Hazel Savage Joins Syntho as CEO

United Kingdom – Syntho, the innovative UK-based music startup founded by DJ and producer Josh Baker, is proud to announce the appointment of Hazel Savage as its new CEO. Savage, a renowned music-tech entrepreneur and former CEO of Musiio, brings a wealth of experience in scaling music technology businesses.

Josh Baker, who founded Syntho to revolutionise electronic music education, has seen phenomenal success in his own DJ career, prompting the need for top-tier leadership to drive the next phase of Syntho’s growth.

​Hazel Savage’s previous experience building and selling a music tech company make her the perfect leader to take the company forward.
“I first met Josh in April 2024 at an investing event in Leeds, we kept in touch and after exiting my role at SoundCloud, Josh approached me about joining Syntho.” said Hazel Savage. “Syntho has yet to need to raise capital and the revenue is above and beyond what I see day in and day out as an angel investor in this space. The Syntho product clearly resonates with its audience. Josh and the Syntho leadership team have made me feel so welcome already. I’m excited for 2025.
Picture
Syntho, which Baker started in 2020 has become the UK’s challenger brand for aspiring and professional electronic music producers, offering beginner to advanced lessons, with the latest producers and DJs showing exactly how they create their sound.
​
Josh Baker remains the founder and the face of the company with his “Introduction to..” videos being the most watched on the platform. Baker is also having a huge year in terms of his career with upcoming shows at Miami Music Week, Amnesia’s opening party in Ibiza, as well as Hide and Seek, Parklife and Mint Festival all coming up in 2025.
Baker made the appointment of Savage himself, saying:

“I started Syntho back in 2020 because I didn’t feel like the options that existed when I wanted to learn music production came from the best in the business. I wanted to learn from top talent, people who are out there creating hits and playing sold out venues. It didn’t exist, so I built it. I started just filming the videos myself as a producer who was getting a lot of requests to help out other producers but it grew from there as I asked other producers I knew to create videos. As we grow it’s important for us to be smart and focussed, Hazel has worked in Music Tech for 18 years, and has previous success building and selling a company, this makes it a great fit for the next stage of Syntho.”

Max Prilutskiy and Veronica Prilutskaya built the first prototype at a Cornell University hackathon. As engineers, serial expats, and repeat founders, they've experienced localization pain from every angle - as developers, founders, and users.

Lingo.dev’s AI Localization Engine understands product context, UI placement, and brand voice to produce translations that sound authentic and consistent.
Picture
​Web and mobile teams use Lingo.dev's APIs and SDKs to ship multilingual products fast, especially for complex UIs with product-specific terminology.

World-class teams at MistralAI, Captions, and Cal.com use Lingo.dev to turn manual localization work into an elegant, automated process. Congrats to the team on the round!

WTF is product strategy: Strategy Blocks: An operator’s guide to product strategy

2/27/2025

by Lenny Rachitsky

Product strategy sits in between the mission/vision and the plan.


The mission and vision are typically articulated by the founders/CEO and tend to be durable over time.

The plan (i.e. roadmap) is an ordered list of projects based on some notion of prioritization and sequence of delivery.
Picture
There is a steep drop in elevation between the mission/vision and the plan, and strategy occupies this large void.

Strategy exists to force a disciplined choice to deploy scarce resources for maximum impact. Regardless of the size of a company, the resource pool and capacity to get work done is always constrained relative to the universe of work that could be done—making this choice a critical decision in every single context.

A good strategy articulation typically includes three components:
1. 3 to 5 areas for the company or the team to focus on, which we will henceforth refer to as strategic pillars
2. Several areas that should explicitly not be the focus
3. A clear set of explanations for why these choices were made

Picture
Here's a step-by-step guide by Chandra Janakiraman for crafting your product strategy:

1. A 2-year strategy, which is typically focused on solving problems with the current product, i.e. small “s” strategy
2. A 3/5/10-year strategy focused on aspirational futures. i.e., big “S” strategy

Why Vanity Metrics Don’t Drive Real ROI: Focus on What Truly Matters

Discover why vanity metrics like likes and followers don’t drive real ROI. Learn how to shift your focus to actionable data that fuels measurable business growth.

