In this episode of the Perpetual Traffic podcast, Ralph Burns and Lauren Eve Petrullo discuss the importance of strategy in digital marketing, emphasizing that it's the "oil" that drives the "conversion engine." They highlight that strategy, dictated by the overall goal, involves determining the right mix of tools to achieve objectives, using a recent client example to illustrate how organic content creation can be a better initial strategy than paid ads for businesses with limited budgets. Lauren shares Mongoose Media's post-hire strategy document, which helps align goals, budgets, and tactics, and they delve into a specific campaign strategy for a webinar, detailing key performance indicators (KPIs), budget allocation across different Meta campaigns, and the importance of clear communication and alignment between strategy, media buying, and client success management. The discussion also covers the necessity of setting realistic expectations, understanding the customer journey, and the role of email and chatbots in a comprehensive marketing strategy.
