 Department fi rst - Team second (team - we - me) • Once Marketing departments breakdown its me - then we - then team - then department. This will cause a year of pain. • Death by Vanity Metrics and Dashboards - don’t hide behind them, get insights • Not knowing the di ff erence between actions, tactics & strategy • Having little to no in fl uence over Product • Growth teams outside of Marketing • Knowing what activity moved the needle • Not being able to say x = y • Letting other business owners devalue Brand The main challenges for Marketing leaders

Pre Acquisition: have more trust signals than anyone else. Be places where people expect you. During Decision Mode: Ask yourself how do we make this inspirational or aspirational. Match with scarcity! Product Marketing: Build a hero moment for the customer once the customer is built as the hero they will know it is their product their brand. Retention: Build deeper connections with existing customers. Learn more by asking questions and gaining insights from their behaviour. 
 Ask! Example this a present? Saves emailing 100 times and being spammed. Retention: Build on the products they have brought into and build out layers of trust connection and a ffi nity into the brand tell more stories connect their story with other customer stories and why it is important.

Idea / Concept 💡 Quick Why 🤔 Curation over algorithms We are bored with algorithmic content, curation takes time, e ff ort and human thought Think O ff i cial X Supplier Think how you could leverage old behaviour & become the o ffi cial supplier of x. IE - Red Bull: O ff i cial Performance Drink Supplier Everything Browser - No Desktop Software 👩💻 Miro etc is the future, software on the desktop is dying. Look at how you build in the browser & entertain Advertising in space 🚀 Was trendy on and o ff 2019 - 2020, it is the unknown and unseen and will always be seen as cool Advertising in the sea 🐬 So many opportunities to support sea life and be part of something great. Under the sea is an experience 98% of never experience 100 fans over 100000 💯 Marketing has been a numbers game for many years, smart marketers are seeing less is more. X Currency / X-coin 🤑 Bitcoin and crypto is something a few have ventured into but banks are buying into it - this means it will be a discussion point in boardrooms, getting a brand currency out will be good marketing
