Manage episode 430158036 series 3436359
In our March Expert Session, Chris Walker was joined by Navattic’s Natalie Marcotullio to explore the nuanced strategies around leveraging influencers and advisors within marketing strategies. As a topical issue amidst the dynamic terrain of B2B marketing, particularly within LinkedIn circles, their conversation sheds light on the practical implementation and tangible benefits of such programs.
Natalie explains the conception and execution of Navattic’s Advisor Program, and discusses the unique balance between strategic advisement and influencer advocacy, stressing the importance of aligning such programs with a company's ICP. She succinctly clarifies the program's structure that not only encompasses promotional endeavors but also heavily relies on strategies that guide the product's market trajectory. Further, she lays out their compensation structure and the significant role that direct revenue sharing, alongside monthly payments, plays in cultivating a robust, engaged advisory board.
Key insights are revealed into the essential elements of nurturing these advisor relationships. This includes maintaining a manageable number of advisors, gauging direct business referrals, appreciating the value of these advisors' strategic insights as much as their promotional influence, and the critical need for multifaceted measurement to capture true ROI.
