It's amazing how one (relatively) simple innovation can change everything... 🤯 For us, at Growth Division, experimentation has always been a big part of the way we operate. Over years of trial and error, we were able to get the experimentation process down to a 'T' (or, so we thought)... 👀 Then comes 2023, where AI started taking the world by storm, we began thinking of ways we could use this new innovation to our own benefit. From this, we birthed the idea of our new AI experimentation board, and, let me tell you, it's been an absolute game-changer! 🙌 What started as something we developed for our own puposes (i.e. Growth Division) ended up becoming something much larger, to the point where, now, we currently have a number of clients enrolled on a beta-testing phase for this tool. The image below is a reflection of our usual experimentation process at Growth Division, but, as you can see, there is a clear use-case for our new tool throughout the process. 👇 We have now seen improvements in not only simplifying the process of growth experiments and making it more efficient, but also we have got the whole team on board to actually experiment more in their channels! 🎯 I'm excited to see what more we can do to improve this tool and help other startups amplify their impact through strategic experimentation. Watch this space... as we're launching later this year. DM me if you're interested in the maybe getting early access! 😃 Alternatively, visit: https://lnkd.in/d52ipp7p #GrowthDivision #AIExperimentation #GrowthStrategies

Rafael shared insights on using AI to drive a product-led growth strategy for both. For startups, he emphasized the power of data from marketing experiments and user engagement to refine product fit. For companies with an established market, he stressed the importance of building awareness and optimizing conversions, focusing on users already engaging with the product.

🚀 Exciting Times in Innovation 🚀 I'm thrilled to share that I'm currently working on a POC model combining GenAI with real-time analytics. One fine day, my department head called me into his office and announced that Xerago is hosting an Innovation Initiative, and our Digital Analytics team is participating. I was one of the two people chosen to represent our department. It was an overwhelming honor to be recognized for such an innovation activity. The real joy lies in the opportunity to bring our fantasies to life! Naturally, I jumped at the chance, grateful for the trust placed in me. My department head made it clear: "We're not aiming to win this competition. Instead, let this be a powerful learning experience. Understand what it takes to turn a fantasy into a market-ready product." I loved that mindset. Having a mentor who values growth over results is a true blessing. Our team started brainstorming and came up with seven ideas we believed were fresh and unique. However, during the first review, we realized none of our ideas would work in the real market. This taught me an invaluable lesson: not everything in our minds is feasible. It takes deep research and an understanding of current trends to identify what is truly needed and innovative. Then, a breakthrough moment occurred while talking to our Innovation mentor: "What if our innovation could save time, energy, and money for our clients?" This became the foundation of our project. We presented our idea, problem statement, and theoretical solution. The panel believed in our concept. After extensive discussions about the technical architecture, we began working on our prototype. We're now on our fourth iteration, as the first three didn't work out. This journey has been a profound learning experience. We've faced daily failures, tough moments, and discouraging setbacks. But the fantasy product in our minds kept us going. It inspired us to explore new directions, think outside the box, and ultimately achieve our vision. Curious about what we built? Stay tuned! Our panel will judge our project in front of our colleagues on July 3rd, 2024, at 3 PM. With fingers crossed, we hope it works as we envisioned! I'll share more details post-July 3rd. This could be a significant leap. I'm so happy to share this journey with you all today. 🌟 #Innovation #GenAI #RealTimeAnalytics #Xerago #DigitalAnalytics #GrowthMindset

Veryyy excited to share a new case study w/ the team at Siena AI ⚡ Siena is reshaping the future of autonomous CX in real-time. Since launching, they've helped high-growth ecommerce brands like K18, MUD\WTR, Verb, immi, Crossnet, Everyday Dose, and Four Sigmatic automate CX across channels. They also recently closed on a $4.7 million round of funding from a killer roster of investors - including Sierra Ventures, Pari Passu Ventures, Spacestation Investments, Village Global, and dozens of high-profile ecomm angel investors. As Siena ramped up its GTM motion, their team (Lisa Popovici and co) reached out to Verbatim as a content x marketing partner to rapidly generate demand. Here's what happened: 1) Challenge After launching in June 2023, Siena quickly began scaling up to meet rising demand, which posed a delicate hurdle to overcome. Without a complete content team at her disposal, Lisa juggled various responsibilities that made it challenging to generate valuable social proof swiftly. While she saw the opportunity to create this content independently, she wanted customer success stories that appropriately reflected Siena’s capabilities for human-like interactions. That’s when she found Verbatim. 2) Solution Verbatim took charge of the case study lifecycle from end-to-end, jumping from obtaining permissions and making introductions to conducting interviews and distilling customer wins into powerful social proof. This deeply embedded partnership alleviated the burden on Siena's resources, ensuring their team could concentrate on reviewing and refining the material for publication - as well as focusing their time on product, customers, and hiring. 3) Results + 30% increase in customer count + 10x case studies shipped in 60 days In Siena's words: “What I loved about working with Verbatim was that everything is insanely fast. Verbatim makes everything very concise, structured, and on point when there are countless ways to deviate. They owned the content process from start to finish, helping us inform customers on what to expect from our platform.” Check out the full case study here: https://lnkd.in/eshZCyDY
