This One Word Saved Our Campaign (and Sanity)
Manage episode 492357285 series 3602918
In this episode of Marketing Team of One, Eric and Mike take a step back to reflect on a stretch of time when their own internal project hit a wall—not because of lack of effort, but because clarity was missing in action. They explore how easy it is to confuse motion with progress, and how fuzzy goals, undefined audiences, unclear messaging, or even vague project scopes can quietly create marketing bottlenecks. For solo marketers juggling strategy, execution, and everything in between, this episode is a reminder that clarity isn’t just helpful—it’s foundational. Tune in for relatable lessons, candid reflection, and a few metaphorical buckets of water.
