use them to drive efficient customer acquisition at scale, while enterprise companies focus on incremental optimizations like reducing CAC and increasing volume. External resources, such as freelancers, are becoming increasingly critical for companies that need specialization or want to test new tactics without committing to full-time hires. Aligning on metrics and trusting team members are key to overcoming friction between marketing, product, and sales. Offering flexibility is crucial to attract top-tier talent, especially in a post-pandemic world, where work-life balance and autonomy are highly valued. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Tyler Elliston, Founder of Right Side Up 01:44 Building a marketing team from scratch 04:52 Intangibles of great talent: passion, curiosity, tenacity 11:32 Balancing autonomy and accountability 18:07 When to use consultants, agencies, or in-house talent 24:04 Challenges in cross-functional collaboration 31:16 Lessons from high-growth startups vs. enterprises 35:39 Why Tyler founded Right Side Up 44:12 Tyler’s favorite growth non-hack 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Right Side Up: www.rightsideup.com Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.com Equifax: www.equifax.com

    Brand Marketing Beyond a Logo | Chiyong Jones (Kajabi, Personal AI, GoodRx)

    In this episode of Growth Talks, Chiyong Jones, the VP of Brand Marketing at Kajabi, discusses his approach to building and evolving brand identities for startups and established companies alike.  To build a brand identity that lasts, it’s incredibly important to understand the customer, create a cohesive brand system that remains flexible, and balance creativity with constraints like budget and team size. Chiyong also explores the role of brand in long-term business success, the value of authenticity in influencer partnerships, and the importance of consistency in brand messaging.   🗝️Key Takeaways: When building a brand, it’s incredibly important to have a deep understanding of the customer, their needs, and how the brand is currently resonating with them. This insight informs all subsequent brand decisions and helps ensure that messaging is on target and effective. While consistency in brand messaging and visuals is key to building brand equity, you need to maintain flexibility across different platforms and touchpoints.  Constraints like budget, team size, or time, can actually lead to more creative solutions by forcing teams to focus on what’s truly important and feasible. Brand and growth marketing are complementary strategies, with brand building long-term trust and awareness, while growth marketing drives immediate conversions. The most effective partnerships are ones where creators genuinely align with the brand. Authenticity in these partnerships leads to more meaningful connections with audiences, which is more valuable than just reaching a large number of people. Humor is an underutilized tool in brand communication. When used effectively, it can disarm audiences, make the brand more memorable, and foster a positive emotional connection.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Chiyong Jones 01:56 Key Steps in Brand Development 03:14 Establishing Brand Identity 06:46 Challenges in Creative Functions 09:49 Testing and Iteration in Branding 15:29 Brand Evolution and Redesign 23:33 Challenges in Measuring Brand Impact 24:15 Tracking Brand Health: Surveys and Signals 27:33 Fun Marketing Game: The AB Test 32:15 Marketing to the Creator Economy 35:45 The Value of Authentic Creator Partnerships 42:03 The Power of Humor in Marketing 43:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Kajabi: https://www.kajabi.com Personal AI: https://www.personal.ai GoodRx: https://www.goodrx.com Honey: https://www.joinhoney.com

    Scaling Offline Marketing Channels | Ty Conner (Rocket Money)

    In this episode of Growth Talks, Krystina Rubino interviews Ty Conner, the Senior Director of Growth Marketing Offline at Rocket Money. Ty shares his journey from being a geologist in remote Alaska to becoming a key player in Rocket Money's marketing team. He discusses the foundational decisions and strategies that have propelled Rocket Money to the top of the app store charts, including their rebrand from Truebill.   Ty discusses the importance of data-driven decision-making, explaining how Rocket Money leverages data and utilizes robust measurement techniques such as geo holdout tests and media mix models to scale offline channels like linear TV and out-of-home. Ty offers insights into the balance between digital and offline marketing and the future impact of privacy changes on measurement and strategy.   🗝️Key Takeaways: Utilizing multiple measurement methods, such as surveys and media mix models, can help triangulate data and provide a clearer picture of channel performance. These methods are also crucial in navigating upcoming privacy changes. For out-of-home advertising, prioritizing high dwell time, such as subway ads, can lead to better engagement and more efficient spend due to longer exposure times. A successful marketing team should consist of individuals who are highly curious, data literate, and competitive, ensuring they continually strive for better performance. Brands should focus on optimizing and scaling their core channels before exploring new ones, as there is often untapped potential in existing channels.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to foundational decisions for scaling 00:34 Importance of data-driven decisions and high data literacy 02:34 Navigating offline channels and measurement challenges 05:00 Ty's career transition from geologist to marketer 08:00 Launching and prioritizing offline channels 10:16 Embracing successful tests, even with 0% ROAS 12:00 Handling digital vs. offline channel diversification 15:00 Overcoming streaming TV measurement challenges 20:00 Cracking out-of-home for growth marketing 22:00 Balancing high traffic and targeted areas in out-of-home advertising 25:00 Using geo holdout tests and media mix models for measurement 30:00 Privacy-resilient measurement methods 32:00 The future impact of privacy changes on offline marketing 35:00 Balancing offline and digital marketing strategies 37:00 Building a strong marketing team with curiosity and competitiveness 40:00 Ty's growth non-hack: improving core channels over testing new ones   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Rocket Money: www.rocketmoney.com Haus: www.haus.io Recast: www.recast.com
