A Growth Marketer's Weekly Recap - Sales Pitches, Newsletter Tools, AI Innovations, and More!

Pitching Power, AI Breakthroughs, and Trackside Tales: This Week's Journey Through the Marketing Fast Lane

Hey AI-Driven Marketers,

Welcome back to my weekly newsletter, where I share my experiences and insights as a growth marketer. This week, we've got a lot of interesting updates and insights to share, so let's dive right in! 🚀

1️⃣ A Productive Week as a Sales Person 💼

I had an adrenaline-fueled week, delivering important pitches to one of the biggest homoeopathic medicine brands and a group of schools. The thrill and confidence boost that comes with these presentations is unparalleled. Speaking of pitches, one person who always inspires me with his public speaking and storytelling skills is Steve Jobs.

Have a look at this video from 1997 when he made his return to Apple - his narrative on how he planned to restore Apple's glory is truly remarkable.

2️⃣ Choice of Newsletter Tool: Substack 📧

After much consideration, I've decided to stick with Substack for my newsletter. I was evaluating both Substack and Behiiv, but given that everything is already set up on Substack, it felt right to continue. Perhaps, when I decide to introduce a paid subscription model in the future, I might revisit this decision. Also, I'm excited to announce that my newsletter is now available at https://grow.siddhantjain.in/!

3️⃣ Google I/O 2023: AI Innovations and Google Bard's Integration with Adobe Firefly ☁️

Google's recent I/O event has left me even more excited about the potential of AI. Google's integration of AI into Google Workspace, particularly the 'help me write the email' feature, is game-changing. Further, Google Bard's recent integration with Adobe Firefly, which allows you to generate images from text prompts, is truly groundbreaking.

However, despite these impressive strides, I believe Google Bard still has some catching up to do. After testing it, my current impression is that ChatGPT-4 still leads the pack.

4️⃣ Quote of the Week and Webinar Recap 📚

This week, I found myself drawn to a timeless quote: "Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half."

I used this quote in my recent webinar to explain the concept of attribution to my audience. It's a powerful reminder of the complexities and challenges we face in accurately tracking our marketing efforts.

5️⃣ For F1 Fanatics: Beyond the Grid with Mario Theissen 🏎️

If you're an F1 fanatic like me, you can't miss the latest episode of F1 Beyond the Grid. Mario Theissen takes us through BMW's fascinating journey in F1. It's a must-listen for anyone interested in the behind-the-scenes world of F1.

Fun fact: I used ChatGPT to create this newsletter! I shared my week's highlights, and it helped me craft this engaging summary.

That's all for this week's recap! As always, stay tuned for more insights, tips, and trends from the world of growth marketing. Until next time! ✌️
