Following on from Growthforia, Jennifer and Casper tackle one of the most frustrating challenges for marketers: random acts of marketing.

You’ll hear why:

  • Ad hoc campaigns with no clear business link waste time and credibility

  • The HiPPO is the most dangerous thing to your team

  • Celebrating vanity metrics is dangerous when the business is underperforming

They share their own war stories, from Queen of England tribute posts to failed pizza giveaways, and why early-career marketers often fall into these traps without realizing it.

But more importantly, they get into the how:

  • Why strategy is your best weapon for saying “no”

  • How to map marketing efforts to real business objectives

  • Using the bowtie model (aka full customer journey) to think beyond acquisition

    • How cross-functional task forces can break silos and improve outcomes
    • And what to do if YOU are the HiPPO in the room

  • This is a must-listen for marketers ready to move from chaotic campaigns to systems that actually drive business value.

    Key takeaway:
    Busy ≠ effective. If your marketing isn’t tied to strategy and outcomes, you’re just making noise.
