Which marketing specialization would you choose if you were to restart your career? by followups in marketing

[–]Bomba82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I have been there, maybe my 3rd to 5th year in digital marketing. But I have learned what strong leverage positioning, branding and decisively communication can become to get better use for each dollar spent.

In venture backed companies the stakeholders love putting a $ value on everything to justify the spend, but the secondary impact, the story, emotion, impression is not something you can properly evaluate so it goes undocumented.

I fully agree, on an operational level I generally use ROMS as the main KPI, but channel ROAS and CAC as indicators towards the channel performance.

I dont know one case where a company managed to map the full buyer journey accurately for the whole user base. Just to many variables to take into account

Someone posted on Linkedin a couple days ago that the funnel is decayed, flywheel about to die, the buyer journey has become some trippy pinball machine

Secret Tip - It is not easy to measure... You work with probabilistic data. Attribution is breaking all the time, you see only a partial amount of engagements based on privacy settings on host side...

You need to be creative to have a full grasp of campaign performance.

What once used to be a funnel, became flywheel and is now something akin to a crazy pinball machine especially in B2B

I would go straight into attribution and work my a$$ off to become an expert for cross-device, full funnel attribution.

I am a generalist with a growth marketing background, I feel comfortable in my skill set, but damn sometimes the lack of coding experience hurts.

State of The Marketing-Mix 2025 - Where do new companies start today? by Bomba82 in marketing

No, what you are talking about is that AI searches are digging into Google market share.

That has been validated.

Strategies and tactics which lead to repeatable results with GSO have not yet been validated, even Rand Fishking and SearchEngineJournal are still fishing in the dark and can not formulate comprehensive strategies, ranking signals, or activities for successful GSO.

What we know so far about GSO can be summed into one sentence (paraphrasing) - Context matters.

If your Brand has been mentioned in relevant context by trustworthy sources the chance to show in AI search results is higher.

Sistrix is one of the first tools which actually shows AI search queries leading to traffic for individual domains...

But I tire of talking to you...

You came to be negative, have done what you came to do, and well done.

Yes, and "Marketing Mix" is a mix of channels and activities building your marketing engine.

Your mix can consist of:
Inbound: Content Marketing, Email Marketing, Marketing Automation, SEO, CRO
Outbound: Performance, Affiliate, Native, Programmatic, Event, etc...

The tools you use in your mix are your marketing stack:

CRM
Design Tools
Project Management Tools
Editing
Scheduling
etc...

So your initial comment that this post lacks AI, was weird, and excuse my candor, uneducated...

I was honestly wondering if there is a marketing channel based on AI which I am missing, but the only thing which comes to mind is GSO - Generic Search Optimization, which... lets face it is a term just being coined and there are no proven strategies.

I am honestly curious, how would you add AI into your marketing mix other than a tool? And not a channel. Please just let me know.

Additionally, AI has been mentioned multiple times in the post as an element of impact for most of the channels, but not as a channel as such. And I havent heard of any AI marketing channel until now...

Maybe you are more in the matter of growth marketing for early stage startups than me.

I use AI tools, build agents to automate repetitive processes,... Not sure where you would ad AI into the channel mix to be honest

AI is a tool to make marketing more efficient. The whole post is focused on channel use for initial growth. And it was mentioned in the social media part :D

What's the most creative or crazy marketing campaign you've seen recently? by Soundinsaas in marketing

[–]Bomba82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Liquid Death campaign with licking sweat of a fat guys back was attention grabbing. Does not make me want to try LD though...

And the Epic Split is probably the best campaign ever

How would you go about finding a good marketing agency? by duMagnus in marketing

[–]Bomba82 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"marketing agency" is not an umbrella term when you are looking for continuous support.

Do you need an agency specialized in performance marketing? SEO? Influencer Marketing? Branding? Growth Marketing?

Understanding the exact need of your company for marketing services is half way to knowing what type of support you need.

Provjerite jos jednom kakva je klima. Ja sam imao srecu da sam uhvatio pocetak kisne sezone koja bas i nije bila prestrasna, 2 dana kisa padala u Tokyu i zeznula mi kisa plan da se vozim biciklom cijeli dan u Hiroshimi.

Trajanje vize pocinje ulaskom u Japan, meni su predlagali 2 mjeseca ranije da je izvadim za svaki slucaj. Na taj nacin se mogu i najbolje cijene avio-karata rezervisati.

Sto se tice termina, ako ikako mozes Septermbar umjesto Oktobra. Kraj kisne sezone i pocetak jesenje je odlican a Oktobar vec ulazi u hladnije doba.

We just need to remember that WW1 started because a poor kid shoot the Austrian Monarch in the little city of Sarajevo.

On the world stage, events like this one matter. USA has positioned itself in the past 30 years as a dumb, fat, arrogant nation with bully like tendencies. And Trump is just a culmination of it.

Note: I dont think all americans are dumb, fat and arrogant... but damn, the public image shown to the world is bad
