Spotlight Session - Neill Myers from EngineRoom

In this Spotlight Session, Stefan Kazakis, Founder of Business Benchmark Group, sits down with Neill Myers and Lawrence Penn from EngineRoom to explore a fundamental principle many business owners overlook.

Marketing is not guesswork. Marketing is maths.

Together, they break down how successful businesses treat marketing as a measurable, data-driven system rather than a collection of random activities. From understanding the true cost of acquiring customers to improving website conversion and building a reliable lead pipeline, this conversation highlights the metrics and strategies that separate high-performing businesses from those wasting money on ineffective campaigns.

The discussion also explores the role of websites as revenue-generating assets, the common mistakes businesses make with digital marketing, and why leaders must understand the numbers behind their marketing investments.

If you want to transform marketing from a frustrating expense into a predictable growth engine, this session provides practical insights grounded in real business performance.
