Host regular alignment meetings (i.e. weekly or bi-weekly GTM syncs) to ensure cross-functional teams are on the same page. Create and share a ...Read More

  5. What are the key building blocks in GTM? Which buildings blocks do you prioritize?

    Key building blocks for me are: Market insights (specifically target audience understanding and competitive) Positioning & Messaging Channel mix (across paid, owned and earned channels) Measurement including post-launch optimization Doing this all while ensuring cross-functional alignment and project management involves a lot of orchestration but I always start with Insights and Positioning as well as building a GTM strategy to hit a specific KPI before getting into the other building blocks ...Read More
