Value-First Data with Klemen Hrovat: Loop Marketing Meet Human Reality

Episode Description

The Data-Trust Death Spiral Nobody’s Talking About

Here’s what happened last week: A CMO showed me their Loop Marketing implementation. Sophisticated AI. Personalization at scale. Multi-channel orchestration. Their tech stack? Flawless.

Their response rates? Plummeting.

Why? Because their Audience-stage visitors were getting Hero-stage messages. Their Researchers were receiving Advocate testimonials. Their implementation teams were still getting marketing emails.

The tools work. The AI works. But we’re using yesterday’s assumptions about linear customer journeys to power tomorrow’s marketing technology.

HubSpot’s Loop Marketing represents genuine innovation - continuous optimization through AI-human partnership. But there’s a paradox: the more sophisticated our loops become, the worse our relationships get because we’re optimizing the wrong thing at the wrong time for the wrong people.

The Hidden Problem:

AI amplifies whatever patterns we feed it - including our misalignment with human reality

The Real Question:

What if the problem isn’t your Loop?

What if it’s that you don’t know where humans actually are in their value journey when the Loop engages them?

Starting today at 2:15 PM CT, Klemen Hrovat and I are launching a new LinkedIn Live series that bridges this gap.

Value-First Data

We’ll explore how the Loop (Express, Tailor, Amplify, Evolve) must fundamentally transform based on where someone is in their actual Value Path:

Audience Stage: Why your Loop needs to operate on minimal data and maximum respect

Researcher Stage: How to provide comprehensive intelligence without forcing progression

Hand Raiser Stage: When expertise demonstration matters more than personalization

HERO Stage: Supporting internal champions instead of continuing external marketing

Value Creator Stage: Why implementation teams shouldn’t get marketing messages

Adopter Stage: Moving from usage metrics to value realization signals

Advocate Stage: When customers become part of your Loop, not recipients

Champion Stage: How industry leaders help design your Loop, not just experience it

This isn’t about choosing between frameworks or playbooks. It’s about understanding that your Loop must adapt to human reality, not force humans to adapt to your Loop.

Each week, we’ll show you:

-What humans actually think, feel, and do at each stage -How each Loop element must transform to serve those needs -Where AI pattern recognition enhances vs violates trust -One specific change you can implement immediately

Whether you’re using Loop Marketing, traditional funnels, or something in between - if you’re trying to build authentic relationships at scale, this series will change how you think about data, automation, and human connection.
