We dive into the 7 values that underpin Agile Marketing, as articulated in the Agile Marketing Manifesto. Since these ideals should guide agile marketing teams in their quest for ongoing improvement, a thorough understanding of what they really mean is crucial.

LEARNING
Maybe there's a better way to
achieve your marketing goals.
How will you know for sure if you
don't experiment?
Don't succumb to death by best
practices.

SILOS
Distribute knowledge freely - no
hoarding allowed.
The customer should be the focus of
all joint marketing efforts.
Strict hierarchies serve neither
customers nor Agility.

BIG BANGS
Agile marketing campaigns evolve in
concert with the audience.
Multi-year marketing plans are right
out.
Adaptive and iterative campaigns =
fewer resources = lower risk = more
leeway to experiment.

PREDICTION
Each campaign should help us
discover something new about our
customers/audience.
Hypotheses are okay, but predictions
that we cling to no matter what are
definitely not.

RIGID PLANS
Yes, agile marketers still have a plan.
It's just flexible.
Modern marketing is complicated. It
can't succeed with a plan behind it.
Just make sure your plan has some
give built in, or it won't survive
contact with reality.

18. #6
FOLLOWING
Don't stick with the plan just
because it's The Plan.
When circumstances change, agile
marketers are prepared to respond in
a meaningful way.
For agile teams, change is a source of
competitive advantage.

LARGE BETS
Small experiments can be completed
faster, leading to rapid iteration.
Agile marketers still release large
campaigns, but usually after they
have data from small experiments to
support them.
