Psychographics

Values
Experimentation velocityFull-funnel visibilityIncrementality over last-clickScalable processes over heroics
Motivations
  • Proving incrementality of marketing spend
  • Building a growth engine that works without them
  • Mastering the post-iOS14 attribution landscape
  • Getting promoted to CMO
Frustrations
  • iOS privacy changes destroyed attribution models
  • Siloed data between acquisition and retention teams
  • A/B testing infrastructure is brittle or manual
  • Leadership wants certainty in inherently uncertain experiments
Personality Type

Analytical but creative. Runs experiments weekly. Comfortable with ambiguity but needs a framework to make decisions. Builds systems, not campaigns.

🎯

Buying Triggers

  • iOS/privacy change invalidates current attribution model
  • Company expanding from DTC-only to omnichannel (retail, wholesale)
  • Growth rate decelerating despite increased spend
  • New VP/CMO arrives and wants to rebuild the growth stack
  • Current tool vendor gets acquired and product direction changes
🛑

Common Objections

  • Needs to run a 30-day pilot before committing
  • "How do you handle cross-device and cross-channel attribution?"
  • Integration with existing stack (Shopify Plus, Klaviyo, Meta, Google)
  • Concerned about data accuracy compared to current imperfect solution
  • "My team is already using 12 tools — convince me to add a 13th"
