Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 274 companies shows Content Marketing generates 28% of pipeline for MarTech companies at Series C. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
MarTech companies at Series C should allocate 15-25% of growth budget to Content Marketing. Track weekly, evaluate monthly, pivot quarterly. The winning rhythm is 2-week sprints with clear hypotheses.
