"Lean Marketing: For best channels, copy, and metrics - experiment.”
Lean Marketing is not about spending less resources on marketing and expecting great results. It is about iterative learning from consumers and understanding their needs early so as to effectively know how to market to them.

1. How and why the traditional marketing funnel is different from the lean marketing funnel
2. How to co-curate/create campaigns with your clients (And learn more about your product in return)
3. How to determine which channels are best for marketing

MARKETING VS PR
WHICH IS BETTER?
Just like lean startup methodology, its about experimentation
What works for one may not work for another
Ideally, it is a good mix of both

Immersion – to understand the client and product / service better
Planning – creating a series of articles for the appropriate news outlets
Differentiation – changing the approach based on industry and company size
Sustainability – long-tail effect that delivers results from mid to long term
TO BE TRULY LEAN, marketing needs to be targeted and flexible. Here is how Bebop

TIMELINE
At least 3 – 6 months or even longer
Real content and not spam
With that expectation, it is easier to
experiment to reach a proper build up
TO SEE TRUE EFFECT AND RESULTS, marketing needs time.

THE PIVOT
Proximity to the “baby” may lead to blinders being on
The final line should be versatile (i.e. Post-Its & Viagra)
Ideas are free, execution is key (i.e. GrabTaxi vs Uber)
Have clear markers for success (i.e no. of signups, paying customers, outlets, etc)
Commit to a direction but be open to quick detours
BUILD, MEASURE and LEARN, experimentation will take place in the middle of your
timeline to find your MVP.

THE LAUNCH
With precise strategy and marketing, limited resources can be maximized
Different strokes for different folks (i.e. soft launch, beta-testing, press release)
Event launches can be great for media, stakeholder and investor experience (i.e.
MyRepublic)
LEADING UP TO D-DAY, where your customers meet your product/service at the end of
the the timeline. With a strong MVP, a good launch can work wonders with traction and
confidence.
