Marketing is hard

Leading a marketing team is even harder

CMO tenure is the lowest it’s been in a decade—here’s why:

Your budgets are often the first to get cut.

of CMOs believe they lack sufficient budget to fully execute their strategy.

You have to wear multiple hats—

understand finance to invest in ROI, stay close to your product to perfect messaging, collaborate with sales to drive qualified leads…

You have to innovate constantly—

this industry moves fast and what worked yesterday won’t necessarily work tomorrow.

Or perhaps marketing is hard because acquiring customers is hard (er than ever)

In 2013, merchants spent $9 to acquire a new customer on average, but today, this has shot up to $29,

Consumers have access to more products and services than ever before, with millions of new storefronts enabled by the digital revolution.

They also have access to more information than ever before, meaning they want to conduct in-depth research before making a purchase.

So, what do you prioritize?

Maybe it’s those three big bold letters:

ROI?

How about

all of them?

You need a cost effective, efficient channel that lessens the burden on your team, improves customer experience, and crucially drives ROI:

Partnership Marketing

Partnership marketing encompasses any partners who refer and recommend you customers. This could be creators who recommend your brand, publishing houses like Meredith and Conde Nast who review your business, affiliates who link out to your products, and more.

Customer Referrals

The hard truth? People don’t want to hear you talk about your brand. They want unfiltered opinions. From 3rd parties they implicitly trust. So they’re turning to review sites, influencers and family and friends–before making a purchase. That’s why partnerships are so crucial for new customer acquisition.
