Growth Talks: Growth Marketing Strategies & Insights
Key Strategies for Ecommerce Success | Aaron Magness (Full Glass Wine Co, Thistle, Brandless, Betabrand)
"You can’t discount your way into building customer loyalty—you earn it through value and trust." In this episode of Growth Talks, Aaron Magness, SVP of Marketing at Full Glass Wine Co., joins host Krystina Rubino to share his journey from brand builder to ecommerce leader. He breaks down how to adapt your leadership style, leverage data to drive growth, and create personalized shopping experiences that turn first-time buyers into loyal customers.  Aaron also explores the nuances of consumer behavior, the power of trust in brand-building, and the strategies fueling success across multiple wine brands in a competitive online marketplace—drawing from over 20 years of experience building iconic consumer brands like Thistle, Betabrand, Brandless, and Zappos. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Adapt your leadership style: Coach your team to lead from their strengths—not your checklist. Give them the trust and autonomy to own outcomes and scale what can’t be done alone. Empower top talent: Look for people who are great at one thing—not okay at everything. When you plant specialists in the right role, they don’t just grow—they flourish. Leverage data strategically: Don’t just collect data—connect the dots. From segmentation to storytelling, let your insights drive smarter decisions that build trust and loyalty at scale. Build trust through personalization: Know who your customer is—and why they chose you. Use that insight to deliver value that feels tailored, timely, and true to your brand promise. Experiment boldly: Create space for fresh ideas. Set clear expectations, document outcomes, and revisit tests with conviction. The best insights often come from what didn’t work the first time. ⏰ Timestamps 01:16 - Leadership evolution in the marketing industry 06:44 - Understanding consumer preferences 12:07 - Shipping wine vs. other D2C categories 16:39 - The A/B Test: A or B questions 27:09 - Balancing brand storytelling with performance marketing 32:54 - Experience of working across many brands 36:39 - Brand management philosophy 39:09 - Fostering innovation in marketing teams 41:35 - How to use data to drive repeat purchase 44:52 - Providing value over discounts 🔗Mentioned in this episode: Full Glass Wine Co: https://www.fullglass.wine/ Thistle: https://www.thistle.co/ Betabrand: https://www.betabrand.com/ Brandless: https://brandless.com/ Zappos: https://www.zappos.com/ Williams Sonoma: https://www.williams-sonoma.co   👍Did you enjoy this video?

Growth Talks: Growth Marketing Strategies & Insights
Why Marketers Need a Product Mindset | Michael Kaminsky (Recast, Harry’s, Away)
"There’s no magic bullet in marketing—just daily experimentation, measurement, and iteration." In this episode of Growth Talks, Michael Kaminsky, Co-founder of Recast, joins host Krystina Rubino to explore how marketers can rethink the way they measure success. Drawing from his early days at Harry’s, Michael shares how managing a lean media budget sparked his deep dive into media mix modeling and experimentation. He offers insights on how marketers can adopt a product mindset—treating measurement as an iterative process, not a final answer. Learn how ongoing optimization, directional data, and adaptive systems can help brands stretch their budgets, make smarter decisions, and scale effectively across channels. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Embrace uncertainty. No model is perfect—but that’s not the goal. Structured experimentation brings clarity, reveals customer insights, and drives better decisions over time. Last-click attribution is limiting. It favors bottom-of-funnel tactics and short-term wins, while overlooking the long-term impact of brand-building and upper-funnel influence. Media mix modeling is evolving. Smart marketers are moving beyond slow, outdated models—adopting faster, real-time approaches that align more with consumer behavior. Stop overcomplicating measurement. You don’t need perfect data to move forward. Simple directional signals are often enough to guide strategic, timely decisions. Think like a product team. Continuous optimization and experimentation should be built into every marketing plan to stay agile and drive consistent growth. ⏰ Timestamps 00:10 - Intro to Michael Kaminsky 03:26 - From Harry’s to Recast: Why measurement needed a reset 07:21 - The blind spots of last-click attribution 14:34 - Why traditional media mix models fail modern marketers 18:38 - How brands can balance digital and offline measurement 23:37 - The importance of causal inference in marketing analytics 35:24 - The dangers of over-relying on data without strategic intuition 45:27 - Common mistakes brands make in cross-channel measurement 50:46 - The future of marketing measurement and why agility matters 55:46 - How to build a marketing strategy that adapts and scales   🔗Mentioned in this episode: Recast: https://getrecast.com/ Harry’s: https://www.harrys.com/ Away: https://www.awaytravel.com/ Mockingbird: https://hellomockingbird.com/ Rocket Money: https://www.rocketmoney.com/ 👍Did you enjoy this video?

