Marketers Talk Smack - Conor Rath, Rath Digital

In this episode of the "Open Source Growth" podcast, host and founder Dean Denny interviews Connor Wrath, a fellow marketing agency owner. They discuss various topics related to digital marketing, customer acquisition costs, attribution modeling, and the importance of aligning marketing and sales efforts. The conversation highlights the significance of a unified approach to revenue generation, where marketing and sales work together to drive results. The podcast concludes with a discussion about the growth plans for their respective agencies and the need for brand building and team expansion.

Here's what you will learn:

1. Importance of Attribution: It is crucial for marketers to have a CRM with website analytics to accurately attribute sales and understand the effectiveness of different marketing channels.

2. Educating CFOs: When explaining attribution and marketing metrics to CFOs, it is important to consider their level of understanding and mindset. Some CFOs may require detailed explanations, while others may need a simplified overview.

3. Sales and Marketing Alignment: Sales and marketing teams should work together and share responsibility for revenue generation. Aligning metrics of success and collaborating on source and medium allocation can lead to better outcomes.

4. Focus on Lifetime Value: Instead of solely focusing on customer acquisition costs, marketers should consider the lifetime value of customers. Understanding how much customers spend over time can help prioritize strategies for long-term growth.

5. Building Brand Positioning: Developing a strong brand positioning can have a significant impact on acquiring customers. However, it's important to recognize that competitors may also target the same audience, so continuous efforts to differentiate and improve are necessary.
