Sam Blond's GTM Tactics: Gifting Strategies and Guerrilla Marketing
tkexpress11 · x · 2026-08-25
Key takeaways from Sam Blond's 0 to 1 GTM masterclass:
- Gifting: Send memorable, durable items to overlooked buyers (e.g., CFOs), not just T-shirts.
- Booth Strategy: Invest equally in creative traffic drivers (e.g., magicians handing out redeemable chips).
- Direct Reach: ICPs rarely walk the floor; Brex once delivered gifts to CFO hotel rooms and branded key cards.
Meta point: Brainstorm crazy ways to bootstrap brand relevance before achieving PMF.
