Marketing Plan vs. Go-to-Market Plan: Why the Difference Matters More in 2025

Deals and decisions on ice? Don't turn Q2 of 2025 into a period of "wait and see". Expand to read why this isn't the time to freeze, its time to sharpen.

With margins shrinking and purchasing decisions stalled, many SaaS and tech companies are treating 2025 as a year to “wait and see.” That’s a mistake. Instead of pausing investment, this is the time to get sharper. Especially in how you plan.

And one of the biggest planning traps we see? Confusing your marketing strategy with your go-to-market (GTM) strategy.

What’s the difference?

Your marketing strategy is your long-term blueprint. It defines how your brand shows up, who you serve, and how you build awareness over time. Think: brand positioning, market analysis, content, and customer journeys.

Your GTM strategy? It’s your launch playbook. GTM is short-term, focused, and tactical—built to drive adoption of a new product or entry into a new market. Think: pricing, packaging, sales enablement, and channel strategy.

Why this matters now

In a volatile environment, companies can’t afford fuzzy execution. A marketing strategy without GTM means you risk brand-building with no conversion. A GTM plan without marketing context means you might hit targets, but at the cost of brand equity or long-term fit.

At Revop, we work with scaling companies to bring both together. We define your marketing foundation and tailor GTM strategies for each product or segment—especially when budgets are tight, buying cycles are long, and economic conditions are shifting weekly.

Now’s the time to review. Not retreat.

B2B Marketing Just Got Interesting: Why Growth-Focused Marketers Matter More Than Ever

In times of economic turbulence, the spotlight turns to marketing, not just for brand awareness, but for driving measurable growth. As global markets fluctuate and buyer confidence shifts, companies need more than campaigns. Discover why emotionally engaging, strategic marketing is critical for B2B brands in today’s volatile market. Learn how Revop's fractional marketing services help scale-ups grow. Expand to read our blog

The Shift Toward Bold B2B Marketing

In times of economic turbulence, the spotlight turns to marketing, not just for brand awareness, but to drive real, measurable growth. As global markets fluctuate and buyer confidence shifts, companies need more than campaigns. They need strategic clarity, commercial impact, and faster paths to revenue.

That’s why B2B marketing is finally getting interesting.

We’re seeing a shift from dry, functional messaging to emotionally engaging, attention-grabbing work. Take LinkedIn’s forklift ad; a playful, bold move aimed at marketers targeting finance teams. It stands out precisely because it feels more like B2C: visual, surprising, and rooted in a clear buyer insight.

Wise’s CMO, Cian Weeresinghe, captured this mood perfectly in Marketing Week: “We don’t want to be boring.” In a world drowning in noise, B2B brands can’t afford to blend in.

System1's data reinforces this. Their “cost of dull” research proves overly rational ads don’t cut through. Brands clinging to product specs and safe messaging are getting left behind. In a high-stakes market, playing it safe is the bigger risk.

Growth Marketers Are Built for This Moment

In this market, growth-focused marketers are essential. Businesses need strategic operators who understand category dynamics, buyer psychology, and go-to-market execution. Marketers who can blend commercial insight with creative boldness. This is where growth marketers shine. The ones who see the full picture - customer, category and commercial goals, and know how to align brand, content, and go-to-market to drive pipeline.

That's where Revop comes in. We offer fractional CMO services and go-to-market strategy for scale-ups and tech companies looking to break into new markets, reposition for growth, or launch with confidence. We help teams move from feature-focused to customer-first storytelling—combining emotional hooks with strategic precision.

Emotion Drives Action. Strategy Drives Scale.

The best-performing B2B brands today understand this: emotional resonance creates attention; strategic clarity drives conversion. It’s not a choice between creativity and results, you need both.

If you’re navigating uncertainty and looking for a more effective, growth-minded approach to marketing, let’s talk. 2025 will be a defining year for how companies approach purpose. Will your brand step back, or will you lean in?

Looking to build a go-to-market strategy that cuts through? Explore our fractional marketing services or get in touch today.

