@BridgetRandolph
This is me.

@BridgetRandolph
And I have a confession - I’m kind of addicted to
personal development books.
![Page 5: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)

@BridgetRandolph
I’m always trying to figure out how to optimise my resources
- time, money, knowledge - to get the best return
and achieve the
BIG WINS.
![Page 7: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
But for a long time, despite my best intentions,
I didn’t manage to achieve those things.
![Page 8: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And then one day, I read a story about Warren Buffett, a man whom Google tells me is the ‘most successful investor of
the 20th century’.
![Page 9: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)

@BridgetRandolph
Warren Buffett is a businessman, not a productivity guru or a life coach.
![Page 11: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
But his advice stuck with me because it was so surprising but so helpful.
![Page 12: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Warren Buffett is a busy man, and he uses an executive jet service.
And he happened to strike up a friendship with one of the pilots, a man called Mike.
![Page 13: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

![Page 14: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Warren wanted to help Mike achieve his goals, so one day he sat him down and said,
![Page 15: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
“Mike, I’m going to help you achieve your goals. The first step is that you need to write down your 25 biggest goals for your career.”
So Mike did.
![Page 16: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And Warren Buffett said,
“Ok, Mike, now I want you to circle the 5 most important things on that list.”
So Mike did.
![Page 17: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And Warren Buffett said,
“Ok, Mike, now let’s make a plan for how you’re going to achieve those top 5 goals.”
So they did.
![Page 18: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And then Warren Buffett said,
“Ok, Mike, now you’ve got a plan for the top 5. When are you going to work on the rest?”
![Page 19: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And Mike replied,
“Well, they’re all pretty important, I guess I’ll fit them in in my free time.”
![Page 20: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And Warren Buffett said,
“No, you won’t. Those 20 things that didn’t make the top 5: now they’re your ‘Avoid-At-All-Costs’ list.”
![Page 21: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
“Because if they’re not in your top 5, they’re actually just a distraction.”
![Page 22: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And this is why, if I’m honest, the title of my talk is slightly misleading.
Because today I’m not going to talk about budgets and money, or throw a bunch of
stats at you about how quickly mobile media spend is growing or how the next big
trend is apps for smart watches.
![Page 23: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
The reason for this is that often, stats and trends and even budgets themselves
can become a distraction from the Real Questions™:
what are my goals?how should I prioritise?
how do I maximise my limited resources?
![Page 24: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
So instead, what I want to do today is show you how you can apply the principles which
Warren Buffett gave to his pilot Mike --
![Page 25: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
to help clarify your thinking when it comes to creating a marketing strategy and planning your activities for the next 3
months, 6 months, year.
![Page 26: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
So really this talk should be called something like
![Page 28: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Let’s get started.
![Page 29: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
STEP 1Set the right goals
![Page 30: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
The first step in this process is all about figuring out what you want to do.
![Page 31: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Just like Warren Buffett asked Mike to do, in this stage you need to be able to list all
the goals you are hoping to achieve.
![Page 32: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
What we’re trying to get to in this stage is a comprehensive list of:
- all the possible goals that could result in more revenue, and- all the activities that could contribute to achieving each goal.
![Page 33: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
So you should start with the

EXAMPLEMy B2B SaaS client

@BridgetRandolph
EXAMPLEWhat did my client want to achieve?

@BridgetRandolph
The obvious answer is
MORE REVENUE.
![Page 38: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
But at this stage we want to get a bit more granular.
What are the different ways that we could get more revenue?
![Page 39: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Some of the most common ways to grow revenue
● sell more to new people● sell more to current customers (upsell or
increase number of return visits)● upsell customers from one-off purchase to a
subscription/rolling model
![Page 40: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
WHATare you trying to achieve?
For my client, the answer was: more new contracts.
![Page 41: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
But we’re not done. We need to sense check our assumptions by asking the next question:
WHY
![Page 42: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
How many people here have ever had a conversation with a 3 year old?

@BridgetRandolph
Those who have will know that a toddler’s favourite question is
WHY?

@BridgetRandolph
And when you give an answer, they ask
WHY
again.

@BridgetRandolph
So you have your initial list of all the goals you could go after.
![Page 60: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/60.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
Now it gets a bit more tricky.
![Page 61: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/61.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
We have limited resources, so just like Warren did with Mike, we need to narrow it down to our top 1-3 goals.
![Page 62: How To Get The Most Out Of Your Marketing Budget - SIINDA Dublin 2015 [READING VERSION]](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042716/55a857971a28ab6c2d8b4743/html5/thumbnails/62.jpg)
@BridgetRandolph
And this can take a while, but it’s important to invest the time to get this stage right - because it's like steering a ship.
If you set a course that's only 1 or 2 degrees off from where you need to get to, eventually you'll find yourself heading in the completely wrong direction.

We know this from every horror film ever. The main character only has to do one thing - stay on the path.

And they fail every time.

Because even though you have a plan, there will always be shiny new things clamoring for your attention. The CEO will ask why we don’t have an app for smart watches. The devs will want to prioritise something else.
