Two founders asked me yesterday: “We're about to spend $10K/month on an agency. What would you do?” I said: ✅ Put more into demand gen ✅ Hire a video editor ✅ Run paid tests ✅ Build awareness + trust Agencies can help (I run one), but early on - traction > retainer.

At smaller companies, the role of marketing is to ship things fast, yet methodically, in line with the KPIs or goals we've been given. Most marketers fail because they don't operate from this place.

Me explaining why ungated content > gated content. Jk. Realistically probably talking about how we better serve our @ZenMaid customers. Productive company retreat here in Zandvoort, NL so far!
