Ehsan's Growth Commentary
The data from 150 companies shows Influencer Marketing generates 38% of pipeline for SaaS companies at Growth. But only when implemented with discipline. Scale what works, kill what does not. No emotional attachment to channels.
For 200-500 people teams: assign one person to own Influencer Marketing end-to-end. Shared ownership means zero accountability. Hire a specialist with industry experience.
