Why Your Marketing Needs To Be Messy

The danger of chasing clarity is that you end up with marketing that’s easy to understand but impossible to feel. People don’t buy from the clearest message, the buy from the most resonant one.

The Problem With The β€œSexy Sell”

Our job as marketers, as conscious business owners, isn’t just to give people what they think they want. It’s to create awareness around why they want it, and what they might actually need instead.

Because yes, people buy the sexy sell.