Growth Talks: Growth Marketing Strategies & Insights
Why Authentic Storytelling Matters in Retail | Shruti Khatod (Nutrafol, ThredUp, Macy’s)
"Authenticity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s what makes customers believe in your brand." In this episode of Growth Talks by Right Side Up, Shruti Khatod, VP of Growth Marketing at Nutrafol, joins host Krystina Rubino to discuss the power of authentic storytelling in brand growth. Shruti shares how leveraging real customer stories and choosing the right influencer partnerships have helped Nutrafol build a brand that customers trust and love. She breaks down how to align brand KPIs with performance marketing, measure the true impact of retail strategies, and drive long-term revenue success. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Brand fuels growth. Every channel—TV, social, influencers should reinforce your brand story, not just drive conversions. TV ads take time, but they work. Nutrafol refined their TV strategy over multiple iterations—test, tweak, and secure leadership buy-in for long-term impact. Authenticity isn’t a trend—it’s a trust builder. Real customers, not actors, make the difference. Genuine voices create loyal brand advocates. Diversify your marketing mix. Winning brands blend TV, digital, influencers, and organic marketing to stay agile, scale faster, and meet customers where they are. Go beyond last-click attribution. Successful brands take a full-funnel approach, blending brand KPIs, search trends, and retargeting to track real growth drivers. ⏰ Timestamps 00:10 - Intro to Shruti Khatod 03:26 - How brand and growth work together 07:21 - Connecting brand KPIs to growth marketing  14:34 - Lessons from growing Nutrafol’s TV presence 18:38 - How Meta and TikTok are reshaping performance marketing 23:37 - Why problem-solution messaging resonates 30:55 - Overcoming the limitations of last-click attribution 35:24 - Consumer behavior & growth strategy adjustments  45:27 - Leveraging influencers for long-term brand impact 50:46 - How Nutrafol navigated the TikTok ban scare   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Nutrafol: https://nutrafol.com/ ThredUp: https://www.thredup.com/ Macy’s: https://www.macys.com/   👍 Did you enjoy this video?

In this episode, Sarah shares how her experiences with iconic brands like Burton, Dickies, and Backcountry shaped her perspective on balancing legacy with innovation. She discusses the power of customer insights in shaping marketing strategy, how loyalty programs can drive long-term value, and why brick-and-mortar stores are more than just retail spaces—they’re powerful brand-building tools. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Flash sales are enticing, but long-term loyalty programs deliver sustainable results and build trust. Ditch quick wins for customer loyalty.  Cultural alignment is key. Customers can spot when a brand “chases” trends without staying true to its core. Retail is actually a marketing channel. Brick-and-mortar experiences create unmatched dwell time and brand engagement. Don’t underestimate the in-person experience! Adapt by listening to customer needs and pivot your strategy for sustained relevance. Internal culture drives external impact. When you build a passionate, empowered internal team it fuels better customer experiences. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Sarah Crockett’s career 01:15 Balancing brand evolution with legacy 04:00 The role of authenticity in brand marketing 06:45 Dickies x Sydney Sweeney: When culture meets core values 09:30 Navigating trends without losing your brand’s identity 12:45 Measuring success in loyalty programs 15:30 Evolving the DSW customer experience 20:00 The power of retail as a brand marketing channel 22:15 Internal culture and employee buy-in as growth drivers 25:00 The future of retail and omnichannel strategies 30:00 Sarah’s advice for aspiring marketing leaders 35:00 Closing thoughts on authenticity and growth   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: DSW: www.dsw.com Burton: www.burton.com Dickies: www.dickies.com Backcountry: www.backcountry.com Force of Nature Campaign: www.rei.com/h/force-of-nature 👍Did you enjoy this video?

