INSIGHT

Marketing Is Generous Work

  • Marketing is the generous work of doing work that matters for people who care.
  • It includes product, production, community, network effects and the story you tell when you engage.
INSIGHT

Targeted Ads Are Announcements, Not Magic

  • Facebook-style targeting is announcement-based and strips privacy, but most ads are terrible and don't pay for themselves.
  • Advertisers interrupt the wrong people or lie, so ads fail despite platform power.
ADVICE

Don't Target The Middle

  • Avoid building average stuff for average people because there's no room for the middle anymore.
  • Make products that specific groups see themselves in and care enough to talk about.
