Commercialisation conceptualisation
During the initial stages of the project, you should spend time understanding the customer: their wants, needs and, what motivates them — whether intrinsic or extrinsic by nature.
Define the product messaging and come up with a value proposition that clearly defines how the product features will benefit the customer. Getting the value proposition to stand out requires a combination of relevance, context, and education. It’s important to acknowledge that even if your value proposition is spot on, it might only resonate with a subset of your audience.
After the product launches, keep a close eye on data, especially around user behaviour, so you can make changes according to the feedback you receive. You should constantly be asking what worked, what didn’t and why. The onus is on you to keep up with the latest tech trends and tools to perform at your best.
Lessons learned
Even when you plan everything to the last detail, it doesn’t always go to plan. That’s when the agile approach kicks in, as you can pivot quickly without too much impact on the project. Fast, lightweight iterations are the key.
You need to love what you do — the variety, the fast-paced environment and the challenges. No day will be the same. Marketing for startups is about helping people grow and thrive. At the Delta, team culture is important to us, as is the constant drive to improve and learn, while having fun in the process!
