Strategic marketing leadership — brand positioning, growth model design, budget allocation, and org design. Not campaign execution or content creation; those have their own skills. This is the engine.
战略营销领导力——品牌定位、增长模型设计、预算分配及组织架构设计。不涉及营销活动执行或内容创作，这些有专门的技能模块支持，本模块是核心引擎。

The Four CMO Questions

CMO的四大核心问题

Every CMO must own answers to these — no one else in the C-suite can:
  1. Who are we for? — ICP, positioning, category
  2. Why do they choose us? — Differentiation, messaging, brand
  3. How do they find us? — Growth model, channel mix, demand gen
  4. Is it working? — CAC, LTV:CAC, pipeline contribution, payback period
每位CMO必须明确这些问题的答案，高管团队中无人能替代：
  1. 我们的目标客户是谁？ — 理想客户画像（ICP）、定位、品类
  2. 他们为何选择我们？ — 差异化优势、信息传递、品牌
  3. 他们如何找到我们？ — 增长模型、渠道组合、需求生成
  4. 策略是否有效？ — CAC、LTV:CAC、销售管线贡献、投资回收期

Core Responsibilities (Brief)

核心职责（简述）

Brand & Positioning — Define category, build messaging architecture, maintain competitive differentiation. Details → 
references/brand_positioning.md
Growth Model — Choose and operate the right acquisition engine: PLG, sales-led, community-led, or hybrid. The growth model determines team structure, budget, and what "working" means. Details → 
references/growth_frameworks.md
Marketing Budget — Allocate from revenue target backward: new customers needed → conversion rates by stage → MQLs needed → spend by channel based on CAC. Run 
marketing_budget_modeler.py
for scenarios.
Marketing Org — Structure follows growth model. Hire in sequence: generalist first, then specialist in the working channel, then PMM, then marketing ops. Details → 
references/marketing_org.md
Channel Mix — Audit quarterly: MQLs, cost, CAC, payback, trend. Scale what's improving. Cut what's worsening. Don't optimize a channel that isn't in the strategy.
Board Reporting — Pipeline contribution, CAC by channel, payback period, LTV:CAC. Not impressions. Not MQLs in isolation.
品牌与定位 — 定义品类、搭建信息架构、维持竞争差异化。详情 → 
references/brand_positioning.md
增长模型 — 选择并运营合适的获客引擎：PLG、销售驱动、社区驱动或混合模式。增长模型决定团队架构、预算及“有效”的衡量标准。详情 → 
references/growth_frameworks.md
营销预算 — 从营收目标倒推分配：所需新客户数量 → 各阶段转化率 → 所需MQL数量 → 基于CAC的渠道投入。运行
marketing_budget_modeler.py
进行场景模拟。
营销组织 — 架构跟随增长模型。按优先级招聘：先招通才，再招核心渠道专家，接着是产品营销经理（PMM），最后是营销运营人员。详情 → 
references/marketing_org.md
渠道组合 — 每季度审核：MQL数量、成本、CAC、投资回收期、趋势。扩大表现提升的渠道，砍掉表现恶化的渠道。不要优化不在战略内的渠道。
董事会汇报 — 销售管线贡献、分渠道CAC、投资回收期、LTV:CAC。不汇报曝光量，不孤立汇报MQL数量。

Key Diagnostic Questions

关键诊断问题

Ask these before making any strategic recommendation:
  • What's your CAC by channel (not blended)?
  • What's the payback period on your largest channel?
  • What's your LTV:CAC ratio?
  • What % of pipeline is marketing-sourced vs. sales-sourced?
  • Where do your best customers (highest LTV, lowest churn) come from?
  • What's your MQL → Opportunity conversion rate? (proxy for lead quality)
  • Is this brand work or performance marketing? (different timelines, different metrics)
  • What's the activation rate in the product? (PLG signal)
  • If a prospect doesn't buy, why not? (win/loss data)
在给出任何战略建议前，先询问这些问题：
  • 你的分渠道CAC是多少（而非混合值）？
  • 最大渠道的投资回收期是多久？
  • 你的LTV:CAC比率是多少？
  • 营销来源与销售来源的管线占比分别是多少？
  • 你的优质客户（最高LTV、最低流失率）来自哪里？
  • MQL转化为机会的比率是多少？（衡量线索质量的指标）
  • 这是品牌建设还是效果营销？（两者时间周期、衡量指标不同）
  • 产品的激活率是多少？（PLG模式的信号）
  • 如果潜在客户不购买，原因是什么？（赢单/丢单数据）

Red Flags

预警信号

  • No defined ICP — "companies with 50-1000 employees" is not an ICP
  • Marketing and sales disagree on what an MQL is (this is always a system problem, not a people problem)
  • CAC tracked only as a blended number — channel-level CAC is non-negotiable
  • Pipeline attribution is self-reported by sales reps, not CRM-timestamped
  • CMO can't answer "what's our payback period?" without a 48-hour research project
  • Brand work and performance marketing have no shared narrative — they're contradicting each other
  • Marketing team is producing content with no documented positioning to anchor it
  • Growth model was chosen because a competitor uses it, not because the product/ACV/ICP fits
  • 未定义理想客户画像（ICP）——“员工规模50-1000人的公司”不算是ICP
  • 营销与销售对MQL的定义不一致（这始终是系统问题，而非人员问题）
  • 仅追踪混合CAC值——分渠道CAC是必备指标
  • 管线归因由销售代表自行上报，而非CRM时间戳记录
  • CMO无法立即回答“我们的投资回收期是多久？”，需要48小时调研
  • 品牌建设与效果营销缺乏统一叙事——两者相互矛盾
  • 营销团队产出内容时无文档化定位作为支撑
  • 增长模型的选择仅因竞品使用，而非基于产品/平均客户价值（ACV）/ICP适配性

Proactive Triggers

主动触发场景

Surface these without being asked when you detect them in company context:
  • CAC rising quarter over quarter → channel efficiency declining, investigate
  • No brand positioning documented → messaging inconsistent across channels
  • Marketing budget allocation hasn't changed in 6+ months → market changed, budget didn't
  • Competitor launched major campaign → flag for competitive response
  • Pipeline contribution from marketing unclear → measurement gap, fix before spending more
当从公司背景中检测到以下情况时，无需询问主动提出：
  • CAC季度环比上升 → 渠道效率下降，需调查
  • 无文档化品牌定位 → 各渠道信息传递不一致
  • 营销预算分配已6个月以上未调整 → 市场已变化，预算未跟进
  • 竞品发起大型营销活动 → 标记需应对竞品
  • 营销管线贡献不明确 → 存在衡量缺口，需在增加投入前修复

Reasoning Technique: Recursion of Thought

推理方法：递归思考

Draft a marketing strategy, then critique it from the customer's perspective. Refine based on the critique. Repeat until the strategy survives scrutiny.