Growth Talks: Growth Marketing Strategies & Insights
Building Brand Loyalty in D2C Marketing | Preston Rutherford (Chubbies, Loop Returns, Marathon Data)
“Often, brands forget that they’re not just speaking to ‘customers’—they’re talking to real people, like their own friends.”  Preston Rutherford, co-founder of Chubbies and Loop Returns joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to share how his journey from tech startups to building a standout D2C brand was driven by a deep focus on authenticity and community. In this episode, Preston explores the balancing act between brand-building and immediate sales goals, how humor and relatability helped Chubbies cut through the “sea of sameness,” and why creating memorable customer experiences is crucial for long-term loyalty. Now with Marathon Data, he’s helping brands leverage data to better understand their audience while keeping that personal connection front and center.   🗝️ Key Takeaways: Building real connections with your audience is essential; when you treat customers like friends and keep interactions genuine, that authenticity keeps people coming back. While long-term trust drives loyalty, it’s also important to balance brand-building with immediate sales goals so you’re not losing sight of those critical targets. Consistency is key—when customers see the same vibe across your platforms, they recognize your brand and build trust over time. Challenges are opportunities in disguise. Embrace setbacks as a way to fuel new ideas, opening doors you might not have considered before. Look beyond just the numbers and dig into what the data reveals about the customer experience. Creating a real connection goes deeper than metrics alone.   Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Preston Rutherford’s background and pivot from tech to D2C 04:15 Chubbies’ early challenges and lessons learned from failure 07:45 Founding Loop Returns to solve ecommerce pain points 11:50 Building a memorable brand in a crowded D2C space 15:30 Why humor and authenticity are essential to brand identity 19:30 Creating lasting relationships through community over transactions 23:15 Balancing brand trust with short-term growth goals 30:00 Preston’s tips on building brand resilience for the long term 36:00 Final thoughts and advice for future founders   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Chubbies: www.chubbiesshorts.com Loop Returns: www.loopreturns.com Marathon Data: www.marathondataco.com   🤝Connect with Right Side Up Right Side Up is a premium growth marketing agency that has helped more than 1,000+ companies hit their growth goals.

Mastering Brand and Demand Gen in B2B Marketing | Jason Ing (Gusto, AWS, P&G)
► About this Video Jason Ing, Chief Marketing Officer at Gusto, joins Krystina Rubino on Growth Talks to share his journey from B2C marketing with global tech giants like Microsoft and Amazon to leading B2B marketing strategies at Gusto. He explores the balance between brand and demand generation and highlights how storytelling and emotion shape decision-making in the B2B space. Jason also offers a behind-the-scenes look at how Gusto builds trust and brand consistency while providing HR and payroll services to small and medium-sized businesses. 🗝️ Key Takeaways: Start with demand gen marketing to find those short term wins. Then once you’ve mastered product market fit, move onto brand marketing for your long term growth.  When making decisions on where to put your marketing dollars, make sure the ‘feels right’ doesn’t exceed 15-20%—and be sure to keep tabs on paid performance trends at all stages of the funnel after you layer in brand spend.  Creative consistency builds trust AND recall. Be sure to be solid in your “why,” and make sure that everything from ads to customer support align behind that vision. The best B2B marketing creative is based in storytelling. Find a way to blend the emotional and rational.  Qualitative insights go beyond metrics. Listening to customers reveals opportunities that data alone can’t—like the potential impact of placing the niche ad in front of the right audience at the perfect time.

