As Head of Marketing at TaskRabbit, I've helped build and scale a marketing strategy on a very limited budget. To do so, I've applied many of Eric Ries' lean start-up principles - which are typically associated with product development - to the marketing organization.
In this class, you'll learn how to adapt lean start-up strategies to build and implement a marketing strategy for your own business. You will walk away with a lean marketing strategy and some key tactics for your own business or brand.
You’ll get there by focusing on some marketing essentials, including:
You'll also spend some time looking at specific marketing tactics and channels as well as the key things to consider and common pitfalls. Importantly, you'll learn how to test marketing tactics and iterate quickly to determine the most appropriate and effective marketing channels to focus on and invest in - the premise of Ries' lean tactics.
