Indispensable Marketers Earn Autonomy in Just 10 Minutes Per Week

I spent years thinking Jake, our CEO, was a micromanager. (And HATING him for it). He’d review ads like his life depended on it, question decisions I’d already made, and continually ask about our campaigns days after we’d agreed on them. Every time it happened I read it the same way: he doesn’t trust me […]

In Marketing Execution, Effort Doesn’t Count

Your team is busier than they’ve ever been. Three new channels this year. A content calendar nobody can keep up with. Two tests running that somebody will interpret eventually. Weekly reporting that takes a full day to assemble and gets skimmed in four minutes. Everyone is working. Nobody is resting. And if your CEO asked […]

Marketing Reporting for Executives: The Four Zones Every Marketing Leader Lives In

Your numbers are fine this month. Not spectacular. Fine. Volume’s steady cost per acquisition is what it is, nothing’s on fire. No one in leadership is asking you hard questions. And if somebody did ask why things look the way they do, you couldn’t give them a real answer. You’d give them a version of […]

Dealership groups, regional OEMs, and automotive e-commerce brands need specialized marketing partners who understand how to […]

Audit Your Own Customer Journey Before Your CEO Does

Here’s a conversation that happens in companies every day, and nobody wins it. The CEO looks at the P&L and asks why the numbers are off. The marketer points at the dashboard and says the campaigns are working. They’re both telling the truth. And they’re both missing it, because nobody in that room has walked […]

We Fired 70% of Our Clients: Here’s the Math

Next Wednesday, Sept 30, 1PM ET. Jake and I are going live for an hour on the Trust Gap and the system we built to close it. Free, no recording, and everyone who stays to the end gets a copy of the book shipped before it’s on sale. Save your seat. Most agencies won’t tell […]

Maybe Your CEO Isn’t the Problem

The growth target came down last week. Grow 40%. The marketing budget did not move. You’ve run the numbers enough times to know those two things can’t both be true, and you’ve been sitting with a version of the same thought ever since: how am I supposed to do that? He wants more revenue and […]

AI Can Do Your Marketing Job for 2% of Your Salary

Your CEO asks what the marketing strategy is. You open a deck. Here are the channels. Here’s what we’re testing. Here’s the calendar, here’s the spend by platform, here’s where we landed on CPL last month. He listens, and then he asks again. Not because he’s being difficult. Because nothing you showed him told him […]
