IS YOUR RETENTION "TOO GOOD”?

In B2C subscription businesses, high retention rates can signal over-targeting core personas and missing growth opportunities. Accepting some early churn allows experimentation with broader audiences, increasing long-term revenue potential. The goal is to elevate the cohort floor - where churn stabilizes - by retaining customers after the initial drop-off. For example, Hulu raised its floor from 20% to 30%, which boosted its profitability. Retention strategies differ by churn timing. Early churn often points to onboarding issues, while later churn may require solving product-related problems like content gaps.

THE GOAL GAP: HOW THE CLASH BETWEEN BUSINESS AND CUSTOMER GOALS KILLS BRANDS (AND HOW TO AVOID IT)

ABM won British Rail's business by highlighting its disconnect from customers, staging a pitch that simulated poor customer experiences. This gap between the company's internal goals and customer expectations caused declining passenger numbers, as ads failed to align with real experiences. Similarly, Domino's Pizza lost customers by prioritizing cost-cutting over product quality but regained market share with a bold campaign addressing customer concerns and improving its pizza. The "Goal Gap" occurs when businesses focus on themselves rather than solving customers' problems, leading to lost trust and disengagement. Successful marketing prioritizes customer needs and positions the brand as a solution, reflected in all customer interactions.

ADVERTISING IN THE AGE OF ATOMISED FAME

Media fragmentation has made it tough for stars like Zendaya and Paul Mescal to gain cross-generational fame. Algorithms are prioritizing personalized content over universal appeal. Experts argue that brands need to pivot from big campaigns to smaller, coordinated efforts across channels that collectively leave a lasting impression. While TV used to dominate brand building, its influence is waning, and marketers must rely on AI to navigate the complexity of modern strategies.