Scaling Growth in the Complex World of Fintech | Simon Vishnevskiy (Credit Genie, Dave, Lyft)
In this episode of Growth Talks, Simon Vishnevskiy, Chief Growth Officer at Credit Genie, sits down with Krystina Rubino to share his experiences and strategies in growth marketing for fintech. With a background that spans gaming, ridesharing, and finance, Simon dives into the unique challenges of marketing within a highly regulated and competitive space.  He discusses the parallels between marketing and gaming, the importance of cross-functional collaboration between product, compliance, and marketing, and the best way  to effectively reach underserved audiences. Simon also explores how to build a strong acquisition strategy from scratch and scale it efficiently over time. 🗝️Key Takeaways: Unlike other industries where a playbook may work long-term, fintech demands continuous reevaluation and dynamic strategies due to changing regulations and customer behaviors. In a highly regulated industry, collaborating closely with your compliance team ensures you can get creative with messaging while avoiding legal issues. Paying attention to product changes may explain swings in KPIs.  Starting with digital channels like TikTok, Meta, and Google is key but, as fintech brands mature, investing in offline channels like podcasts, TV, and radio is crucial for establishing brand equity and trust. To build an effective growth engine, Simon always evaluates 4 key things: tracking and attribution, data analytics, creative output, and lifecycle marketing as key pillars of an effective growth engine. “Day trading,” or short-term optimizations in channel spend, can help maintain an efficient acquisition strategy, while building foundational team roles in MarTech, data analytics, creative, and lifecycle marketing ensure sustainable growth. Leverage platforms like TikTok and DSPs to create ads and videos specifically optimized for their formats, boosting performance without hefty creative costs.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00:00 Introduction to Simon Vishnevskiy 00:04:10 Unique challenges in fintech 00:06:56 Creating a collaborative playbook with product and legal teams 00:13:02 Targeting underserved audiences in fintech 00:16:42 How marketing strategies and channels evolve as fintech brands mature 00:24:00 A/B Test Segment 00:32:54 Managing CAC while scaling acquisition efforts 00:38:12 Key roles to prioritize when building a user acquisition team 00:41:21 Simon's favorite "growth non-hack"   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Credit Genie: www.creditgenie.com Dave: www.dave.com Chime: www.chime.com MoneyLion: www.moneylion.com Coinbase: www.coinbase.com Robinhood: www.robinhood.com   🤝Connect with Right Side Up Right Side Up is a premium growth marketing agency that has helped more than 1,000+ companies hit their growth goals.

Growth Talks: Growth Marketing Strategies & Insights
Building a High Performing Marketing Team | Tyler Elliston (Right Side Up, Eventbrite)
"Curiosity paired with tenacity is a killer combination." Tyler Elliston, the founder of Right Side Up, discusses the ins and outs of marketing leadership and the nuances of building effective marketing teams.  From early-stage startups to late-stage enterprises, Tyler shares insights on the unique challenges and strategies for success at each level. The conversation covers everything from building a marketing team from scratch to balancing in-house talent with external resources like consultants and agencies. 🗝️Key Takeaways: The shift from generalists to specialists is a natural progression as companies grow. Early-stage companies often need versatile employees who can handle multiple tasks, while later-stage companies benefit from specialists in specific channels. Beyond skills and experience, intangibles like curiosity and tenacity are often the differentiators that separate good hires from truly exceptional ones.  The use of Google and Facebook as customer acquisition channels varies at different stages: early-stage companies use them to gather product feedback and refine product-market fit, mid-stage growth companies use them to drive efficient customer acquisition at scale, while enterprise companies focus on incremental optimizations like reducing CAC and increasing volume. External resources, such as freelancers, are becoming increasingly critical for companies that need specialization or want to test new tactics without committing to full-time hires. Aligning on metrics and trusting team members are key to overcoming friction between marketing, product, and sales. Offering flexibility is crucial to attract top-tier talent, especially in a post-pandemic world, where work-life balance and autonomy are highly valued. ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Tyler Elliston, Founder of Right Side Up 01:44 Building a marketing team from scratch 04:52 Intangibles of great talent: passion, curiosity, tenacity 11:32 Balancing autonomy and accountability 18:07 When to use consultants, agencies, or in-house talent 24:04 Challenges in cross-functional collaboration 31:16 Lessons from high-growth startups vs. enterprises 35:39 Why Tyler founded Right Side Up 44:12 Tyler’s favorite growth non-hack 🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Right Side Up: www.rightsideup.com Eventbrite: www.eventbrite.com Equifax: www.equifax.com

