Business Building

With the rapid expansion of digital marketing channels, marketers have to adapt by broadening their skill sets. While having a single area of expertise was once the norm, in the modern market, the norm simply won’t cut it. As growth expectations increase and budgets shrink, brands lean toward T-shaped marketers. Why? Having a team of 30 specialist marketers on board isn’t just impractical, it’s not strategic either. 

Having a handful of marketers with deep expertise in two or three key areas could significantly increase your return on investment (ROI). Not only does it reduce costs, but having this level of versatility at the core of your marketing team is invaluable. Here why.

End users are constantly looking for better versions of the product they know and love. To meet this demand, businesses must grow and adapt. This means consistently testing new ideas and exploring fresh ways to refine products. Without regular product experimentation, it’s impossible to stay relevant or discover what truly resonates with your target market.

When we think about the evolution of how organizations go to market, there haven’t been two practices that have gained more glory in such a short period of time than the subjects of this article. Their purpose? Driving revenue growth. Their names? ABM (Account Based Marketing) and RevOps (Revenue Operations).
