THE BLOG IS BACK 🐳

Most of us by now have seen the ad Good Good and Callaway released last week. This blog isn't another review of just how tone deaf the ad itself was.

As mind-blowing as it is that it was ever created, approved, and released, I actually think what both companies did in the aftermath of it all did more damage than good for them, and ultimately led to where we are now.

Lessons learned, questions I still have, and more in the first Blue Whale blog of the new era 🌊

Google and Social Media are not doing the same job.

One captures demand that already exists, while the other builds awareness that helps generate that demand in the first place.

If you've been feeling frustrated about your social media not working lately, this is for you. 🌊

If you need support on managing your team that you've hired to execute your vision, I can guide you.

If your summer student has questions you don't have the answer to, schedule this call for them.

1 hour, one-on-one with me, $199 CAD instead of $249.

Your marketing team is probably doing exactly what you asked them to do.

That's the problem 👀

Not because your team is incompetent.

Because YOU, the CEO, the executive director, the person with seventeen other priorities — are still the one making the marketing calls.

You're approving the content. Reviewing the campaign. Getting pulled into budget conversations you didn't plan to have.

Sitting in on meetings that should never be on your calendar in the first place.

Your team is waiting for direction that should be coming from someone else. And until it does, you're not the CEO.

You're the marketing director with extra steps.

What I actually do as a Fractional Chief Marketing Officer goes deeper than strategy and tactics. I manage the team for you. I own the budget decisions. I make the calls that free you up to run your organization.

That's what it means to have a real marketing partner — not someone executing for you, but someone operating alongside you so you can stop doing the job that isn't yours.

If your calendar has more marketing meetings than it should, let's talk.

Blue Whale offers Fractional CMO services for organizations that need senior marketing leadership without the full-time hire.

Someone who sits at the leadership table, owns the function, and gives you your time back.

"I don't bother with social media; in fact, I don't need to market my business. I get all of my clients from referrals and word of mouth."

I hear this all the time 🫣

And I have to tell you... it's a risky move.

Word of mouth is not a marketing strategy. In fact, it's the exact opposite. It puts the growth of your business directly into the hands of other people.

You have no control over who they tell, what they say, or when. It's a byproduct of doing good work (which of course matters, but it's just not a strategy.)

Neither is posting on Instagram.

I know that's not what you want to hear, especially if you've been doing both, and they've been working, kind of, some of the time.

But if your pipeline feels inconsistent, if you're riding waves of busy and slow with no idea why, I'd ask you, honestly: do you have a strategy, or do you have a few things you do and hope for the best?

The reality for most businesses is that what they think is marketing, actually isn't.

And what they don't think is important for consumers, actually is.

That's why at Blue Whale we look at the full picture. Internal AND external. Social media AND your PR campaign. Newsletters AND what communications go out after someone books a call with you.

All of it matters. And if you're currently relying on word of mouth and a few Instagram posts here and there, you're going to be left scratching your head when suddenly it feels like it "isn't working anymore".

Fix those gaps before you even notice they're there, and the second half of 2026 will feel like someone waved a magic wand for you 🌊

This is a judgement-free zone, and I'm curious: are you guilty of relying on word of mouth? Where do YOU think the biggest gaps in your marketing and communications lie?