Brand Marketing Beyond a Logo | Chiyong Jones (Kajabi, Personal AI, GoodRx)
In this episode of Growth Talks, Chiyong Jones, the VP of Brand Marketing at Kajabi, discusses his approach to building and evolving brand identities for startups and established companies alike.  To build a brand identity that lasts, it’s incredibly important to understand the customer, create a cohesive brand system that remains flexible, and balance creativity with constraints like budget and team size. Chiyong also explores the role of brand in long-term business success, the value of authenticity in influencer partnerships, and the importance of consistency in brand messaging.   🗝️Key Takeaways: When building a brand, it’s incredibly important to have a deep understanding of the customer, their needs, and how the brand is currently resonating with them. This insight informs all subsequent brand decisions and helps ensure that messaging is on target and effective. While consistency in brand messaging and visuals is key to building brand equity, you need to maintain flexibility across different platforms and touchpoints.  Constraints like budget, team size, or time, can actually lead to more creative solutions by forcing teams to focus on what’s truly important and feasible. Brand and growth marketing are complementary strategies, with brand building long-term trust and awareness, while growth marketing drives immediate conversions. The most effective partnerships are ones where creators genuinely align with the brand. Authenticity in these partnerships leads to more meaningful connections with audiences, which is more valuable than just reaching a large number of people. Humor is an underutilized tool in brand communication. When used effectively, it can disarm audiences, make the brand more memorable, and foster a positive emotional connection.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to Chiyong Jones 01:56 Key Steps in Brand Development 03:14 Establishing Brand Identity 06:46 Challenges in Creative Functions 09:49 Testing and Iteration in Branding 15:29 Brand Evolution and Redesign 23:33 Challenges in Measuring Brand Impact 24:15 Tracking Brand Health: Surveys and Signals 27:33 Fun Marketing Game: The AB Test 32:15 Marketing to the Creator Economy 35:45 The Value of Authentic Creator Partnerships 42:03 The Power of Humor in Marketing 43:12 Conclusion and Final Thoughts   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Kajabi: https://www.kajabi.com Personal AI: https://www.personal.ai GoodRx: https://www.goodrx.com Honey: https://www.joinhoney.com

In this episode of Growth Talks, Krystina Rubino interviews Ty Conner, the Senior Director of Growth Marketing Offline at Rocket Money. Ty shares his journey from being a geologist in remote Alaska to becoming a key player in Rocket Money's marketing team. He discusses the foundational decisions and strategies that have propelled Rocket Money to the top of the app store charts, including their rebrand from Truebill.   Ty discusses the importance of data-driven decision-making, explaining how Rocket Money leverages data and utilizes robust measurement techniques such as geo holdout tests and media mix models to scale offline channels like linear TV and out-of-home. Ty offers insights into the balance between digital and offline marketing and the future impact of privacy changes on measurement and strategy.   🗝️Key Takeaways: Utilizing multiple measurement methods, such as surveys and media mix models, can help triangulate data and provide a clearer picture of channel performance. These methods are also crucial in navigating upcoming privacy changes. For out-of-home advertising, prioritizing high dwell time, such as subway ads, can lead to better engagement and more efficient spend due to longer exposure times. A successful marketing team should consist of individuals who are highly curious, data literate, and competitive, ensuring they continually strive for better performance. Brands should focus on optimizing and scaling their core channels before exploring new ones, as there is often untapped potential in existing channels.   ⏰ Timestamps 00:00 Introduction to foundational decisions for scaling 00:34 Importance of data-driven decisions and high data literacy 02:34 Navigating offline channels and measurement challenges 05:00 Ty's career transition from geologist to marketer 08:00 Launching and prioritizing offline channels 10:16 Embracing successful tests, even with 0% ROAS 12:00 Handling digital vs. offline channel diversification 15:00 Overcoming streaming TV measurement challenges 20:00 Cracking out-of-home for growth marketing 22:00 Balancing high traffic and targeted areas in out-of-home advertising 25:00 Using geo holdout tests and media mix models for measurement 30:00 Privacy-resilient measurement methods 32:00 The future impact of privacy changes on offline marketing 35:00 Balancing offline and digital marketing strategies 37:00 Building a strong marketing team with curiosity and competitiveness 40:00 Ty's growth non-hack: improving core channels over testing new ones   🔗 Mentioned in this episode: Rocket Money: www.rocketmoney.com Haus: www.haus.io Recast: www.recast.com

Mike shares his journey through various C-suite roles, the importance of creating and maintaining a vision, and how to balance growth with profitability. He also provides insights into effective marketing strategies for the ever-evolving landscape of DTC and subscription models.   🗝️Key Takeaways: Moving between C-suite roles often involves filling voids within a company and leveraging one's unique skill set to address specific needs. Successful leadership involves setting a clear, long-term vision, and ensuring regular, clear communication to keep everyone aligned and connected to the company's goals. Effective CEOs must balance making informed decisions with the need to act quickly, often without having all the desired data. Growth should always contribute to making the company better. Marginal gains in customer acquisition and retention are essential for sustainable profitability. Leverage a framework like RED—Relevance, Ease, and Distinctiveness—to build a foundation for a strong product and achieve marketing success. Subscriptions can be effective when they align with consistent value creation for customers.