Beyond MQLs: Why Marketing Must Own More Than Just Leads

For too long, marketing has been measured by the wrong success metrics. Our CEO shares her thoughts and a full report on why marketing should not be chasing volume of leads, but real revenue impact.

For too long, marketing has been measured by the wrong success metrics. In B2B, the traditional focus on MQLs (Marketing Qualified Leads) has often led teams to chase volume over value, handing over leads to sales that may never convert, optimizing for vanity metrics rather than real revenue impact.

That’s why I was excited to contribute to a new report, which challenges outdated success measures and makes the case for marketing as a true revenue driver. The findings resonate deeply with what we do at Revop—helping businesses align marketing, sales, and customer success to accelerate growth.

Marketing’s Role Has Changed—So Must Its Metrics

The report highlights a critical shift: B2B marketing isn’t about generating leads, it’s pivotal in driving revenue, improving conversion rates, and accelerating pipeline velocity. That means marketing teams must go beyond MQLs and focus on:

Pipeline Influence – Understanding which marketing efforts contribute to actual sales opportunities, not just lead capture.
Conversion Impact – Tracking how well marketing nurtures leads and supports sales in closing deals.
Customer Expansion – Engaging existing customers for retention, upsell, and advocacy.

At Revop, we see this transformation happening firsthand. The most successful businesses are the ones where marketing doesn’t operate in a silo—instead, it collaborates closely with sales and customer success to create a seamless go-to-market strategy that fuels long-term growth.

What This Means for CMOs

This shift isn’t just a tactical adjustment; it’s a fundamental change in how marketing is valued within the business. CMOs must:

Align with sales and customer success on shared revenue goals.
Shift from MQL obsession to measuring real impact—pipeline, win rates, and lifetime value.
Prove marketing’s strategic role in business growth—not just lead generation.

The Future of B2B Growth

The report confirms what we’ve been advocating for at Revop—marketing is no longer just a demand engine; it’s a revenue engine. It’s time to reframe success and ensure marketing is funded, resourced, and recognized for the role it plays in business growth.

I encourage every marketing and revenue leader to read the full report. You’ll gain invaluable insights into how leading CMOs are adapting to this shift and making marketing more accountable—and more powerful—than ever before.

Ethical Marketing: Divergence in the Market and What It Means for Tech

In the B2B tech industry, trust, transparency, and purpose have often been key differentiators. Should tech follow the lead of consumer brands stepping back from purpose-driven marketing? Expand to read our blog

The marketing world has seen a significant shift. Unilever—long a leader in purpose-driven campaigns—has announced it will step back from marketing goods through the lens of ethical purpose. At the same time, Ben & Jerry’s, a brand under Unilever’s own umbrella, is leaning in to occupy the space others are vacating. Ben & Jerry’s has an independent Board of Directors to preserve its social mission and brand integrity, ensuring its purpose remains intact regardless of broader corporate decisions.

This divergence in strategy raises critical questions for the B2B tech industry, where trust, transparency, and purpose have often been key differentiators. Should tech follow the lead of consumer brands stepping back, or is there a strategic opportunity to lean into purpose as a way to stand out? And with increasing concerns around AI ethics, data privacy, and DEI, is there a need for tech companies to adopt similar governance models to ensure accountability? Let’s explore how these changes might impact tech marketing and decision-making.

Trust in Tech: Why Ethics Still Matter

Unlike consumer goods, tech products—especially in SaaS and enterprise software—rely heavily on customer trust. Data privacy regulations like GDPR and CCPA have made ethical practices non-negotiable, forcing companies to prioritize transparency in how they handle customer data.

However, regulations alone don’t guarantee trust. Buyers want to work with vendors who demonstrate integrity, not just compliance. Ethical marketing builds this trust by addressing customer concerns around privacy, security, and sustainability. Tech companies that step away from purpose-driven marketing risk eroding this trust, particularly in a competitive market where differentiation often comes down to values.

