    Subverting the Ordinary: Building High-Love, High-Respect Brands with Hattie Moll, CMO of Prosper

    How can humor and smart marketing strategies transform financial services and improve retirement outcomes? In this episode, we’re joined by Hattie Moll, Chief Marketing Officer at Prosper, as she shares valuable insights from her career in marketing. Hattie discusses the power of creating engaging, humorous content that captures attention—even in industries like financial services, where the stakes are high. She highlights successful brands that have used humor and smart positioning to stand out, and dives into how Prosper is reshaping the financial landscape with affordable investment opportunities and strategic partnerships to help people achieve better retirement outcomes. Plus, Hattie gives us a glimpse into Prosper’s future plans, including how they’re leveraging AI to innovate in marketing and enhance their brand presence.    Takeaways: Embrace a B2C mindset in B2B: Treat your business communications like you are interacting directly with another person. This approach can make your brand more relatable and engaging. Invest in Brand Identity: Just because your company is B2B doesn't mean it can't have a strong, appealing brand identity. Use creative elements like mascots or icons to make your brand stand out. Utilize Creative Characters: Characters can bring your brand to life and make it memorable. They also help in building an emotional connection with your audience. Maintain Consistency: Ensure that your creative elements and brand messaging are consistent across all platforms and interactions to build a coherent and strong brand image. Make it Fun: Don't shy away from bringing a sense of fun and innovation into your business communications. A brand that can entertain while delivering its message tends to retain its audience better. Humanize Communication: Always remember that at the heart of B2B is human-to-human interaction. Reflect this in your communications by being authentic and personable. Permission to Innovate: Feel confident in breaking the mold and trying out new ideas. Innovating with brand elements can set you apart in the marketplace.   Quote of the Show: “I love data and I love understanding what's working, what isn't – but I also love ignoring it sometimes.” - Hattie Moll    Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hattie-moll-78352616/  Website: www.prosper.co.uk   Shoutouts: Salesforce: https://www.salesforce.com/ Who Gives a Crap: https://us.whogivesacrap.org/ Tony’s Chocoloney: https://us.tonyschocolonely.com/ ClickUp: https://youtu.be/PxarYPTICVc?si=a_8LsrEoovUpyZhF Lush: https://www.lush.com/uk/en    Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7334aa0c-702a-47aa-8c55-760fa2cf4dda/the-revenue-driven-cmo  Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-revenue-driven-cmo/id1444680950    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1OCuYchAG8TlGv82YARRhy?si=60a093a194c64c17  iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-the-revenue-driven-cmo-99614345/  Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-revenue-driven-cmo-chris-mechanic-rdU1oESluqs/   The Revenue-Driven CMO is sponsored by WebMechanix, the performance marketing agency that makes you smarter.

  2. Asymmetrical Marketing: Leveraging Low-Risk, High-Reward Strategies for Explosive Growth with Gabriel Falcione

    Asymmetrical Marketing: Leveraging Low-Risk, High-Reward Strategies for Explosive Growth with Gabriel Falcione

    In this episode, we explore the nuances of giving and receiving feedback across cultures and the impact it has on global teams and GTM (Go-to-Market) strategies. Our guest shares insights from personal experiences working in Brazil, Europe, and beyond, highlighting how different regions handle feedback—from the direct and candid style of Germany and France to the more measured, empathetic approach in Brazil. The conversation delves into finding a balance that respects diverse cultural norms while fostering honesty and efficiency in the workplace.  Takeaways: Career transitions can fuel innovative perspectives: Starting in journalism provides valuable storytelling and analytical skills that can enhance marketing strategies.  Asymmetrical returns in marketing: Pursuing opportunities where potential returns far exceed the risks involved. Examples of asymmetrical strategies: Performance marketing through Google Ads and LinkedIn, where risks are limited to time or budget, but returns can be substantial.  Redefining conventional marketing practices: Trade fairs and other high-risk, low-reward channels may not be the best investments for companies looking to grow.  Cultural Perceptions of Feedback: The Brazilian way of providing feedback often focuses on cushioning critiques, contrasting with the blunt delivery common in European cultures.   Challenges in Multicultural Work Environments: Managing feedback in global companies requires a nuanced approach to ensure that cultural expectations are met while maintaining trust and transparency. Navigating Cultural Differences: While European teams might perceive Brazilian feedback as indirect or lacking honesty, Brazilians may find European feedback too harsh. Balancing Respect and Clarity: Striking a “sweet spot” is essential to make sure all team members feel their cultural background is respected without sacrificing performance. Feedback and Trust: Different perceptions of feedback can lead to misunderstandings—e.g., teams feeling feedback is insincere or slow when given in a more indirect style. Quote of the Show: “When you ignore the cultural aspects underneath a global GTM strategy, it can blow up in your face very easily.” - Gabriel Falcione Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/gabrielfalcione/ Website: https://vtex.com/en-us/ Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7334aa0c-702a-47aa-8c55-760fa2cf4dda/the-revenue-driven-cmo  Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-revenue-driven-cmo/id1444680950    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1OCuYchAG8TlGv82YARRhy?si=60a093a194c64c17  iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-the-revenue-driven-cmo-99614345/  Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-revenue-driven-cmo-chris-mechanic-rdU1oESluqs/   The Revenue-Driven CMO is sponsored by WebMechanix, the performance marketing agency that makes you smarter.

