• Emerging channels: Identifying and recommending new channels to test (e.g. Reddit ads, ChatGPT ads, G2 ads) and running pilots from a scoped test plan through to a clear scale or kill decision. Reporting openly on the results and limitations of each so we can make informed investment decisions.
• Reporting and analysis: Producing monthly paid reports covering spend, pipeline, and ROAS, using HubSpot and Dreamdata to show what’s driving Leads, MQLs, SQLs and revenue.
