Episode highlights
“I believe that still people are struggling with their investments, their money, their payments, their savings, and Fintech is the solution to this problem.” – 8:10 – Alessandro Onano
“I think all FinTechs have seen this shift this year that, in order to raise really decent rounds of investment, you need to focus on revenue more than ever.” – 12:15 – Amabel Polglase
“We’ve fixed our product journey to allow you to get through it further on the web and on desktop, rather than kind of force people into downloading the app. That’s been that’s been very useful for us and liberated us from constantly worrying about attribution.” – 17:05 – Abba Newbery
“When you become a CMO, your stakeholders become non-marketing people so that has been probably the most shocking stuff. So you need to change the way you deal with them because they don’t speak your language.” – 19:20 – Alessandro Onano
“The rate at which businesses are becoming BCorps, I think we are in a situation where we need to make sure that it does not become greenwashing. It is an incredibly difficult piece of certification to get. I worry that the more it does get used in marketing, we’ll end up in a situation where people stop believing what you say, because so many people have said it.” – 27:35 – Abba Newbery
“One of the things we did at Habito is dispense with CVs, and only recruited through competencies, through a series of questions that we thought were relevant to the role. You literally had no idea, you were completely blind to whether they even had any marketing experience. That was fantastically interesting for us.” – 32:35 – Abba Newbery
“I think we’re all feeling the pressure of a possible recession, every company is. There’s not going to be as much growth and marketing spend next year, so adopting a data driven marketing strategy, and really ensuring that every effort is as impactful as possible, are the main challenges of 2023. ” – 37:30 – Amabel Polglase
