Exactly what I have been looking for since being thrown in the deep end as head of marketing at an ecommerce brand. Covers all aspects in a really defined way that makes it actionable. I've tackled 5 chapters already in the first 6 months and we are kicking goals.

As a Growth Manager at a Series B SaaS company, this playbook is exactly what I needed when I got promoted from coordinator to leading our entire growth function. The frameworks actually work in the real world of limited budgets and shifting priorities. This isn't theoretical fluff, it's the playbook I actually use to run marketing at a $12M ARR company.
