Currently she's the Head of Marketing and Growth at Block Party, a company that designs consumer tools for online safety and anti-harassment. In today's episode, we explore the marketing strategies that helped Airtable punch above its weight and build an established brand. We also dig into how Airtable was able to find its first super-users, how customer success played a key role in getting early traction, and the do's and don'ts for marketing investments. Zoelle also shares her experience working for VaccinateCA (which ended up playing a massive role in helping get people vaccinated during the pandemic) and several tips for obtaining valuable customer feedback.Find the full transcript here: https://www.lennyspodcast.com/lessons-from-airtables-unconventional-growth-strategy-zoelle-egner/#transcriptWhere to find Zoelle Egner:• Twitter: https://twitter.com/zoelle• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/zoelleegner/Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• Twitter: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/Referenced:• Patrick McKenzie on Twitter: https://twitter.com/patio11• The Last of Us on HBO: https://www.hbo.com/the-last-of-us• Airtable: https://www.airtable.com/• Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/• Block Party app: https://www.blockpartyapp.com/• Kathy Sierra's book Badass: Making Users Awesome: https://www.amazon.com/Badass-Making-Awesome-Kathy-Sierra/dp/1491919019• Gainsight: https://www.gainsight.com/• Datadog: https://www.datadoghq.com/• Notion: https://www.notion.so/• Zapier: https://zapier.com/• Computing Taste: Algorithms and the Makers of Music Recommendation: https://www.amazon.com/Computing-Taste-Algorithms-Makers-Recommendation/dp/0226822974• Ancillary Justice: https://www.amazon.com/Ancillary-Justice-Imperial-Radch-Leckie/dp/031624662X/• The Happiness Lab podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-happiness-lab-with-dr-laurie-santos/id1474245040• Gastropod podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/gastropod/id918896288• Everything Everywhere All at Once on Showtime: https://www.sho.com/titles/3493875/everything-everywhere-all-at-once• Extraordinary Attorney Woo on Netflix: https://www.netflix.com/title/81518991• Figma: https://www.figma.com/• Webflow: https://webflow.com/• Clay: https://www.clay.com/• MKT1 Newsletter: https://newsletter.mkt1.co/• Emily Kramer on Lenny's Podcast: https://www.lennyspodcast.com/how-to-build-a-powerful-marketing-machine-emily-kramer-asana-carta-mkt1/In this episode, we cover:(00:00) How VaccinateCA helped bridge a gap in infrastructure(05:00) Zoelle's lessons from her time at VaccinateCA(18:04) How Zoelle broke into the tech industry(19:01) Flocking patterns(24:21) What Block Party does(24:32) Zoelle's storytelling(29:15) Tactics for punching above your weight as a small startup(31:30) The importance of having a highly detail-oriented person on staff(33:33) Why Airtable used billboards(36:43) Growth and marketing strategies at Airtable(42:29) Using data provided by your customers to build features that help future customers(50:59) Why customer success and marketing should be one team(52:56) Things to avoid in marketing(58:04) The power of templates(1:00:58) Why Airtable did not prioritize templates for top-of-funnel revenue (1:02:04) Why just getting PR to “get PR” is not a good strategy(1:04:57) The importance of getting customer feedback and investing in customer success(1:05:51) Simple strategies for getting customer feedback(1:07:53) Lightning roundProduction and marketing by https://penname.co/.

Today we have a lot of 3rd party libraries and toolkits that would help us launch an entire website in a matter of minutes. That makes our software development life easier but it feels like it created a gap between front end and backend development. With the pace of new technologies it makes it harder to keep up with everything. Joe and me are trying to address that problem.

Angular Remote Conf   This show is based off the following listener email: “I know you've discussed a couple of times about how hard it is to set up an Angular 2 project. Whilst most of this has nothing to do with Angular itself, it's still the barrier to entry. There's no point in saying how much easier Angular 2 is than Angular 1 if you can't get it running. Even though I'd heard your previous discussions on this, in reality I was totally unprepared as to how difficult it was when I had to do it myself recently. Even the Angular 2 5 minute quick start took me a day to get my head around! I was delighted to hear the Angular team was coming up with Angular CLI. Get the mechanics out the way and lower the barrier to entry. So I typed 'ng new myapp'. Oh! Looking at the properties of the directory I saw Size: 161MB, Contains: 40,531 files, 7,226 folders. Has the JavaScript world gone completely mad? Is this really acceptable? 40,000+ files before I write my first line of code? OK, so Angular CLI has created all this stuff for me but I still have to understand what it's about, or how will I maintain it and keep it up-to-date. What happens if there's an incompatibility in one of the libraries used? It would be great to hear the members of the podcast discuss what they think needs to happen in order to simplify this. Is Angular CLI actually simplifying things, or is it just shifting the 'getting starting' problem to become a maintenance problem? Is it even possible to have a simple Angular 2 project, do we need to just accept that 161MB of disk space is a minimum? Has Angular 2 become out of reach for hobbyists, or is it the exclusive property of experts and full time client-side developers only?”   04:35 - Purpose and Value 15:32 - “Dumpster Fire” 19:01 - Capability and Complexity 26:03 - Getting Setup to Develop in Angular; Investing in Skills Angular 2 5 Min Quickstart Tour of Heroes Tutorial “Has Angular 2 become out of reach for hobbyists, or is it the exclusive property of experts and full time client-side developers only?” Lukas Reubbelke: Angular 2 with Handcrafted Tools, Century-Old Techniques and ES5   Picks Chaos Monkeys: Obscene Fortune and Random Failure in Silicon Valley by Antonio Garcia Martinez (Ward) Wink (Lukas) Badass: Making Users Awesome by Kathy Sierra (Lukas) Learning (Joe) George W.

EP9 - We're on the road to somewhere   What exactly is a product roadmap and why does it matter to me? How much detail should I provide when creating one? How deep do I go? Who is my audience and why do they care about it?    Channeling Roman Pichler, Kim and Cory discuss (at length) what makes a useful product roadmap, how to create one and what to include. They promote simple (and free!) Roadmap creation tools and ways to make the Roadmap visible, to the team and to the stakeholders.    Lastly, in this episode, the hosts discuss their 3 favorite apps (games?) and the reasons why they love them so much.     Feedback: twitter - @deliveritcast email - deliveritcast@gmail.com   Links: Kathy Sierra - Badass: Making users awesome http://www.amazon.com/Badass-Making-Awesome-Kathy-Sierra/dp/1491919019   Daniel Pink - The Puzzle of Motivation http://www.ted.com/talks/dan_pink_on_motivation?language=en   Roman Pichler http://www.romanpichler.com/blog/goal-oriented-agile-product-roadmap/   Free Powerpoint Tools   http://www.free-power-point-templates.com/articles/free-editable-agile-roadmap-powerpoint-template/