    In this exciting episode of the Revenue Driven CMO Podcast, Chris Mechanic takes listeners on a crash course in the world of AI agents. With the rapid growth of AI technology, we’re transitioning from AI 1.0 (chatbots and simple automations) to AI 2.0, where AI agents can handle complex tasks autonomously. Chris explores how these agents can revolutionize industries, from automating content creation to transforming customer service with voice AI agents. He also showcases a live demo of AI in action—showing the future of how businesses will interact with customers.   Takeaways: AI 1.0 vs. AI 2.0: AI is evolving from chatbots to full-fledged agents capable of executing multi-step tasks autonomously, eliminating manual processes for businesses. What AI Agents Do: These agents can automate complex tasks like writing blog posts, scheduling meetings, and even interacting with customers. The real promise? AI agents will soon be able to post content to your CMS, manage customer inquiries, and repurpose content all on their own. The Promise of Voice AI Agents: Voice agents are poised to replace traditional phone systems, providing smarter, more reliable customer service and sales interactions. AI's Impact on Businesses: Large businesses, particularly those with call centers, will save millions by replacing outdated systems with AI voice agents. The Demo: Chris showcases a live demo of an AI agent acting as a handyman service representative, revealing the current capabilities and potential of this technology. Challenges and Concerns: While AI agents hold great promise, they bring challenges, such as privacy concerns and the risk of fraud, like voice cloning scams.

    The Art of Being Customer Focused: Building Value Beyond Sales - Customer Focused Compilation

    In this insightful episode, we dive deep into the secrets of effective marketing through customer empathy. Our guests reveal why true success in marketing comes from understanding and aligning with customer motivations. We explore actionable strategies like listening to customer calls, gathering real insights, and applying this knowledge into storytelling frameworks. The conversation unpacks common pitfalls, such as overselling, and shares practical ways marketers can learn to differentiate between customer wants and needs for impactful messaging. Takeaways: Customer Empathy as the Foundation - Real success starts with putting yourself in your customer’s shoes. Listen to their stories, understand their challenges, and let that drive your marketing approach. The Importance of Onboarding Time for Customer Calls - Dedicate 10-15% of initial onboarding time to listening to recorded customer interactions for a solid grounding in customer motivations. Collaborate Across Teams - Engage with sales and customer success teams to join calls and leverage scheduled check-ins for customer insights. Using Third-Party Analysis - Sometimes, a neutral third party can uncover honest feedback that clients may not openly share with company representatives. Intentional Storytelling - Apply frameworks like Donald Miller’s “Building a StoryBrand” to craft messaging that speaks to customer insights and is relatable and engaging.

  5. Unlocking the "No is Not an Answer" Mindset for Success with Volodymyr Korol, VP of Marketing at Creatio

    10月23日

    Unlocking the "No is Not an Answer" Mindset for Success with Volodymyr Korol, VP of Marketing at Creatio

    In this episode, we dive into a powerful mindset: refusing to accept "no" as an answer and finding solutions in every situation. Volodymyr Korol VP of Marketing at Creatio shares how this philosophy has driven success throughout his career and how it applies not just in marketing but in all aspects of life. He provides examples from his journey at Creatio, from negotiating ambitious goals to landing high-profile partnerships. This episode is packed with actionable insights on resourcefulness, creativity, and leadership. Takeaways: Mindset Matters: Refusing to accept "no" fosters a solution-driven approach in both personal and professional life. Creativity in Negotiation: There’s always a path to achieve goals, whether it’s adjusting resources or finding new opportunities. Growth through Resilience: Persisting through challenges has led to rapid personal and organizational growth. Cross-industry Applicability: The mindset of problem-solving transcends industries and is useful in all facets of work and life. Localization is Critical for Marketing in Different Countries: In countries like France and Spain, localized content is crucial, as consumers prefer to engage with ads and marketing materials in their native language. Even for global products like CRM software, understanding and catering to local language preferences enhances engagement and user experience. AI in Marketing is Moving Towards Autopilot: While AI is currently helping with tasks like data summarization and copy generation, the future of marketing may involve AI transitioning from a "copilot" role to an "autopilot" role. In this future state, AI systems would make more autonomous decisions, such as adjusting bids or pausing campaigns based on real-time data, allowing marketers to focus on more strategic, creative tasks.

It’s just a matter of operational organization, planning, and prioritization." - Volodymyr Korol Links: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/volodymyrkorol/ Website: https://www.creatio.com/company/feedback/request-live-demo?activity=adwords_brand_na&utm_term=creatio&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwmt24BhDPARIsAJFYKk2cF1tdU08kfEOYJzUeaLsayHsfBBVsKv7LuMFNhgI1cu7WlqlH-kEaAqx1EALw_wcB Ways to Tune In: Amazon Music: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7334aa0c-702a-47aa-8c55-760fa2cf4dda/the-revenue-driven-cmo  Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-revenue-driven-cmo/id1444680950    Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1OCuYchAG8TlGv82YARRhy?si=60a093a194c64c17  iHeart: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/263-the-revenue-driven-cmo-99614345/  Listen Notes: https://www.listennotes.com/podcasts/the-revenue-driven-cmo-chris-mechanic-rdU1oESluqs/   The Revenue-Driven CMO is sponsored by WebMechanix, the performance marketing agency that makes you smarter.