AI Ethics and the Role of Governance

As artificial intelligence continues to shape the tech industry, ethical concerns around its use are growing. Issues such as bias in AI algorithms, misuse of facial recognition, and opaque decision-making processes have put tech companies under scrutiny. This is where a governance model, like the one Ben & Jerry’s adopted, could prove invaluable for tech firms.

By establishing independent boards or ethics committees, tech companies could ensure that AI development and deployment align with ethical principles and societal expectations. These boards could oversee decisions on data usage, algorithm fairness, and accountability, acting as a safeguard against missteps that could damage trust.

The Employee Impact: Purpose as a Talent Magnet

Another dimension of this debate is the impact on employees. The tech industry’s top talent is increasingly values-driven. Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) initiatives and purpose-driven agendas have become powerful differentiators for attracting and retaining talent, particularly among younger, millennial, and Gen Z workers.

If DEI programs and ethical initiatives are deprioritized, will companies still attract the best talent? For many employees, a company’s purpose is as important as its product. Organizations like Salesforce and Microsoft have shown that purpose can coexist with profitability, reinforcing their position as leaders in both innovation and values. Conversely, the withdrawal of purpose-driven initiatives may lead to talent choosing competitors who align with their values.

Purpose: Generational or Universal?

One argument often made is that purpose-driven marketing is generational. Younger consumers and employees, particularly Gen Z, are seen as more values-driven, while older generations of business leaders may prioritize price or functionality. But is this entirely true?

Research suggests that while younger generations are vocal about purpose, ethical considerations resonate across all demographics when trust is a factor. For example, data privacy isn’t generational; it’s universal. Similarly, sustainability is increasingly seen as a baseline expectation, not an optional extra. The challenge for tech marketers is understanding where purpose intersects with customer and employee priorities and how it can be leveraged to create meaningful connections.

Meta’s Role: A Case Study in Backtracking

Meta’s decision to reverse ethical content screening policies highlights a critical dilemma: how to balance growth and accountability. By easing restrictions, Meta may attract advertisers seeking fewer limitations, but it risks alienating users and brands that prioritize responsible practices. For tech companies, the lesson is clear: ethical backtracking may lead to short-term gains, but it could damage long-term trust and loyalty.

What This Means for Tech Marketers

For tech marketers, the divergence in the market offers both risks and opportunities:

Lean Into Purpose as a Differentiator: With some brands stepping back, tech companies have an opportunity to claim the ethical space, embedding purpose into operations, product development, and customer engagement.

Align Purpose with Trust: In tech, purpose isn’t about lofty ideals; it’s about building trust through transparency, compliance, and delivering on promises. Use purpose-driven messaging to reinforce why customers and employees should choose you.

Establish Governance for Accountability: Following Ben & Jerry’s example, tech companies could create and control independent boards or ethics committees to oversee areas like AI ethics, DEI, and data privacy. This ensures accountability and reinforces a commitment to purpose.

Integrate DEI and Sustainability: Purpose shouldn’t be a standalone campaign. It should be integrated into hiring practices, corporate strategy, and customer success initiatives. Companies that align their values internally and externally will resonate more deeply with stakeholders.

Understand the Cyclical Nature of Purpose: Purpose-driven marketing may wax and wane in popularity, but its underlying principles—trust, accountability, and transparency—are evergreen. Recognize that purpose isn’t a trend; it’s a long-term strategy.

Conclusion: The Future of Tech

The era of purpose-driven marketing isn’t over; it’s evolving. As consumer brands like Unilever step back, tech companies have a chance to lead by example, proving that ethics and growth can coexist. By leaning into trust, transparency, and purpose and adopting governance models that ensure accountability, tech marketers can build sustainable, values-driven businesses that attract customers and employees alike.

2025 will be a defining year for how companies approach purpose. Will your brand step back, or will you lean in?

Make 2025 the Year of Cyclical Growth

A cyclical customer journey isn’t just a better way to engage customers; it’s the foundation for sustainable, scalable growth. Read more below

Cyclical Customer Journeys are the key to Sustainable Growth in 2025, which means retaining, engaging, and evolving with the customers you already have. As we head into 2025, one thing is clear, the traditional, flat, linear customer journey map no longer reflects the dynamic nature of how customers interact with technology companies. The most successful tech businesses today are embracing cyclical customer journeys as a transformative approach that aligns every team to a lifecycle-based customer experience.

