12 Proclamations of the Digital Growth Blueprint
•
0 likes•63 views
Digital growth is a journey—a journey from good to great. It is a journey that begins in the mind. Marketing, sales, and leadership teams at financial brands must first transform their thinking—only then can they transform themselves, their teams, and their strategies for exponential future digital growth. It doesn’t happen overnight. Like running a marathon, it all starts with proper training and planning. Then, once you are off and running, you have to be open to changing conditions, as the environment is unpredictable. The Digital Growth Blueprint and strategic marketing manifesto is made up of twelve key areas. They build on each other but are also independent. In other words, even if you focus on and commit to only one of these twelve points of the manifesto, this effort alone can empower you to make your financial brand’s marketing even better. And if you focus on all twelve, you transform your entire financial brand to maximize your future digital growth potential.

The 4 Fears Stopping Your Team's Digital Growth
There is something preventing you and your marketing team from realizing your digital growth potential.
Legacy systems and thinking that were put in place long before you got to where you are today threaten to hold you back.
What exactly are these hidden forces at play?
It’s easy to feel confused, frustrated, and overwhelmed as digital continues to transform the world at an exponential pace. Working to maximize your financial brand’s digital growth can sometimes feel like an impossible feat.
But when you examine the Circle of Chaos a little more closely, you see this condition is rooted in fear.
Financial brands are held back by four distinct fears keeping them from fully committing to their Digital Growth Journey.
These are sometimes spoken openly, but more often than not, they are whispered in confidence.
They are:
Fear of the unknown (“I know digital is important for us, but what should we do next?”)
Fear of change (“Why change now? We have had success up to this point.”)
Fear of failure (“What happens if we try this and fail? What will they think of me?”)
Fear of success (“What happens if this actually works? Can we even support this new type of growth?”)
9 Questions to Self-Assess
The Digital Growth Blueprint is a key strategic tool that gives you an assessment to objectively benchmark the past, the present, and most importantly, where you can commit to go in the future with courage and confidence.
It's at the heart of everything that we teach at the Digital Growth Institute.
This framework is comprised of nine essential and co-dependent elements that include specific strategies, systems, technologies, and most importantly habits to maximum your primary goals for marketing, for sales.
And for this exercise, we're going to keep things very simple. I want you to answer these questions with a simple yes or a no.
And the more yeses you have, it's possible that you could already be headed down the right path.
On the flip side, frame the nos as areas of future growth opportunities for you to prioritize and focus so that you can get even better going forward.
What Does it Mean to Transform the Legacy Growth Model?
When we think of the old way of doing business as a financial brand, it’s helpful to envision a growth pyramid. Three-fifths (at least) of the pyramid is built around the legacy branch, sales, and broadcast marketing model. Then, when digital came on the scene, digital was bolted onto the pyramid, retrofitted to the old structure.
Are we looking to destroy the old model entirely and start from scratch?
No. Rather, what we’re trying to do is flip the growth pyramid upside down: transform the entire growth model so it’s now three-fifths digital and two-fifths physical—at a very minimum—as digital becomes the primary driver for growth, regardless of whether someone applies online, calls into a call center, or comes into a physical branch location to apply for a product.
Digital is at the heart of the consumer buying journey. With the new pyramid, your growth model will reflect that.
In fact, maybe digital might become four-fifths—or even 100 percent—of your growth pyramid.
12 Traits for a Digital Growth Mindset at your Financial Brand
Whenever I have a Digital Growth Diagnostic Assessment call, it’s clear to me within five minutes how the person on the other line views the world—and it’s usually predictive of the success both they and their financial brand will have over the next twelve to twenty-four months.
Financial brands with the greatest success are the ones who approach digital with a growth mindset.
A person or brand with a growth mindset is always looking to learn and gain new insights that exponentially expand their capabilities. People, teams, and organizations with growth mindsets are excited about solving big and important problems. They welcome criticism and look at failure as an opportunity to learn.
Three step roadmap for financial brands
On a recent Banking on Digital Growth podcast, James Robert Lay welcomed Jon Ogden, the head of strategic content at MX, to discuss how financial brands can prepare for the future.
With an increasing amount of financial-insecurities and COVID-related stress, financial institutions are well-positioned to be the helpful guide.
Banks and credit unions are serving as the frontline “doctor” or “nurse” for their customers and those in the communities they serve.
Financial brands have the power to provide hope and help.
There is an opportunity to provide clarity into the complex world of financial data. There is an opportunity to provide actionable insights for the consumer to escape their financial fears and improve their life. And there is an opportunity to empower your customers to be financially strong.
5-Step Digital Communication Strategy
There are a lot of things about the future that are uncertain.
The days of promoting and pushing commoditized products are dead.
But, at the Digital Growth Institute, there are things that we are certain about.
And there is only one way to succeed in sales and marketing in today’s new normal (and beyond).
Four words: Help first. Sell second.
It's not the right time to push and promote commoditized products and services.
As you commit to help first and sell second, you can apply the following digital communication strategy we've used to guide financial brands over the past few months since COVID-19 entered the scene.

The 4 Operating Environments of Digital Growth
What I see with financial institutions through our Digital Growth Diagnostic Assessments is the vast majority get stuck doing digital. And the only way to get unstuck is, again, to create space and time to work in the other Digital Growth Operating Environments
Marketing to the Brain
Empathy is one of the most important competitive advantages, if not THE most important.
I encourage financial brand leaders to step out of the banker's brain, thinking brain of logic and reason the neocortex and into the mind's eye of consumers, which is viewed through the limbic system of emotions and relationships and the reptilian, survival, fight flight where trust is decided
The problem. Every financial brand is marketing to an overloaded and overcrowed "thinking brain"
Take a step back and transform your sales and marketing strategies and speak to the other two brains first.
Four Content Production Archetypes
Once you identify the goal for content production—whether connecting, cultivating, or converting—you can then identify the types of content you need to produce. To do this well, approach this task guided by the following four content archetypes aligned to the digital consumer buying journey.
Big Data vs. Thick Data
Put yourself in your consumers' shoes. Building personas allow us to empathize and build an understanding. As you begin defining consumer personas, capture and analyze data in these two ways.
5 Pillars to Establish Trust
These five different pillars are where we begin to build trust in an industry plagued by a lack of it, differentiating ourselves in the process.

When most people in the industry talk about online or digital reputation management, what they're really saying is Google search and PPC. And it's usually reactive, left dealing with the aftermath of negative information published somewhere online. That's outdated. It leaves executives, organizations and other high-profile individuals at a high risk of a digital reputation attack that spans channels and tactics. But the tools needed to safeguard against an attack are more cybersecurity-oriented than most marketing and communications professionals can manage. Business leaders Leaders grasp the importance; 83% of executives place reputation in their top five areas of risk, yet only 23% are confident in their ability to address it. To succeed in 2024 and beyond, you need to turn online reputation on its axis and think like an attacker.
Key Takeaways:
- New framework for examining and safeguarding an online reputation
- Tools and techniques to keep you a step ahead
- Practical examples that demonstrate when to act, how to act and how to recoverSEO as the Backbone of Digital Marketing

2️⃣ Instagram’s new algorithm and latest guidance will help us maintain organic growth. Instagram continues to evolve, but Reels remains the most crucial tool for growth.
