Why We Exist
Too many Business Decisions Are Made Based on Opinion, Instead of Research, Data, & Experiments.
The problem is, everyone has an opinion. But those opinions mean nothing if they’re not backed by research & data, continuously measured, and often challenged.
Because in order to INVEST in marketing and SCALE any business with CONFIDENCE, there are 3 things every business needs:
Have an idea? Run it as an experiment. It will give you the motivation to explore your idea more aggressively, the freedom to fail without judgement, and an opportunity to learn more than any other approach.
-
Research – You need a process for gathering data and information about every decision BEFORE you make it.
-
Measure – You need to know what to track, where to track, and how you’re going to use the information that comes out of it.
-
Challenge – You need a process that continuously challenges your business to optimize, improve, and fine-tune your systems.
Have an idea? Run it as an experiment. It will give you the motivation to explore your idea more aggressively, the freedom to fail without judgement, and an opportunity to learn more than any other approach.