Why Flat Customer Journeys Don’t Work Anymore

For years, tech companies relied on linear customer journey maps: simple, step-by-step processes that guided customers from awareness to purchase and, at best, a vague notion of retention. However, this approach often leads to disengagement. It fails to account for the recurring, evolving nature of customer relationships and the way customers re-enter the journey at various stages, such as renewal, expansion, or advocacy.

A flat journey also perpetuates silos between teams. Marketing focuses on acquisition, sales on closing deals, and customer success on retention, each operating within their own stage of the journey, rather than aligning on a holistic view of the customer lifecycle.

The Shift to Cyclical Customer Journeys

Cyclical customer journeys reflect the true nature of today’s tech customers. They recognize that the customer experience is not a one-and-done process but a continuous loop, where every stage feeds into the next. From onboarding to adoption, retention to expansion and finally, advocacy, customers constantly evolve with your technology. Each time they reach a new milestone, they begin a new cycle, driving their journey forward.

This cyclical approach requires:

Lifecycle Alignment: All teams, from sales, marketing, product, and customer success, must work in sync, using the same customer journey map tailored to your specific business and audience.

Customer Evolution: Recognizing that customers’ needs change as they grow with your product and ensuring you provide the right value and support at every stage.

Advocacy as a Catalyst: Leveraging satisfied customers to re-enter the journey as advocates, fueling new acquisition and retention efforts.

How Cyclical Journeys Fit Key Tech Trends for 2025

1. Product-Led Growth (PLG)

Cyclical journeys are a natural fit for the rise of Product-Led Growth. PLG puts the product at the center of the customer experience, allowing users to explore and adopt features at their own pace. This approach thrives in a cyclical model, as customers move from onboarding to adoption and continuously expand their usage over time. A smooth, intuitive journey fuels retention and advocacy, making your product a self-sustaining growth engine.

2. AI-Driven Personalization

In 2025, personalization will be more important than ever. AI tools enable businesses to deliver tailored experiences at every stage of the customer lifecycle. A cyclical journey allows you to use AI-driven insights to anticipate customer needs, offering personalized onboarding experiences, targeted upsell opportunities, and timely support. This ensures customers feel valued and engaged throughout their evolving relationship with your business.

3. Customer Advocacy Programs

Customer advocacy has become a cornerstone of growth strategies, especially in SaaS. Cyclical journeys amplify advocacy by creating a seamless path for customers to transition from loyal users to enthusiastic advocates. Advocacy doesn’t just end the cycle; it feeds back into the top of the funnel, driving new acquisitions through referrals, case studies, and peer recommendations.

4. Sustainability in SaaS

SaaS companies are increasingly focused on sustainable growth. A cyclical customer journey aligns perfectly with this goal by prioritizing retention and expansion. Keeping existing customers engaged and satisfied is more cost-effective than acquiring new ones, and it strengthens your business’s resilience in challenging markets.

Building Your Cyclical Customer Journey

To implement a successful cyclical journey, consider these steps:

Map the Full Lifecycle: Create a journey map that covers all stages of the customer lifecycle: onboarding, adoption, retention, expansion, and advocacy. Make it specific to your customers’ needs and your business goals.

Align Your Teams: Ensure that every team is aligned to this journey map, sharing metrics, goals, and responsibilities. Break down silos and foster collaboration across departments.

Invest in Technology: Use customer data platforms (CDPs) and AI tools to centralize customer insights and automate key touchpoints, ensuring a seamless experience at every stage.

Measure and Iterate: Regularly analyze performance metrics such as Net Promoter Score (NPS), Customer Lifetime Value (CLV), and retention rates. Use these insights to refine the journey and adapt to changing customer needs.

