Show Notes

How can small brands grow without massive budgets? David and Peter break down the big questions for CMOs, marketers, and startup founders — and tackle Byron Sharp's How Brands Grow head on.

They examine what applies to small brands, what doesn't, and why that distinction matters more than most practitioners realise. A practical conversation about bending the rules correctly.

You need to bend the rules correctly and you apply the principles, you make a shitload of money.

— Peter Kiefer

Reach is quite important because if I have to choose between reaching two people once or one person twice, I will always advocate for the two people once.

— Peter Kiefer

I would start with one channel, preferably the channel where most of my consumers are already in.

— Peter Kiefer

So, a good analogy to this is that if you look at an influencer and look at what they're doing right now, it's not what got them there. But the principles of their best practice of their best posts still apply to your posts, but maybe you don't have the capabilities, the same editing suite, the same camera to afford to even get to the same level of content.

— David Göz