​Why Vanity Metrics Don’t Drive Real ROI
​​

In today’s data-driven world, businesses have access to more metrics than ever before. From social media likes and website visits to email open rates, it’s easy to get caught up in the numbers. But not all metrics are created equal. While vanity metrics may look impressive on paper, they often fail to deliver real, measurable ROI. Here’s why you should ditch vanity metrics and focus on what truly matters for your business growth.

​What Are Vanity Metrics?

​
Vanity metrics are data points that look good on the surface but don’t provide meaningful insights into your business performance. Examples include:
  • Social media followers and likes
  • Website page views
  • Email open rates
  • App downloads
While these metrics might make you feel good, they don’t tell you whether your efforts are actually driving revenue, customer retention, or long-term growth.

The Problem with Vanity Metrics
​
  1. They Don’t Correlate with Business Outcomes
    Vanity metrics might indicate visibility or engagement, but they don’t show how your business is performing. For example, having 10,000 Instagram followers means little if only 1% of them are converting into paying customers.
  2. They Can Be Misleading
    High numbers can create a false sense of success. A viral post or a spike in website traffic might look impressive, but if it doesn’t lead to conversions, it’s ultimately meaningless.
  3. They Waste Time and Resources
    Focusing on vanity metrics can lead to misguided strategies. For instance, chasing likes or followers might divert resources from more impactful activities like improving customer experience or optimizing your sales funnel.

What Metrics Should You Focus On Instead?

To drive real ROI, shift your focus to actionable, outcome-driven metrics. Here are some examples:
  1. Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC):
    How much does it cost to acquire a new customer? Lowering your CAC while maintaining quality leads is a key indicator of efficiency.
  2. Customer Lifetime Value (CLV):
    How much revenue does a customer generate over their lifetime? Increasing CLV means you’re building long-term relationships and maximizing profitability.
  3. Conversion Rates:
    What percentage of website visitors or leads are converting into customers? Improving conversion rates directly impacts your bottom line.
  4. Return on Ad Spend (ROAS):
    How much revenue are you generating for every dollar spent on advertising? This metric helps you evaluate the effectiveness of your marketing campaigns.
  5. Churn Rate:
    How many customers are you losing over a given period? Reducing churn is critical for sustainable growth.

How to Shift from Vanity Metrics to Actionable Insights
​
  1. Set Clear Goals:
    Define what success looks like for your business. Are you aiming to increase revenue, improve customer retention, or expand into new markets?
  2. Track the Right Metrics:
    Use tools like Google Analytics, CRM software, or business intelligence platforms to monitor metrics that align with your goals.
  3. Analyze and Iterate:
    Regularly review your data to identify trends, strengths, and areas for improvement. Use these insights to refine your strategies.
  4. Educate Your Team:
    Ensure everyone in your organization understands the importance of focusing on actionable metrics rather than vanity metrics.

Real-World Example: The Pitfall of Vanity Metrics
​
​
Imagine a company that spends thousands of dollars on a social media campaign to gain followers. While their follower count skyrockets, their sales remain stagnant. Why? Because the campaign targeted a broad audience with little interest in their product. By focusing on vanity metrics (followers), the company missed the opportunity to target high-value customers who could drive real revenue.

Conclusion: Focus on What Truly Matters
​
Vanity metrics might be tempting, but they won’t help you achieve real, measurable growth. By shifting your focus to actionable metrics like CAC, CLV, and conversion rates, you can make data-driven decisions that deliver tangible results.

How to Turn Data into Growth Strategies: A Step-by-Step Guide

Learn how to transform raw data into actionable growth strategies. Discover proven methods to drive
​measurable results and take your business to the next level with Colaeb.

How to Turn Data into Growth Strategies: A Step-by-Step Guide
​

In today’s competitive business landscape, data is one of your most valuable assets. But raw data alone isn’t enough—it’s what you do with it that counts. Turning data into actionable growth strategies can help you attract new customers, optimize operations, and drive measurable ROI. Here’s a step-by-step guide to help you unlock the full potential of your data.

Why Data-Driven Growth Strategies Matter

​
Data-driven decision-making eliminates guesswork and empowers businesses to:
  • Identify high-value opportunities
  • Improve customer targeting and retention
  • Optimize marketing and sales efforts
  • Reduce costs and increase efficiency
  • Achieve sustainable, long-term growth
​
Without a clear strategy, however, data can quickly become overwhelming. Let’s break down the process of turning data into actionable growth strategies.