Make 2025 the Year of Cyclical Growth

A cyclical customer journey isn’t just a better way to engage customers; it’s the foundation for sustainable, scalable growth. By aligning your teams and adapting to your customers’ evolving needs, you can create a journey that not only retains existing customers but also turns them into your strongest advocates.

Ready to take the next step? Contact us for deeper insights into how cyclical customer journeys can transform your strategy in 2025. Let’s make this year a milestone for growth in the tech world.

2024 in Review: Trends Shaping the Tech Industry and a Look Ahead to 2025

As 2024 draws to a close, the tech industry reflects on a transformative year marked by challenges, innovation, and new opportunities. At Revop, we’ve explored these shifts in our blogs, uncovering the key trends that have reshaped business growth strategies and what they mean for 2025.

1. AI as a Catalyst for Change

AI took center stage in 2024 as companies integrated it into operations to enhance efficiency, decision-making, and customer experiences. Blogs explored the rise of AI-driven SaaS solutions, the democratization of AI tools, and how these technologies enable startups to scale intelligently. Emphasis was placed on practical AI applications for marketing, sales, and operations, alongside its potential to redefine productivity metrics.

2. Sustainable, Customer-Led Growth

In a year of economic uncertainty, many businesses shifted focus from aggressive scaling to sustainable growth. Our Growth Guide for Sustainable Success provided actionable steps for balancing customer acquisition with retention, highlighting strategies like personalized engagement, account-based marketing (ABM), and aligning internal teams around the customer journey.

3. Rethinking Traditional Models

A recurring theme was breaking away from outdated marketing funnels and embracing customer-centric models like Account-Based Experience (ABX). Revop advocated for tearing down silos and replacing them with integrated strategies informed by the ideal customer journey.

4. Bootstrapping as a Growth Strategy

With PE funding declining, startups explored bootstrapping and angel investment as viable alternatives. These strategies fostered operational independence and agility, allowing founders to prioritize profitability and long-term vision over immediate scale.

5. Tech Leadership and Community

This blog highlighted the importance of collaborative growth, inclusive leadership, and community-driven innovation. Leaders who invested in partnerships and knowledge-sharing positioned their startups for scalable success while fostering a culture of adaptability.

6. Metrics That Matter

Another key discussion revolved around redefining success metrics. Companies leaned into data-driven insights to measure long-term customer value, team alignment, and market adaptability instead of focusing solely on rapid revenue growth. We published a guide of all metrics that matter.

7. Navigating Market Uncertainty

Amid global challenges, such as political shifts in the US and UK, we reflected on their impact on hiring trends, trade agreements, and market confidence. Proactive agility and a focus on upskilling teams emerged as critical strategies for weathering uncertainties.

Looking Ahead to 2025

As we transition into 2025, these trends will continue to shape the tech industry. AI adoption will deepen, sustainable growth will remain central, and companies will navigate shifting geopolitical and economic landscapes with resilience and creativity.

The recent political shifts in the US and UK are poised to influence tech markets. Economic policies, trade agreements, and workforce regulations could impact hiring trends, venture funding, and expansion strategies. As governments prioritize innovation-driven economies, tech companies must adapt by staying agile and investing in skills development.

AI and automation will continue to dominate, with advancements making hyper-personalized customer experiences even more accessible. Businesses that integrate these technologies effectively will set themselves apart in competitive markets.

Collaborative growth also aligns closely with customer-centric models. By building relationships with customers, industry peers, and internal teams, tech leaders can create products and services that solve real-world challenges while fostering brand advocacy.

Lean Operations: Scaling Smart, Not Hard

Lean operations remain the cornerstone of success for startups and scale-ups. Embracing agile methodologies, prioritizing data-driven decisions, and focusing on high-impact initiatives can help organizations maintain flexibility while scaling. Community-driven approaches often provide critical insights into emerging trends, allowing leaders to adapt and innovate efficiently.

