Erik has 3 successful exits under his belt including a sale to Twitter, Postal is also a product Ryan himself uses and recommends highly!

Erik talks about why Postal is an enterprise-first organisation, the insane growth companies can gain from using an offline-marketing strategy and the importance of community in the modern marketing world.

KEY TAKEAWAYS

• There aren’t many businesses right now that focus on offline engagement. This was a gap Postal recognised and capitalised on.
• By focusing on communities and value, Postal help companies develop their offline presence and build engagement in a unique and tactile way.
• Campaigns are all about the ‘when’ and the ‘what’. Companies need a systematic approach towards campaigns so that they can reliably track and test them.
• Ensure you hire people that haven’t reached the pinnacle of their career yet, you want them to still want to prove something and have that drive.
• Be open to adapting and changing your current strategy to align with your sector and find a true product-market fit.
• The current best operators in technology are probably the companies that will be able to afford and invest in the future of tech.
