Add Lean Principles
Lean principles allow for the experimentation of your marketing plan (channels, strategies, ad-copy/messaging etc.) in order to reduce the scale of failure and increase the chance of success.

Growth hacking is the practice of using a website or a product’s functionality in alternative—and often ingenious—ways to capture value beyond it’s original scope.

How Traditional and Agile Marketing Differ
Key differencesAgile marketing also reduces the need for extensive—and often useless—documentation/proposals etc.
Regular reporting ensures that marketing centres around activities that work.

Key Considerations
‣ Ensure your team is well educated on agile
‣ Start with an experiment with one team, or one project
‣ Prepare campaigns in both formats, to see how they would differ
‣ Don’t obsess over tools to begin with, just use a wall and cards
‣ Define your go-to-market themes and data points you can track to report against them
![Page 43: Introduction to Agile Marketing](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022062320/55c4c5f8bb61eb7b708b470e/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
Identifying Go To Market Themes
‣ Rather than dictating exact activities, provide a vision of what you want your team/campaign to focus on
‣ Develop a reporting tool that provides you with that feedback loop
‣ Review the GTM themes at each retrospective
‣ They should provide a general direction only, without defining exactly what we do, but remain measurable.
‣ Examples:
‣ “Grow our online community”
‣ “Directly grow revenue from existing traffic”
‣ “Improve relevance of existing marketing channels”

Key Considerations
‣ Agile marketing is a reaction to the transition that other teams have already made in the business
‣ It’s designed to reduce time, failure, documentation and increase success, feedback, happiness
‣ Introduce by providing education on agile
‣ Then, transition one team or campaign over first
‣ Build a feedback loop, and become better at defining success metrics
‣ Change constantly, remember your evolutionary instinct
‣ Don’t worry about the tools and system so much, focus on the underlying values of agile
