    🤝🏻 We keep it wonky. Do you? 🤔 Over the last year with The Growth Foundation I’ve had the unique opportunity to witness firsthand how our approach, which we affectionately call ‘Wonky Working,’ creates incredible benefits for both us and our partners. I thought i'd share these with you incase you choose to add some wonkyness into your business 😊 What is ‘Wonky Working’? ‘Wonky Working’ is our way of breaking down silos and fostering cross-functional collaboration. It's even more important in consultancy and agency land in my view, where silos are 'standard'. Brands are working with a different agency, across each function. Making it near impossible to collaborate, share learnings and develop fast feedback loops. Our method leverages the collective expertise we've built up across the strategic and executional heads in the business. It’s about bringing together different teams—each with their own unique skills and perspectives—to work towards a common goal. Heres'a few of the benefits: 🔍 Holistic Perspective: By working together, we ensure alignment across all aspects of our business along with our partners. This integrated view helps us make better decisions and craft cohesive strategies ✨ Innovative Solutions: Collaboration sparks creativity. Diverse teams bring unique perspectives, leading to solutions that a single-function approach might miss ⚡ Agility and Efficiency: Teams can quickly adapt to market changes, ensuring that we stay ahead of the competition and can pivot effectively when needed Here are some ways for you to start 'Working Wonky': 1️⃣ Unified Vision: Start with a clear, shared vision that aligns all functions. Ensure everyone understands the goals and how their role contributes to achieving them 2️⃣ Open Communication: Create open channels for communication between functions. Regular cross-functional meetings can help share insights and address challenges collectively 3️⃣ Shared Goals: Set common goals that require collaborative effort. This helps break down barriers and encourages teams to work together towards a unified objective 4️⃣ Leadership Support: Encourage leaders to model collaborative behaviour. When leadership values and demonstrates collaboration, it sets a standard for the rest of the organisation 5️⃣ Recognition and Rewards: Acknowledge and reward teams that exemplify excellent cross-functional collaboration and embody the company values. Seeing ‘Wonky Working’ in action has shown me that cross-functional collaboration is a powerful approach to driving sustainable growth. It's really not an option given the speed of change in our line of work. ✅ Your job today: Take the first step to break down silos and foster collaboration in your business. It's not a simple fix, but the juice is worth the squeeze. p.s Seeking a growth partner to help you grow your brand holistically across each function? Want your growth to be profitable, sustainable, manageable and enjoyable? Slip into my DM's 😉

    It’s a busy week of events here at The Growth Foundation. Last night Adam Callow moderated two panels, unpacking the need for diversifying acquisition channels, the role of attritibution modelling and the importance of maximising CLV (Customer Lifetime Value) in a world where CaC is only going one way. Tonight we’re hosting ‘The tastiest way to grow’ with our friends at Ometria, Nosto and and 10 amazing founders and leaders to share ideas and views on the state of eCom. Who would like to join us for our next dinner? 👇🏻

    Acquisition, Attribution and CLV. What an evening. Last night I had the pleasure of hosting two panel discussions at the latest Validify event. One all about diversifying acquisition channels and the second all about maximising CLV (Customer Lifetime Value). A huge thank you to the guest speakers Dave Morrissey from TikTok, Maximilian Rast from Klar and Valentin Radu from Omniconvert. Here’s my 8 key takeaways: 👀It’s an evolving marketplace. Relying solely on one channel means you miss out on new platforms and trends that are capturing the attention of (the most valuable currency) of your target customers ❌ When testing a new channel do not re-use assets made on one and expect them to perform the same on another 🫶🏻 We can get lost in the data, but we have to remember to be human-centric in our acquisition efforts and focussing on the people behind the purchase ⚽️ Next time you’re watching football and someone scores. Rewind (assume you can do that on sky 🤔) and see how many people were involved in that play, who touched the ball to get it up the field and how many times they touched it. In its simplest terms this is what attribution is, we often only think account the goal (Last Click), but that goal is never scored without the 7 passes leading up to it. 🔍 Not all customers are equal. Combining accurate attribution modelling with an RFM analysis (Recency, Frequency and Monetary Value - the process of ranking your customers from best to worst) will allow you to first identify who are your best customers. Then reverse engineer their journey. You’ll not only learn where to focus your media buying but also which product should get the focus on first purchase to maximise the expected LTV of that new customer ♥️When a product goes viral it sees a significant drop in CaC. This creates an opportunity for the business to take that additional margin and reinvest in moving from a ‘product business’ to a brand. Creating an emotional connection with their target audience and ‘standing for something’; without brand it’s a race to the bottom on price. ✅To maximise CLV we first need to make sure the customers experience the promise we’ve made when selling them our product. Focus on ensuring your customers use the product as intended and make them successful, or all efforts to increase CLV are a waste of time. One example was how a business remarkets to customers who have bought the products, with ads that go something like this ‘Thanks for buying X, don’t forget to get the most out of it do A B and C. You’re awesome. Bye’. 🎧 We recorded the audio, if you’d like me to send you a link of the conversations (as I’m definitely not doing them justice with my takeaways above) comment below and I’ll send you a link when they’re done. 👇🏻 Really enjoyable evening and thanks to all the guests for getting involved with the Q&A. Until next time 👋🏻
