Haddas’s Journey into Freelance Marketing for Startups

Haddas started her career in various marketing roles within startups. After taking a maternity leave, she decided to explore freelance opportunities to bring her eclectic experiences in marketing to multiple growth stages of startups.

Milagro’s unique approach involves using AI to streamline the medical coding process, making it more accurate and efficient—essential in the complex world of healthcare reimbursements.

Effective Marketing Strategies from Haddas

One of the standout strategies shared by Haddas involves personalizing communication, particularly through LinkedIn campaigns. Milagro’s approach includes targeted messaging crafted with a personal touch to forge genuine connections in the medical field.

Key Components of a Successful LinkedIn Campaign

  1. Personalization: Each message is tailored specifically to the individual.
  2. Authenticity: Ensuring messages feel genuine and not automated.
  3. Humor and Originality: Standing out by avoiding common clichés.

Haddas highlights the importance of having thought leaders within a company. By using authentic voices to represent their brands, companies can enhance their appeal and strengthen relationships at industry events and beyond.

Efrat and the Air Doctor Vision

Shifting gears, Efrat introduces us to Air Doctor, a platform that connects travelers with local doctors. Comparatively, it’s similar to leading tech companies like Airbnb and Uber, in that it provides a service by connecting users to resources (doctors) rather than owning them.

Air Doctor’s Marketing Triumph

Air Doctor focuses heavily on building trust through their B2C strategies. They leverage high intent customers and strategize platforms like TikTok to achieve outstanding growth and recognition. Efrat explains how TikTok has surprisingly become fertile ground for travel-related searches, sometimes surpassing even Google.

Embracing TikTok

  • The platform has amplified Air Doctor’s brand awareness and opened doors to engaging influencer collaborations.
  • Success in Germany: A test campaign in Germany exponentially grew their follower count, demonstrating TikTok’s effectiveness.

Leveraging AI to Amplify Marketing Efforts

Both Haddas and Efrat have employed AI tools to significant effect in their marketing endeavors. While Haddas uses AI for content enhancement and time management, Efrat integrates AI technology into video creation and content translation in her marketing strategies.

Top AI Tools Used:

  • ChatGPT, Perplexity, Jasper for article brainstorming and refinement
  • Canva with AI Enhancements for graphic design
  • AI-Powered Video Tools like VDAO and Capcat

These tools have revolutionized both the speed and quality of the marketing outputs while ensuring brand consistency and creativity.

Innovative Conference Strategies

Haddas also shares some out-of-the-box thinking for gaining traction at conferences, especially when working with limited budgets:

  • Use memorable themes: At a conference near Halloween, a small booth was transformed into a spooky house to attract attention.
  • Order swag from Amazon to save on costs and ensure unique giveaways.

These creative touches not only stuck out but also saved costs while delivering memorable experiences to attendees.

Emphasizing Risk and Reward in Marketing

A crucial takeaway from the discussion is the inherent risk in marketing innovation. However, as demonstrated by Efrat’s experiences with TikTok and influencer marketing, these risks can yield considerably successful results.

“Sometimes you need to take a risk.” — Efrat Marmur

The conversation between Haddas and Efrat is filled with inspiring insights for marketers across industries. By embracing AI, personalizing outreach, and thinking creatively about presentations and campaigns, marketers can redefine their strategies and achieve unprecedented success.
