TECHNICAL MARKETING IS THE PRICE OF ADMISSION

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Michael King (@iPullRank) Founder, iPullRank

This is the stock market as most of us know it.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

When you think of the stock market, you think of guys like this.IPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

Really, this is the stock market as it actually exists today.IPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

For years traders felt like the markets “weren’t the markets" anymore, but didn’t know why.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

It wasn’t until “flash crash” of May 6, 2010 that brokers really started to understand.IPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

ROBOTS HAD TAKEN OVER THE MARKETS

Or rather high frequency trading algorithms did

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

The SEC implemented Reg NMS to require bid distribution across multiple exchangesIPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

LATENCY CREATES ARBITRAGE OPPORTUNITIESHigh Frequency Traders capitalize on the microsecond latency between trades

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Front Running with HFT

Exploiting the latency between trades, they could trade against you before your original trade went through.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

THAT’S RIGHT. THEY “GROWTH HACKED” THE STOCK MARKET

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

These people embraced technology and created an opportunity in a fragmented marketplaceIPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

…while other brokers were at the mercy of technology.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

This was the forceful evolution of Wall Street.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

MARKETING HAS THE SAME EXACT PROBLEM

1

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

This is Where We’re At

Now is the time to find the crevices in the market to see outsized returns.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

We’re Not Ready for Right Now...

Most marketers feel that their team is not ready to handle today’stechnology.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

We’re Not Maximizing

Most people are using their marketing technology just for email marketing.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

How About the IoT?

So where does that leave marketing for the upcoming explosion of the Internet of Things?

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

It leaves you right here. Not ready for what hit you.IPULLRANK.COM @

IPULLRANK

We All Agree IoT is Next

Senior marketers agree that IoT is the next big thing, but there’s a disconnect with current channels and technology.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

…But Few Are Ready

We are on the verge of atechnological revolution that marketers are not ready to capitalize on.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Technical Expertise Not Needed?

Marketers marketing to marketers want you to believe that technicalexpertise is not a requirement.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

HAVE YOU HEARD OF JAVASCRIPT?JavaScript MVW frameworks have made content accessibility a little more difficult in recent years.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

ANGULAR’S GROWTH IS A KEY REASON WHY

SEO is more technical than ever before, actually.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

“NO IMPLEMENTATIONS UNTIL 2017”And still you are at the mercy of technology and your development team.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

SECRET: NOTHING IS EVER THAT HARD.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Developers are seen as magicians so they get away with a lot because you don’t understand what they do.

This is exactly why “growth hackers” are eating your food.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

The New Normal

Companies like Facebook only hire technical marketers. This is fast becoming the new normal.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT ADWORDSSCRIPTS?Did you know some marketers automatically make their PPC bids change based on the weather?

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

EVER RETARGET THE WRONG PERSON?Did you know that’s easily solved on the frontend multiple different ways?

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

EVER WANTED TO RETARGET JUST ONE PERSON?

Cookie pools have minimums, but I solved that with a few lines of code.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Did You Know Your Ad Network Will Like to You?If you’re not savvy enough to figure it out, you could be wasting big portions of your budget. h/t @willcritchlowhttps://medium.com/@robleathern/the-mobile- video-ad-lie-938a6de51367

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Does Programmatic Scare You?

The programmatic ad marketplace is not much different from high frequency trading. Are you ready?

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

THIS IS NOT ABOUT LEARNING TO CODE

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

It’s about understanding possibilities and communicating effectively with your team to capitalize on them

OH, You’re Still Siloing Your Teams?Despite how ineffective it is, companies still take an assembly line approach where marketing and development don’t interact

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

The modern marketing team must have developers on it.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

Of big firms now have a chief marketing technologist. This is good news.

STAY CURIOUS ABOUT YOUR TECHNOLOGY

Change the Perception

Marketers are OK with not knowing how things work which makes developers dismiss you.

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

“Tools must shift from lines of code to declarative tools that allow business analysts to drag and drop processes, and users to compose apps rather than code them.”

IPULLRANK.COM @ IPULLRANK

No Code is MarTech’s Best Trend
