Misalignments and pain points of being a growth leader (expect the unexpected).
One of the many touch points I geeked out on with episode 8 of the podcast with my guy Andrew Capland (of Delivering Value). We also talk about:
✅ What a growth leader/head of growth actually is and why it’s a growing need for most businesses✅ The common pain points, challenges and situations you’ll likely face as a growth leader✅ His approach to mentoring and coaching Head of Growths and why it’s such a high-pressure role (and what to do about it)✅ Why companies shouldn’t even think about hiring a head of growth without product-market-fit (110% agree with this!)✅ Ways to alleviate misalignment and comms issues with cross-functional teams

Mobile app marketing is a topic and skill I became widely interested in after consulting with Audible back in 2022 (using paid channels to scale free-trial signups!) - this was my first introduction to the world of User Acquisition/Mobile Measurement Partners (MMP) and App Marketing in general. I didn’t realise there was a whole world, community and movement in the area of the economy AND marketing.I then transitioned into working full-time at Circl as a UA/Growth Manager and rapidly learned all I could about full-funnel growth using levers beyond UA/ASO.I then started to see posts from David Vargas on my LinkedIn feed and saw different approaches to A/B testing, optimising performance marketing campaigns and general good to knows about the different ad networks/SKAN/privacy thresholds.For today’s podcast (Episode 5), we have the legend himself and it was truly an honour to have this discussion with him - we geek out and expand on all the following:- His background and how he got into the world of mobile app marketing and working for Splitmetric and AppRadar- The difference between User Acquisition and App Store Optimisation (& why one is more scalable than the other)- Approaches to SKAN 4.0 (Store Kit Ad Network) & Meeting Data Thresholds- The best UA/ASO tools, resources and ways to scale apps, even if it's for FREE- User quality differences between iOS/Android users (hint: Apple’s are good for you)- How AI will disrupt app marketing, especially the management of App Store Optimisation (this is already happening) Chapters00:00 Introduction01:43 User Acquisition and ASO05:28 Career Journey in Marketing11:53 Transparency in Marketing15:18 Navigating SKAN 4.023:35 Defining User Acquisition26:33 User Acquisition Channels26:55 Monetization Strategies for Apps28:40 Mobile Measurement Partners (MMPs)31:08 Free Attribution Solutions33:30 iOS vs. Android User Quality34:43 Splitmetrics and AppRadar37:26 User Acquisition and ASO Tools44:40 Advice for Aspiring App Marketers47:24 Future Predictions48:50 ConclusionShow Noteshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/davidvargasmontiel/My most viewed video on app marketing: https://youtu.be/uVZ69fQPHdM?si=L0LRqLYcSVsQxXih https://splitmetrics.com/https://appradar.com/https://developer.apple.com/documentation/storekit/skadnetwork/ https://www.applovin.com/https://liftoff.io/https://unity.com/https://www.adjust.com/https://www.singular.net/https://tenjin.com/https://amplitude.com/https://mixpanel.com/https://appmasters.com/https://www.asoebook.com/ (affiliate!?)https://phiture.com/https://www.appsflyer.com/https://firebase.google.com/https://www.apptweak.com/en #UserAcquisition #AppsFlyer #MMP #MobileMeasurementPartner #ASO #SKAN #MobileAppMarketing

Crowdfunding is a new way for founders and marketers to approach launching and promoting a business in a less risky way. With tools like LaunchBoom, IndieGoGo and Kickstarter, turning a business idea, without needing external funding OR lots of external resources, becomes a lot easier.
In this episode, I interview Fahhad Mustafa, who is a digital marketing expert that specialises in all things crowdfunding (strategy, paid campaigns, email marketing and landing page creation). Teaser: he also has an MBA in marketing, so he has both practical AND formal knowledge - lots of goldmines here, as always, enjoy 🙏
