The rapid setup phase
In month one, you move fast. You get your asset library to the provider and set up the tracking. You want to start getting data as soon as possible. Don't worry about perfection; worry about speed. The sooner you start, the sooner you learn. You are setting up an engine that will give you the feedback you need to optimize your growth. It is all about getting the system live and operational so you can start measuring the impact.
Testing hooks and conversion paths
Month two is about testing. You are running as many variations as the network allows. You are looking for the 'aha' moment in your content that drives the highest click-through rate. As a head of growth, you are looking for that lever you can pull to dramatically increase conversions. This is the month where you learn what your market actually responds to, rather than what you think they respond to. It's the most exciting time for testing.
Scaling for maximum efficiency
In month three, you move into scaling. You've found your winning assets and your best messaging. Now you want to push those everywhere. You are optimizing your landing pages to handle the increased traffic and ensuring your signup funnel is as frictionless as possible. You are turning the network into a predictable growth machine that you can rely on to help you hit your monthly targets. It's the transition from testing to execution.
Setting your baseline for future growth
By the end of ninety days, you have a baseline of performance that you can use to forecast future growth. You know your baseline conversion rates, your average reach, and your cost per acquisition. This data is pure gold for a growth lead. You now have a proven channel that you can integrate into your long-term growth plan. You've built an asset that will continue to pay off, allowing you to grow faster than before.
Heads of growth should use the first 90 days to establish a rapid testing and execution cycle that turns the content network into a scalable growth engine.