Step 1: Define Your Goals
​
Before diving into data analysis, it’s essential to define what you want to achieve. Ask yourself:
  • What are your key business objectives? (e.g., increase revenue, expand market share, improve customer retention)
  • What does success look like? (e.g., a 20% increase in sales, a 10% reduction in churn rate)

Clear goals will help you focus on the data that matters most and avoid getting lost in irrelevant metrics.

Step 2: Collect and Organize Your Data

Data comes from various sources, including:

  • Website analytics (e.g., Google Analytics)
  • CRM systems
  • Social media platforms
  • Customer feedback and surveys
  • Sales and financial reports
​
Use tools like dashboards and data management platforms to centralize and organize your data for easy access and analysis.

Step 3: Analyze Your Data for Insights

Once your data is organized, it’s time to dig deeper. Look for patterns, trends, and correlations that can inform your strategy. For example:
  • Which marketing channels are driving the most conversions?
  • What are the common characteristics of your most loyal customers?
  • Where are the bottlenecks in your sales funnel?
​
Advanced analytics tools and techniques, such as predictive modeling and segmentation, can help you uncover actionable insights.

Step 4: Develop Actionable Strategies
​
​
With insights in hand, you can start crafting data-driven growth strategies. Here are a few examples:
  • Customer Acquisition: Use data to identify high-value customer segments and tailor your marketing campaigns to their preferences.
  • Product Optimization: Analyze customer feedback and usage data to improve your products or services.
  • Operational Efficiency: Identify inefficiencies in your processes and implement data-backed solutions to reduce costs.
  • Retention and Loyalty: Use data to predict churn risks and create targeted retention campaigns.

Step 5: Implement and Monitor
​
Once your strategies are in place, it’s crucial to monitor their performance. Use key performance indicators (KPIs) to track progress and measure success. Examples include:
  • Revenue growth
  • Customer acquisition cost (CAC)
  • Customer lifetime value (CLV)
  • Conversion rates
​
Regularly review your data to identify what’s working and what needs adjustment.

Step 6: Iterate and Improve
​
​
Data-driven growth is an ongoing process. Continuously analyze your results, gather feedback, and refine your strategies to stay ahead of the competition.

Real-World Example: Turning Data into Growth
​
​
Imagine an e-commerce business struggling to increase sales. By analyzing their data, they discover that most of their traffic comes from social media, but their conversion rates are low. They use this insight to optimize their website for mobile users (since most social media traffic is mobile) and create targeted ads for high-intent audiences. As a result, their conversion rates double, and sales skyrocket.

Conclusion: Unlock Your Business’s Growth Potential
​
Data is a powerful tool, but only if you know how to use it. By following these steps, you can turn raw data into actionable growth strategies that drive real results.

At Colaeb, we specialize in helping businesses like yours transform data into measurable growth. From data analysis to strategy implementation, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Seven Takeaways from attending Camp Flog Gnaw's 10th Anniversary

11/19/2024

Picture
by Manny Larcher

​I attended the 10th Anniversary of Camp Flog Gnaw, created and curated by Tyler, the Creator, at Dodgers Stadium in Los Angeles over the weekend. I walked just under 24 miles, here a few takeaways:

- Accessibility was Tier 1. From a mobile app to shuttles and viewing areas, this event was an experience that included everyone in the process.

- Location. The parking lot of the Dodgers Stadium couldn't have been more perfect for this event, featuring three stages.

- Audience diversity. The lineup featured established musicians like Andre 3000 and Erykah Badu and new artists like Grammy-nominated Doechii and Daniel Caesar, with nearly 100,000 people of all ages in attendance.

- Carnival/Fair experience. There were at least a dozen rides and several games, all with custom gifts from the artists.

- Experiential Marketing. Most musicians and companies shy away from partnerships at music festivals, but large brands, from Toyota to American Express, were present with their interactive engagements.

- Food Options. There were nearly 30 options to choose from, one of the best food selection options at a festival I've ever experienced.

- Restrooms. Super crucial at a festival, there were numerous options, clean.

It was an overall great experience!