Building a Thriving Community

A thriving tech community doesn’t just happen, it requires deliberate action:

Invest in Relationships: Foster partnerships with other businesses, industry influencers, and consider institutions to exchange ideas and resources.
Encourage Knowledge Sharing: Host webinars, contribute to forums, or lead workshops to establish your thought leadership and give back to the community.
Focus on Inclusivity: Diverse teams and perspectives fuel innovation, so build spaces where everyone feels valued and heard.

The Payoff: Innovation and Growth

Communities that prioritize collaboration and lean principles aren’t just good for business, they’re good for the future of tech. Leaders who embrace these values position their startups for scalable success while driving meaningful change in their industries.

Scaling Your Tech Company: The Evolution of Product Positioning Across Growth Stages

Scaling a tech company from its early stages to something much larger is a journey that’s as challenging as it is rewarding.

Scaling a tech company from its early stages to something much larger is a journey that’s as challenging as it is rewarding. It requires careful planning, strategic decision-making, and a deep understanding of your company’s evolving needs.

In this article, we explore the evolution of product positioning across the three key stages of growth: seed, growth, and enterprise. Drawing on insights from Revop's industry experts who’ve navigated this journey, we’ll explore the key, essential steps needed to ensure your marketing efforts align with your business strategy.

Seed Stage

At the seed stage, it’s all about establishing product-market fit to ensure your product resonates with your target market to generate core revenue. But you will also need to think about building a strong brand, and crafting a compelling value proposition. This is where deep customer research, targeted marketing, and strong messaging frameworks lay the foundations for growth.

Growth Stage

Whether you have secured series A or B funding, as your company enters the growth stage, your marketing efforts must scale with it. Aligning your teams around a more refined messaging is crucial to appeal to a broader audience. This means you'll also need to develop highly sophisticated customer segmentation strategies, and sales enablement, whilst leveraging a wider range of marketing channels become essential to driving customer acquisition and retention.

Enterprise Stage

By the time you reach the enterprise stage, your marketing efforts should be laser-focused on the needs of larger, more sophisticated customers. This may involve crafting industry-specific solutions, custom messaging, ABM or ABX and ensuring tight alignment with your sales team to deliver a seamless customer experience.

Throughout each stage, it's critical to align your product marketing efforts with your overall business strategy. By understanding and adapting to the typical progression of product marketing across these stages, you position your company for long-term, sustainable growth.

Revop is here to help you navigate each of these stages. We have the know-how and experience to guide tech companies through the complexities of scaling, ensuring that your marketing strategy evolves with your business.

Embracing Change as Part of a Growth Mindset

Why "Business as Usual" doesn't cut it when growing your business

"business as usual" just doesn’t cut it anymore. To stay competitive, companies need to embrace change as a core part of their growth strategy. But what does that really mean? It starts with developing a growth mindset—a belief that challenges, obstacles, and uncertainty are opportunities for creative problem-solving and business transformation.

Why Embracing Change is Essential
Change isn’t just about keeping up; it’s about staying ahead. Whether you’re in banking, retail, or public service, rapidly delivering value to your customers demands agility. It's not just about speed—it’s about understanding and responding to market shifts, new regulations, and emerging risks. Retailers delight customers with faster service, while banks now trade more securely and explore new customer engagement channels. Transformation is the key to growth, and the most significant leaps often come from daring to do things differently.

Facing the Uncertainty of Change
Change can feel uncertain, and that discomfort can be unsettling. But growth thrives on uncertainty. Instead of fearing failure or challenges, see them as fuel for creative solutions. Problems inspire innovation, and creative problem-solving is essential for business growth. From bagless vacuums to streaming content, what seems radical in the moment often becomes obvious in hindsight.

Developing a Growth Mindset
To embrace change, we must shift our thinking. A growth mindset allows us to see every challenge as an opportunity, helping us focus on solutions rather than obstacles. It’s about being okay with uncertainty and learning to thrive in it. Businesses must be comfortable with discomfort if they want to avoid short-sightedness and unlock long-term success.

