Christina Del Villar, Founder and Chief Marketing Strategist, joins us on this episode. Christina is author of the book, Sway: Implement the G.R.I.T. Marketing Method to Gain Influence and Drive Corporate Strategy, which is discussed throughout the interview today.
In this episode, we discuss:
- The G.R.I.T. Marketing Method: G - go-to-market strategy; R - repeatable, predictable and measurable; I - intention and T - tools and technology;
- What’s wrong with how companies are currently developing their go-to-market strategy, and how to get this right by developing the strategy together, with all four legs of the chair involved - including marketing, product, sales and customer success;
- The role that marketing can play through the customer journey, from influencing the product blueprint, to supporting customer success;
- The key MarTech tools needed for any SME; and
- The first three marketing hires that Christina would make for an early stage startup.
Christina’s book is for any marketing leader that knows they can have a bigger impact and greater influence in their organisation. It includes useful frameworks and toolkits that map out where marketing should focus in each stage of the customer journey, as well as other hard-earned advice on how to grow your influence through empathy and intention.
Christina is a Silicon Valley marketing executive, consultant and author who geeks out on helping companies transform, grow and scale and leveraging technology. With over 25 years of experience, spanning 20 startups and Fortune 100 companies including Udacity, Autodesk, Oracle and Zip2 - one of Elon Musk’s very first startups.
