The Budget’s on the Line. How CMOs Are Winning the CFO Conversation
Learn how leading CMOs are reframing marketing to speak the CFO’s language, drive predictable outcomes, and secure their budgets in 2025 and beyond.
Reverse engineer your competitors’ strategies to learn what works and gain a competitive advantage.
We’ve had clients make some meaningful strategy shifts based on our analysis of their competitors’ campaigns. For example, one client wasn’t sure whether to invest in buying the rights to a favorable Gartner white paper. But after our analysis showed their competitor was using the paper to drive good results, they bought the rights and used it themselves. Now the Gartner papers are a cornerstone of their content and ad strategy – and they continue to drive good results.
A competitor review for another client demonstrated that the client was leaving “top of funnel” keywords unprotected while their competitors were always appearing. The client has since expanded their strategy to target early stage buyers – and seen great results.
Mimicking your competition is rarely a good strategy, but it’s smart to keep tabs on the competition and learn from their experience. An accomplished advertising practitioner can reverse engineer a competitor’s strategy and make insightful recommendations that can have a dramatic impact on your strategy and results.
None? With the right tools, experience and mindset the investment is minimal and the upside is potentially huge. Everyone should be doing a regular competitive review.
