Recently, we have published the Marketing Master Map<\/span><\/strong><\/a>, our new developed growth framework that supports mobile marketers in their day-to-day work to plan their full-stack mobile marketing.<\/p>\n

To better show mobile marketers how they can benefit from the Marketing Master Map, we brought together our Berlin Mobile Marketing & Growth Meetup group and hosted a virtual Mobile Growth Talk. Together, our CEO Christian Eckhardt and mobile analyst and influencer Peggy Anne Salz shared hands-on insights on how to apply the framework as well as how to advance with mobile growth strategies in 2021.<\/p>\n

In case you missed it, here\u2019s a short recap of what has been discussed and Christian\u2019s view on the Marketing Master Map.<\/p>\n

 <\/div>\n

Why common marketing frameworks fall short<\/h2>\n

Marketing frameworks are familiar, but that also means they have been around for a long time – often without any updates for our modern context. After taking a long hard look at existing frameworks, Christian says the Customlytics team found a few problems that stood out. First and foremost is that they fail to offer a holistic view of today\u2019s marketers\u2019 needs. They may look at the lifecycle up until the first transaction. Others only start after the acquisition of a new user. If your framework only looks at part of the picture, you are missing out on essential data.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why, Christian says, Customlytics designed the maximum estimate to cover the whole funnel, following customers from the awareness stage through their transaction histories and on to becoming loyal users. With a fuller picture of the customer lifecycle, you can gather an understanding of LTV and other vital metrics.<\/p>\n

Christian also says that existing marketing frameworks were too generic and not specific to mobile and often lacked specificity.<\/p>\n

Closing the loop with the Marketing Master Map<\/h2>\n

Being an effective marketer in the digital age means understanding your customer in detail. But even with more data available than ever before, marketers don\u2019t always have a handle on their funnel.<\/p>\n

\u201cI always had the feeling, also from working in companies, of course, in performance marketing or online marketing that sometimes when you look at stuff for too long – like a specific marketing channel for too long – you kind of tend to forget how the actual user flow looks,\u201d <\/em>says Christian. \u201cAnd you’re so focused on, you know, making this click-through rate 0.5% better and making your Facebook carousel perform 2% better in…that you kind of tend to forget that there’s actually a big, a much bigger space and also many more people in the company and they’re working on the same goal actually – which is obviously bringing users to convert, bringing used to come back.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

The Marketing Master Map helps guide marketers along that road, defining these stops along the way.<\/p>\n

    \n
  • Customer journey <\/strong>– Every marketer is familiar with the customer journey but what you may not have realized is that as your customers move further along in their journey, it takes less effort to keep them. Learn how to identify the point in your customer journey when user commitment increases, and you can stop the \u201chard-sell.\u201d\n<\/li>\n
  • Advertising strategy <\/strong>– Matching your message to the buyer\u2019s stage is imperative to success in the digital age. Christian sees many marketers getting ahead of themselves and talking about USP when they should be building basic awareness, and as a result, they lose customers. He says: \u201cIt’s not even something that you have to talk about at all.  But if you do, then it has to be in the evaluation phase.\u201d\n<\/li>\n
  • Channels <\/strong>– In a multi-channel world, it can be hard to know where to put your budget. Christian has advice for cash-strapped marketers looking to make the most impact. Hint: ASO may be costly upfront, but those dollars go a long way as only minor adaptations are needed down the line. Not all channels are relevant for each app but Christian says: \u201cIf you don\u2019t get your ASO right and you scare people off in your app store appearance, you will have a very hard time converting anybody into even making the first purchase.\u201d
    Also, it really depends on the stage of the App Marketing lifecycle and which channel(s) to focus on.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Departments <\/strong>– Every department is important, but you need one function at every step of the journey: business intelligence (BI). Why? Christian explains: \u201cSimply because we always need data. Without data, we will not be able to even understand how a user is moving along in the different steps of the marketing lifecycle.\u201d BI informs your CRM and when it comes to apps, CRM needs to be built into the app from the very beginning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n
      • Technologies <\/strong>– Technology is a crucial player in the quest to move customers from acquisition to advocacy. When you use it properly, your tech stack and data can help you identify churn before it starts by allowing you to determine when your users\u2019 needs aren\u2019t being met and are in danger of abandoning your app. Side note from Christian: \u201cDon\u2019t panic if you\u2019re focusing on the technologies mentioned in the map and realize that you\u2019re missing some as a small startup. This is absolutely normal – such a setup is complicated, needs a lot of manpower, resources, and hence money. You may find such complete setup at bigger companies at some point but keep in mind: everything big starts small.\u201d<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
