RV163 - Expert Session: Leveraging Influencers & Advisors as part of your Marketing Strategy, with Natalie Marcotullio

Chris was joined by Navattic’s Natalie Marcotullio to explore the nuanced strategies around leveraging influencers and advisors within marketing strategies. As a topical issue amidst the dynamic terrain of B2B marketing, particularly within LinkedIn circles, their conversation sheds light on the practical implementation and tangible benefits of such programs.

The podcast delves into the conception and execution of Navattic’s Advisor Program. They discuss the critical balance between strategic advisement and influencer advocacy, stressing the importance of aligning such programs with a company's ICP. Natalie succinctly clarifies the program's structure that not only encompasses promotional endeavors but also heavily relies on strategies that guide the product's market trajectory. Further, they tackle the idea of compensation and the significant role that direct revenue sharing, alongside monthly payments, plays in cultivating a robust, engaged advisory board.

Key insights are revealed into the essential elements of nurturing these advisor relationships. This includes maintaining a manageable number of advisors, gauging direct business referrals, appreciating the value of these advisors' strategic insights as much as their promotional influence, and the critical need for multifaceted measurement to capture true ROI.
