Getting started with agile marketing: Pilot campaign
If you want to understand the potential impact and value of increasing agility, productivity and effectiveness in your marketing team a pilot is a great way to get started.
Running a pilot campaign based on a relevant use case designed to deliver benefits to your business, gives you the opportunity to test the concept of agile marketing, whilst minimising disruption. Our collaborative approach includes creating a business case for scaling agile marketing to help your executive team understand the potential benefits beyond the pilot.
What is an agile marketing pilot campaign?
The pilot is based on testing a hypothesis to meet a specific objective, for example does increasing personalisation increase leads from target accounts, will refining our personas increase penetration in target segments or will taking a multichannel approach increase registrations and attendance for an event. The campaign will be set up and managed using our accredited agile marketing methodology and run over a period of 12-15 weeks.
Our team of agile marketing experts, who are also seasoned B2B marketing practitioners will work with your team to launch, manage and report on the impact of the pilot.
