Liquid Death marketing campaigns work because the brand made a single, irreversible decision early on: it would rather be ignored by most people than be forgettable to everyone. That choice, more than any individual campaign, explains why a company selling canned water in a crowded beverage market has built a brand with genuine cultural weight….
Marketing predictions are everywhere at the start of every year, and most of them age badly. Not because the people making them lack intelligence, but because they’re optimising for attention rather than accuracy. The ones worth paying attention to are grounded in structural shifts, not surface-level trend-spotting. What follows isn’t a list of things that…
Marketing industry publications are where the profession talks to itself. Some of that conversation is genuinely useful. A lot of it is not. Knowing which sources sharpen your thinking and which ones quietly dull it is one of the more underrated skills a senior marketer can develop. The landscape spans trade press, research houses, academic…
The most instructive marketing campaigns of 2025 were not the ones with the biggest budgets or the most press coverage.

The platforms are different, the audiences behave differently on each one, and the operational overhead of keeping everything coherent, on-brand, and measurable is significant. Most teams underestimate this until they are already in it. The challenges are not just technical. They are strategic,…
