Deep work behind understanding the Customer’s customer
Alex : Deep insight and understanding is key across everything that we do. We split up projects into two phases. The first being the strategy and discussion phase, and the next being the actual designing and developing phase. So, the first phase is where we get down to think about analytics, SEO, user journey, and workshop formats that we run. And, then we go on to cross-reference that with qualitative and quantitative data sources and research that we undertake.
I always talk about strategic and non-strategic projects. The latter always are the ones that need to look good and are relatively cheap. If you want to be investing in increasing lead generation and revenues, then you need to be investing in the right scope of work early on in the organization.
The right time to use multi-lingual websites
Alex : For new companies, multi-lingual websites is an option when they want to enter new markets without any physical presence. For others, it might be for them to rank on Google in different languages and localize their business for different markets. The way it starts ranking, you start seeing benefits in local markets. Any client who is serious about SEO also needs to be serious about localization.
Developing a MarTech stack for B2B companies with personalization
Alex : Personalization is always in the list of many B2B marketers, but with other priorities, it always gets knocked off. We need to spend enough time in setting the right rules and measure it to start seeing results. Account-based marketing is something a lot of marketers are investing in. And here, website personalization can play a big supporting role in terms of targeting people one-on-one.
Advice to next-gen marketers
Alex: Start as general as possible and then go up to choose a specialization as you go up the ladder. So, try and become a T-shaped marketer. Prioritization is the biggest skill.
