Why Clarity and Customer Insight Drive Scalable Startup Marketing With Maria Botta
According to Maria Botta, a seasoned marketing strategist and fractional CMO, scalable marketing starts with message clarity and deep customer insight. She highlights that many founders assume product-market fit without validating demand through direct conversations with their audience. This gap leads to misaligned campaigns and missed opportunities. The brands that scale, she says, are led by teams who continuously engage their customers, simplify their messaging, and align execution with real-world capacity.
