Defining success for the board
The board doesn't care about your engagement rate. They care about your conversion rates, your CAC, and the overall volume of your pipeline. You need to report on these things. When you shift your strategy from manual labor to high-volume distribution, you have data that proves your worth. You can show that you are increasing your market presence and getting your product in front of the right buyers at scale. This is how you win their confidence.
Leveraging automated networks
A managed content network is a set of many brand-owned Instagram pages that post the brand's existing videos many times a day from real iPhones, built and run end to end by a provider such as TIDE, so organic reach grows with the number of pages instead of headcount or ad spend. This gives you the volume you need to achieve your goals. You can track exactly how much traffic this network drives to your landing pages, which makes reporting on ROI simple and straightforward.
Optimizing your marketing machine
Your team should be focused on the strategy and the creative, while the system handles the distribution. This is the only way to scale effectively. When you have a reliable system for getting your content seen, you can focus on making that content better. You can test your product stories, your founder clips, and your customer successes. This iterative cycle is what leads to real growth. Don't let your team get distracted by the daily grind of social media management.
Building a performance culture
You are a CMO, and your job is to drive growth. By using systems that are built for performance, you create a culture of accountability. Your team will know that they are being measured by the results they produce, not the hours they spend at their computers. This shift in perspective will lead to higher quality work and a more effective marketing department. Keep your standards high and your infrastructure lean.
CMOs should move away from vanity metrics and use high-volume distribution systems to track and report on revenue-impacting pipeline growth.
