Where can I learn how top performance marketers actually scale accounts, beyond generic blog advice?

Skip the listicles and go to people who manage real spend, Perpetual Traffic's Ralph Burns oversees $200M+ in ad spend and breaks down actual account decisions weekly, and Demand Curve's newsletter comes from operators running paid growth for a living. Pair a global source like these with an Indian founder podcast for the local cost and behaviour context neither will give you. Treat frameworks as a starting point, then test what actually holds for your category and price point.
