A million different initiatives, the team is unsure of priorities

Way too much time in meetings
Jump through a lot of hoops to get projects approved

What is Agile Marketing?
“Agile marketing is an approach in which teams identify and focus their collective efforts on high value projects, complete those projects cooperatively, measure their impact, and then continuously and incrementally improve the results over time”

Develop a Hypothesis:
Why are we doing this?
What’s the hypothesis? What is the desired outcome?
Are we seeing traction?

Minimize the build stage
Run a small campaign before scaling up
A/b test it first
Use a landing page builder
Ask your vendors to work with you on the smallest possible contract or an extended trial

The next iteration of the experiment
Strategize scale successful initiatives
Experiments to launch for the next
growth meeting

Translate Experiments into Revenue
What are the results of your experiment?
How do we iterate and scale up?
What are the key learnings or actions items?
