In this episode Ryan shares with us why we have to approach marketing with a business mindset. He tells us that we have less control than we think and that marketing leaders have to be aware of that. We learn a few things about customer research, including how it impacts our approach to business and if the way we spend money makes sense.
Ryan makes a great point about customer research: it's not about the questions you ask, but about the insights you want to get. Businesses face problems, but if you understand why the problem exists in the first place, then you can build a stronger connection with your audience.
