Growth Channel is a SaaS for personalised marketing planning. We work with marketers, startups,CMOs and agencies. With Growth Channel, a user fills in a short form about their campaign, based on which, Growth Channel identifies their micro-segment and instantly shares a complete personalised marketing plan. It covers everything from strategy considerations and campaign activation ideas, to distribution channels, best practices, KPIs and content templates. The more precise user information - the more accurate and detailed the recommendations will be.
Creating a marketing plan takes days and weeks to conduct. And if you’re not a marketer, you’re either guessing or spending $1k-50k outsourcing.
By applying AI and machine learning, we reduced the cost of a marketing plan from $1k-$50k down to just $99, and from days and weeks to just minutes.

• 37% OF MARKETERS SEEK EFFICIENCY AND AGILITY IN THEIR MARKETING OPERATIONS (FORRESTER)
• MARTECH SPACE IS OVERPOPULATED, YET THERE ISN’T A COMPREHENSIVE SOLUTION TO SUPPORT MARKETERS IN THEIR
PLANNING PROCESSES. THEY STILL USE SPREADSHEETS, PEN AND PAPER (CUSTOMER INSIGHT)
• MARKETERS SPEND ON AVERAGE 60 HOURS FOR MARKETING RESEARCH AND PLANNING, COSTING THEM $1000-$10000

CURRENT PROBLEMS OF THE MARTECH SPACE

4. THE PROBLEM
THE RISE OF UNSTRUCTURED DATA
▸ IDC predicts that the Global
Datasphere will grow from 33
Zettabytes (ZB) in 2018 to 175 ZB by
2025.
▸ 80-90% of data will be unstructured. It
is simply no longer humanly possible
to aggregate, let alone analyse, the
unfathomable quantities of data
involved in running a business in the
digital age. (1)

5. AS THE INFLUX OF DATA CONTINUES GROWING UNCONTROLLABLY, THE IMPLEMENTATION
OF MACHINE LEARNING IN MARKETING CAMPAIGNS WILL BECOME EVEN MORE RELEVANT
WHEN IT COMES TO STRIKING UP ENGAGING CONVERSATIONS WITH CONSUMERS. INDEED,
IT COULD BE SO INTEGRAL THAT SPENDING AS A WHOLE ON COGNITIVE AND ARTIFICIAL
INTELLIGENCE SYSTEMS COULD REACH A WHOPPING $77.6 BILLION BY 2022, ACCORDING
TO THE INTERNATIONAL DATA CORPORATION. COMPANIES LIKE BEN & JERRY’S, MAZDA AND
SEPHORA HAVE ALREADY RECOGNIZED THE POSITIVE IMPACT THAT MACHINE LEARNING
CAN HAVE ON THEIR BRANDS, INCLUDING HIGHER ENGAGEMENT RATES AND INCREASED
ROI. OTHER MARKETERS WILL LIKELY SOON BE FOLLOWING THEIR LEAD.

6. THE PROBLEM
DAY-TO-DAY MARKETING CHALLENGES
▸ As Forrester’s “TechRadarTM: Marketing And
Advertising Technology, Q1 2016” report puts it,
today’s advertisers must simultaneously dedicate
their energy to “brand storytelling, audience-
based targeting, insights from customer data,
personalisation, and customer experience,” all
across a myriad of new media channels and
devices.
▸ 6% of marketers believe their current tools
and approaches are sufficient to deal with
the complexities of modern marketing
▸ 38% of marketers are currently delivering
contextual marketing across digital and
offline channels
▸ 34% of marketers cited difficulty translating
customer insights into actionable outcomes
▸ 35% of marketers cite difficulty
understanding how various channels
contribute to conversions as one of the
biggest challenges they face
6
8. THE PROBLEM
BOTH BRANDS AND AGENCIES ALREADY APPLY AI TECHNOLOGIES BUT STILL EXPERIENCE DRAWBACKS
▸ Brands and agencies want to increase value of marketing investment through AI adoption, but have concerns over communication
limitations and lack of control.
▸ Marketer adoption of AI-powered marketing has shot up from 43% in 2016 to 88% today, reflecting AI’s increasing advances in
marketing technology (MarTech) and marketers’ need for better decisions, greater productivity, and faster execution. However, most
marketers deploy AI to support tactical campaign tasks in an assistive capacity, rather than collaborating with autonomous AI.
▸ Just 26% of those who have adopted an AI-driven marketing solution describe it as AI-autonomous, or collaborative in practice.

9. THE PROBLEM
COMPANIES SEEK RESOURCE OPTIMISATION
▸ While 86% of respondents say the success of their marketing
programs depends on the ability to deliver personalized marketing
across channels, devices and customer lifecycle stages, only 50% or
less say they feel “very well supported” by their current technology in
meeting their top objectives, including:
▸ Gaining direct control over digital media buying (only 50% feel
“very well supported”)
▸ Improving the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns (49%)
▸ Improving customer experience (43%)
▸ Increasing customer retention (39%)
▸ Gaining efficiency and agility in their marketing operations (37%)
▸ Achieving a better return on marketing spend (36%)
▸ Increasing customer acquisition (33%)

marketing) at a pace of wind. We do not want to miss the
opportunity.
▸ “Corporate investment in artificial intelligence is predicted to becoming a $100
billion market by 2025." - HBR
