FAQs

What is Fractional Marketing?

It’s senior-level marketing leadership—without the full-time overhead.
At Poppe, that means I work part-time as an embedded member of your team. You get VP or CMO-level expertise, fully accountable to your goals, at a fraction of the cost. One fractional spot is open.

What is Performance Marketing?

Performance marketing is built to get results—fast. It focuses on channels like Meta, Google, Email, SMS, and Direct Mail where campaigns are highly targetable and can be optimized quickly.

The winning formula is often:
   1) Show the problem
   2) Demonstrate the solution
   3) Back it up with proof

Why do specialists matter in digital marketing?

Performance depends on depth. Here’s why specialists outperform generalists:
   🎯 Campaign Setup – Knowing the platform inside and out matters.
   🧠 Channel-Specific Creative – What works on Meta won’t work on YouTube.
   📈 Test & Learn Mindset – Real gains come from structured iteration, not guesswork.

What is Loyalty Marketing?

Loyalty marketing is the strategy of creating programs that reward repeat behavior—whether through points, perks, exclusive access, or brand experiences.

Well-designed loyalty programs:
      - Encourage one more purchase
      - Deepen emotional connection
      - Reinforce brand values and identity

While airline rewards programs are the most well-known, modern loyalty should do more than drive transactions—it should build belonging.

What is CRM Marketing?

CRM (Customer Relationship Management) marketing is the practice of using first-party data to build individual customer profiles and deliver personalized, 1:1 marketing at scale.

A strong CRM program includes:
       🎯 Segmentation – Understand who your customers are and how they behave
       💬 Messaging – Deliver tailored content across email, SMS, direct mail, and more
       📊 Analytics & Test-and-Learn – Continuously optimize for deeper engagement and better results

The goal: influence behavior, increase response, and drive business value through relevance.

How Do Brand and Performance Marketing Work Together? What is Brandformance?

Brand builds memory. Performance drives response. The best companies do both.

❤️ Brand Marketing:
       → Builds awareness, reputation, and emotional connection
       → Strengthens your positioning and long-term equity⚡

Performance Marketing:
       → Gets measurable response fast (clicks, leads, purchases)
       → Uses proven messaging frameworks:
        • Show the Problem
        • Demonstrate the Fix
        • Deliver Proof

Brandformance is where the two meet:
       → Campaigns that are both emotionally resonant and optimized for action
       → Teams that balance long-term equity with short-term ROI
       → Compounding results over time

Here are the Three Pillars when both brand + performance work together:
       1) Marketing:Awareness – Stay top of mind with the right audience
       2) Reputation – Build trust and credibility
       3) Inspiration to Act – Drive connection across touchpoints

Together, brand + performance = strategic, sustainable growth
