marketing

Marketing is part art, part science, and part educated guessing. The founders here know all three. They’ve built agencies, launched brands, and figured out how to get people to pay attention. Which, in a world drowning in content, is no small feat.

These interviews cover the full spectrum. SEO. Content marketing. Social media. Brand strategy. Paid acquisition. Influencer marketing back before everyone was an influencer. The landscape keeps changing, and the people featured here have been adapting in real time.

What makes these conversations different from another marketing blog is the source. These aren’t theorists. They’re people who’ve spent actual money on actual campaigns and lived to tell the tale. Some of the tales involve spectacular failure. Those are usually the most useful ones.

You’ll find insights on building marketing teams, measuring what matters, creative strategy, and the eternal tension between brand building and performance marketing. If you’re a marketer, you’ll find people who’ve solved problems you’re dealing with right now. If you’re a founder trying to figure out marketing, you’ll find people who can point you in a direction. Not the direction. A direction. That’s how marketing works.
