A content funnel is a structured approach to using content at each stage of the buying process, from first awareness through to conversion and retention. Done well, it creates a coherent path that matches what a prospect needs to know with where they are in their decision. Done badly, which is most of the time,…
Marketing-influenced revenue measures the contribution marketing activity makes to closed deals, not just the deals marketing directly generates. It captures every touchpoint, every piece of content, every campaign that played a role in moving a prospect toward a purchase, even when sales closed the deal and took the credit. Most companies measure this badly. They…
The psychology of advertising explains why people respond to marketing messages the way they do, drawing on how memory, emotion, and social behaviour shape purchasing decisions long before rational analysis kicks in. Understanding these mechanisms does not make you a manipulator. It makes you a better marketer, one who builds campaigns around how people actually…
B2B marketing strategies that work share one quality: they are built around how buyers actually make decisions, not how marketers wish they would. The buying process in most B2B categories is long, involves multiple stakeholders, and is rarely linear. Strategies that account for this complexity tend to outperform those built for speed and vanity metrics….
Consumer behavior and psychology is the study of how people make decisions about what to buy, who to trust, and what to ignore. It draws on cognitive science, behavioral economics, and social psychology to explain why people rarely behave the way marketers expect them to, and how brands can close that gap with more honest,…
Cash cow marketing is the discipline of managing your highest-margin, most stable products or business units to sustain profitability while you fund growth elsewhere. Done well, it is one of the most commercially intelligent things a marketing team can do. Done badly, it quietly destroys the very thing that keeps the business solvent. Most marketing…
A value proposition is a clear statement of the benefit a customer receives from choosing you over an alternative. It answers one question: why should this person buy from us instead of someone else? Done well, it shapes every commercial decision a business makes, from pricing to positioning to the language in a sales deck….
Enterprise customer data is the accumulated record of every interaction, transaction, and signal your customers have generated across your business. Most large organisations have more of it than they know what to do with, and that is precisely the problem. The data exists. The ability to act on it coherently, at the right moment, in…
Service pricing strategies determine how much revenue you capture from the value you deliver, and most agencies and consultancies leave a significant amount on the table by defaulting to cost-plus or day-rate models that were never designed to reflect commercial outcomes. The strongest pricing approaches tie price to value, signal positioning, and hold up when…
The Bud Light marketing disaster of 2023 is one of the most studied brand collapses in recent memory, but most of the analysis misses the point. This was not primarily a story about a controversial influencer partnership. It was a story about a brand that had no coherent strategy, no clear sense of who it…
