Episode Details

When done right, paid spend is like throwing gasoline on the flames of what’s working in your marketing. Done wrong – it’s just a huge waste of time and money.

In this episode, Dave Gerhardt hosts an live session with John Short, CEO of Compound Growth Marketing (CGM), and Kym Parker, SVP of Media Strategy at CGM, who walk through tried and true strategies they’ve built from managing over $50 million in paid spend.

They also cover:

• How to choose which strategy is best for you and exactly how to target the right ICP
• The three keys to successful paid media, like setting up actionable reporting
• How to identify how much you can spend for leads/account at each stage of the sales and marketing funnel
