INSIGHT
💡 Break the Silo: How Demand Squads Can Supercharge Your Growth
Ask yourself this:
How long does it take us to get a basic piece of marketing content approved and published?
How many tests do we run a month to find new growth levers across the customer journey?
Have marketing, sales, and customer success leaders ever made a joint decision about prioritization or tradeoffs?
Not happy with the answers? You’re probably missing out on major growth opportunities (and you are not alone!). According to Boston Consulting Group, the solution has a new name: demand squads.
These agile teams combine all three functions, streamlining decision-making, speeding up execution, and delivering better customer experiences—all without adding new resources. Isn’t that what growth is all about? Learn more

"I’m a software developer/ business guy and I’m looking for some advice. Over the past 2 years I created the mobile game. It’s in a really great place with half a million downloads and a large community of players. However, it’s time to expand further and at more pace. I feel like it’s necessary to bring people in who have great marketing knowledge but I don’t know where to start. If anyone has advice or can share their experience with hiring in marketing I’d love to hear." Join Discussion