Rebel Ideas and Cognitive Diversity
Rebel ideas are the sparks that can help outmaneuver the competition. It’s not just about sticking to the script, but thinking differently about the world and deviating from the norm. Cognitive diversity—gathering a variety of perspectives and experiences—creates the right environment for innovation and sustainable growth. By embracing diverse views and fostering creative conflict, teams are better equipped to tackle challenges and respond to change.

At Revop, we understand that change is inevitable and essential for growth. With our expertise in strategy and execution, we can help guide your business through transformational shifts, setting you on a path toward sustainable success.

Growth Revenue Metrics Explained: The definitive Guide for startups and scale-up businesses.

In this video short, we talk about tracking revenue metrics and introduce our new definitive guide. Crack the jargon, understand what investors want to talk about and identify which metrics you should be tracking in our published guide.

Building a Vision For Your Startup: Revenue Growth Projections

Focus on potential, not just projections. Build pricing and packaging, sales plays, and pitch decks that showcase your market’s opportunity.

When you’re in the early stages of your startup journey, the road ahead can seem uncertain. You might wonder whether you should include revenue projections in your pitch deck or how to package and price your offerings without anchoring yourself to figures that may not reflect your future growth.

The earliest stages of a startup are all about vision, assumptions, and ambition. Revenue projections at this point can feel fictional because, truthfully, they often are. Sales cycles are longer than anticipated, and achieving product-market fit is a longer journey. So, what’s the solution? Instead of getting bogged down by specific numbers, it’s crucial to showcase the potential of your market and your understanding of the key drivers of your business.

Our consultancy services at Revop are designed to help you navigate these uncertainties. We specialize in building comprehensive packaging and pricing strategies that evolve with your business, developing sales plays that resonate with your target audience, and crafting pitch decks that capture the imagination of investors and prospective customers alike. Whether you need first-call decks that open doors or a solid business plan that outlines a clear path to success, we’ve got you covered.

Our goal is to help you build the foundation for a startup that can grow exponentially—100x or more. We’ll guide you in highlighting your market’s potential, identifying barriers to entry, and determining price ranges that reflect both the current state and future possibilities. With Revop by your side, you’ll be better equipped to present a compelling vision that excites investors and positions your company for long-term success.

Navigating the New Marketing Landscape: The Future of search is AI-Powered (may contain cookies)

The marketing landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. The modern marketer needs robust tools like MMM powered by meaningful AI data to succeed.

The marketing landscape is undergoing a seismic shift. Relying solely on dashboards for your sales teams is no longer enough. The modern marketer needs robust tools like Marketing Mix Modeling (MMM) powered by meaningful AI data insights and test-and-learn metrics. In a partly cookie-less world, first and second-party data offer richer insights and pinpoint accuracy, rendering third-party data assumptions obsolete.

The Decline of Third-Party Cookies

Third-party cookies, introduced in 2015, are becoming a thing of the past. With only the Chrome browser still supporting cookies, marketers must pivot. Despite Google's dominance with 64% of internet searches, the advent of AI-powered search is set to disrupt current paradigms. Websites will no longer rank based on traditional metrics; instead, content will be curated by AI. This means marketers must evolve their data points and analytics now to stay ahead.

The Rise of First and Second-Party Data

First and second-party data are the new gold standard. These data sources provide deeper, more accurate insights, enabling marketers to create highly targeted campaigns. Unlike third-party data, which often relies on assumptions and can be nebulous, first and second-party data offer direct insights from your audience, ensuring greater relevance and impact.

Leveraging AI for Enhanced Insights

AI-powered data insights are revolutionizing marketing strategies. By integrating AI with MMM, marketers can gain a comprehensive view of their marketing effectiveness. AI can process vast amounts of data quickly and objectively, uncovering patterns and trends that humans might miss. This allows for more precise targeting, better budget allocation, and more effective campaigns. Meta are currently developing their own AI powered MMM solution - this isn't a distant goal - marketers need to be prepared to change.

