Most of your marketing is going to fail. And that’s not a problem…unless you pretend it didn’t.

Daniel and Jay get honest about falling on your face and getting back up again. 

Jay breaks down how even “successful” metrics, like a 47% open rate, are still rooted in failure and why marketers need to get comfortable with those numbers if they ever want to grow. 

Daniel emphasizes the importance of creating a culture where failure is analyzed and shared. And, they explore how holding onto a bad idea can drain budgets, tank morale, and stop better ideas from getting the attention they deserve. How do you pick things up when it seems like a failure? 

This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about going when the going gets tough. 🚽
