Creative UX/UI For Impactful Marketing: Think, build, and scale like a product owner (podcast epi...

You can’t do everything. So you essentially have to make some ‘bets,’ for lack of a better word. What is going to have the biggest impact with your audience?


Focus your energy and budget there, to make the biggest splash you can.


OK, that’s a boring way to say it. So I like how my next guest worded it in his podcast guest application – ‘If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly.’


To hear the story behind that lesson, along with many more lesson-filled stories from throughout his career, I sat down with Clinton Bonner, Vice President of Marketing, Launch by NTT Data (https://launch.nttdata.com/)  (https://launch.nttdata.com/).


Launch by NTT Data is owned by NTT, a publicly traded company. It most recently reported annual revenue of over 13 trillion Yen, roughly equal to $85 billion at current exchange rates.


Bonner manages a team of 10 and a $5 million to $10 million marketing budget.


Stories (with lessons) about what he made in marketing:

 •  Empower your team with top designers
 •  Think, build, and scale like a product owner
 •  If you're gonna be a bear, be a Grizzly
 •  Trust great creative people
 •  Don’t be afraid to let the deep work be the star
