How can customer connection transform your marketing strategy and drive authentic growth?
In this episode of The Hard Corps Marketing Show, I sat down with Lina Tonk, CMO at Recurly and seasoned marketing leader. Lina shares her expertise on why regular, direct conversations with customers are essential to building meaningful marketing strategies that truly resonate.
Lina breaks down the myth that marketing strategies can succeed without customer interaction and explains how repeated engagement uncovers evolving customer needs. She dives into the importance of tailoring events and campaigns based on customer preferences, balancing virtual and in-person connections, and fostering a community that turns customers into authentic brand advocates.
In this episode, we cover:
- Why talking to your customers frequently is critical for effective marketing
- How to personalize engagement based on deep customer insights
- The power of in-person vs. virtual events and respecting customer preferences
- Measuring ROI beyond leads, including sentiment and sales alignment
