Anyone who says marketing is about “big ideas” has never tried to book a demo in late January when everyone feels behind and allergic to time commitments. Jay Schwedelson and Daniel Murray get weirdly tactical about a simple lever that quietly boosts conversions right now: making everything feel shorter, sharper, and more specific. Also, yes, there is a strong plane baby strategy, and it involves apology gift bags, poopy diaper urgency, and an app that basically predicts human needs like a tiny marketing oracle.
