Pretty (Ineffective) Marketing: The High Cost of Using a Creative-Only Agency
Many businesses fall into the trap of hiring marketing agencies that deliver beautiful branding, slick websites, and pretty ads — but fail to generate leads or drive sales. Here are five good reasons to avoid that type of marketing.
Style Without Substance Is a Pretty Big Mistake

So many companies make the same mistake: they lead with what they sell and why they’re good at it. While this may sound counterintuitive, leading with who you serve and what problems you solve resonates with prospects and customers in a far more powerful way – especially when you craft a compelling story around the needs of your clients.

The problem with the traditional approach to messaging is that it only works if the products, services and solutions you sell align exactly with what your prospects think they need. What if they don’t know what they want? What if they’re wrong?
