Welcome to Marketing In Action (MIA)
Practical marketing examples, templates, and frameworks from Growth & Product Marketing leaders to tilt the odds better in your favor.
Marketing is frustrating because we're trying to influence human behavior, and there are multiple variables that are out of your control. Chances are, even if you do everything right, it simply may not work.
In the last 6+ years, I’ve been a 9x first marketing hire or a solo marketer in both bootstrapped and funded startups. Here’s what I’ve struggled with:
📊 Finding reliable data to benchmark against other companies to understand how I'm doing.
📑 Finding ready-to-go templates that were truly actionable to set up my function or execute a project.
📈 Finding reliable marketing and growth frameworks that I could leverage for short- and long-term wins.
🔍 Finding the signal in the noise of information to figure out which resources are truly valuable.
So I decided to solve the problem for myself and thousands of marketers and founders struggling in the same shoes.
Marketing In Action is the go-to source for actionable marketing templates and frameworks that you can implement right away, with Notion, Google Docs, and Google Sheets templates that I create and share in every issue.
It’s the resource I wish I had when I first started out. And now you can have it too.