Test-and-Learn Metrics

In this evolving landscape, test-and-learn metrics are essential. Continuous experimentation and analysis help marketers refine their strategies and adapt to changing conditions. This approach fosters innovation and ensures that marketing efforts remain effective and relevant. This approach to econometrics, coupled with AI analytics has already proven to leverage impressive revenue growth of +30 - 34% and improved campaign performance by 33% according to sources such as Voyatis, Meta and Miro.

Prepare Now for the Future

As the marketing environment continues to change, growth marketers must stay proactive. At Revop, we have the insights and expertise to help you navigate these challenges. We can guide you in transitioning from outdated cookie-based strategies to leveraging first and second-party data, integrating AI, and adopting test-and-learn metrics.

When to be more human in the age of AI

There's a way to break through the noise and attain fame as a market leader, even in the midst of saturation.

In the competitive landscape of HR tech, where every company vies for attention in a crowded market, standing out can seem like an uphill battle. But what if we told you there's a way to break through the noise and attain fame as a market leader, even in the midst of saturation? The secret lies in the power of truly engaging content.

B2B shouldn't stand for Boring. Take, for example, Workday, the cloud-based accounting and HR platform. Their CMO is leading a charge to disrupt the traditional mold of B2B marketing. How? By embracing a more human approach and creating emotionally driven advertising that resonates with audiences on a deeper level.

Similar to the approach taken by Zendesk, Workday's advertising campaigns take a page from the B2C playbook, injecting humor, emotion, and relatability into their messaging. Gone is the dry, technical jargon—instead, they opt for content that entertains, delights, and leaves a lasting impression.

But why is engaging content so crucial in today's AI-dominated landscape? The answer lies in the fact that amidst the sea of automated content, human connection reigns supreme. While AI-generated content may be efficient, it often lacks the personal touch and emotional resonance that human-driven storytelling can deliver.

That's where Workday's strategy truly shines. By infusing their advertising with humor and personality, they humanize their brand and forge genuine connections with their audience. And when you add a touch of star power—like featuring Gwen Stefani in their 'rockstar' campaigns—you've got a winning formula for capturing attention and standing out from the crowd.

In a world where AI-generated content is king, it's easy to get lost in the noise. But by embracing the power of engaging, human-centric content, companies like Workday are proving that there's still room for creativity, authenticity, and humor in the world of B2B marketing. So, if you want to rise above the competition and make a name for yourself in the saturated HR tech market, remember this: In a sea of automation, be more human.

The Missing Piece: Why Small Businesses Need Marketing Leadership

Marketing leadership plays a crucial role in driving growth and staying ahead of the curve. However, recent industry trends reveal a surprising gap.

In today's competitive business landscape, marketing leadership plays a crucial role in driving growth and staying ahead of the curve. However, recent industry trends reveal a surprising gap in the seniority of marketing staff, particularly in small or new businesses.

According to recent research, 40.5% of B2B businesses admit that their leadership team lacks a dedicated marketing director or Chief Marketing Officer (CMO). This number is significantly higher compared to B2C companies, where only 26.5% face a similar shortfall in marketing leadership. What's more, the absence of marketing expertise becomes even more pronounced in smaller businesses, with nearly half of companies with less than 250 employees operating without a marketer on their leadership team.

This disparity puts smaller B2B companies and startups at a distinct disadvantage, limiting their ability to compete effectively. Without a seasoned marketing professional guiding strategy and execution, these businesses risk missing out on crucial opportunities for growth and market expansion.

Enter the fractional CMO consultancy model, a solution tailored to meet the needs of small and new businesses seeking to level the playing field. At Revop Consultants, we specialize in providing cost-effective, fully flexible, and scalable CMO expertise to help businesses thrive.

Our team of seasoned experts brings a wealth of experience in revenue growth and building a growth mindset across all functions of the business. From strategic planning to tactical execution, we work closely with our clients to develop tailored marketing strategies that drive results and maximize ROI.

So, if your business finds itself with an empty seat at the marketing leadership table, don't despair. With Revop by your side, you can unlock the full potential of your marketing efforts and chart a course for sustainable growth and success.

Don't let a lack of marketing leadership hold your business back. Take the first step towards realizing your growth ambitions.
