John (Male)
Hey Sarah, can we take a few minutes to discuss the marketing strategy for the 'Project Phoenix' launch? I'm a bit concerned about the proposed budget allocation for social media.
嗨,莎拉,我们能花几分钟讨论一下“凤凰项目”发布的营销策略吗?我对社交媒体的预算分配有点担心。
2
Sarah (Female)
Of course, John. What's on your mind? I thought we had a pretty solid plan there, focusing on organic growth first.
当然,约翰。你有什么想法?我以为我们已经有了一个相当可靠的计划,首先关注自然增长。
3
John (Male)
I agree with the organic push, but I feel we're underestimating the impact of paid advertising in the initial phase. We might miss out on reaching a wider audience quickly.
我同意自然增长,但我认为我们低估了初始阶段付费广告的影响。我们可能会错过快速接触更广泛受众的机会。
4
Sarah (Female)
I see your point. My concern was more about overspending too early. We need to conserve some budget for later phases, especially for remarketing.
我理解你的观点。我更担心的是过早超支。我们需要为后期阶段保留一些预算,特别是重新营销。
5
John (Male)
What if we reallocate a small portion from the content creation budget towards a targeted ad campaign for the first two weeks? Just to get some initial traction.
如果我们从内容创建预算中划出一小部分用于前两周的有针对性广告活动,怎么样?只是为了获得一些初步的关注。
6
Sarah (Female)
Hmm, reallocating from content is tricky, but I'm open to discussing it. How about we run a small A/B test with a limited paid ad budget against our organic approach for the first week? That way, we get data and then decide.
嗯,从内容中重新分配很棘手,但我愿意讨论。不如我们在第一周用有限的付费广告预算对我们的自然方法进行一次小型A/B测试?这样我们就能获得数据,然后再做决定。
7
John (Male)
That's a great compromise, Sarah! An A/B test makes perfect sense. We can gauge the effectiveness without committing too much upfront.
这是一个很棒的折衷方案,莎拉!A/B测试非常合理。我们可以在不预先投入过多的情况下评估其有效性。
8
Sarah (Female)
Perfect. I'll adjust the budget proposal to include that A/B test. We can touch base again next week to review the initial results and fine-tune from there.
太好了。我会调整预算提案,将A/B测试包含在内。我们下周再联系,审查初步结果,并在此基础上进行微调。

John (Male)
Sounds good. Thanks for being open to finding a middle ground, Sarah. Much appreciated.
听起来不错。谢谢你愿意找到一个折衷方案,莎拉。非常感谢。

Sarah (Female)
You too, John. Collaboration makes the project stronger. Talk soon!
你也是,约翰。协作使项目更强大。回头聊!
