You probably don’t need another marketing tactic…..
You might actually need fewer.

I speak to so many businesses doing:

SEO
GOOGLE ADS
SOCIAL MEDIA
EMAIL
CONTENT

And now obviously AI

They’re doing loads of marketing.

But asking a simple question…
“Why are you doing all of this”
And things can get a bit fuzzy!

That’s the problem..

Adding another tactic isn’t going fix a marketing strategy that isn’t working

Before doing more, I’d ask:

What are we actually trying to achieve?
What’s working right now?
Whats not?
What have we learnt?
How do the different parts of our marketing work together?
And what’s the next sensible thing we should do?

I’m a massive believer in marketing strategy.
But I’m also a believer in just getting started!

Those aren’t opposites

Have enough of a plan to know where you’re going

Then start.
Test things
Learn.
Change the direction when you need to.
And build from there.

Marketing doesn’t need to be anywhere near as complicated as we sometimes make it

One of the biggest reasons marketing goals fail?

They're too vague.

"Improve engagement."
"Get more traffic."
"Grow the business."

They sound good in a meeting, but they're almost impossible to measure.

That's why SMART goals remain one of the most effective frameworks in marketing.

A goal should be:

Specific.
Measurable.
Achievable.
Relevant.
Time-bound.

The deadline is particularly important because it creates urgency and accountability.

For example:

Instead of:
"Improve email engagement."

Try:
"Increase email open rates by 15% within three months by A/B testing subject lines."

Now you have something you can actually track, review, and improve.

But here's another important lesson:

Not all marketing goals should be measured the same way.

Different campaigns have different jobs.

Awareness campaigns are designed to reach new audiences.

Their goals might focus on:
Reach.
Impressions.
Website visitors.
Brand visibility.

Lead generation campaigns will have completely different measures of success.

And that's where many businesses get caught out.

They're judging every campaign against the same metrics when each campaign is trying to achieve something different.

The clearer you are about the purpose of a campaign, the easier it becomes to set meaningful goals and measure real success.

Because marketing works best when every activity has a clear objective attached to it.

One of the most underrated skills in marketing?

Knowing when to change direction.

I once worked with a client whose primary goal was growing their Instagram following.

The plan was clear.
The team was aligned.
The campaigns were running.

But halfway through, the data told a different story.

We discovered their email marketing was converting significantly better than their social traffic.

So we made a decision.

We pivoted.

We shifted resources.
We redirected team effort.
We focused on the channel delivering the strongest results.

The outcome?

More than a 40% increase in revenue.

That growth wouldn't have happened if we'd stubbornly stuck to the original plan.

That's why goals are important.
But adaptability is just as important.

The purpose of a goal isn't to lock yourself into one path.

It's to give you a destination while allowing you to adjust the route when new information appears.

And that's where data becomes invaluable.

Keep your goals visible.

If you're in an office, put them on the wall.

If you're a remote team, review them in every team meeting.

Make sure everyone understands:
What we're trying to achieve.
How we're measuring it.
Whether we're on track.

Because when goals stay visible, accountability follows.

And when accountability is combined with a willingness to adapt, you create something even more valuable:

A culture of continuous improvement.

Not every campaign will succeed.

Some will fail completely.
Some will exceed expectations.
Most will sit somewhere in the middle.

The important question isn't whether a campaign worked.

It's what you learned from it.

Without clear goals, even the best marketing strategy will struggle.

It’s like a ship without a rudder.

Busy.
Moving.
Burning resources.

But ultimately heading nowhere.

And yet, vague goals are still one of the most common issues I see when working with businesses.

"We want more brand awareness."

"We want to grow."

"We want to do better than last year."

They sound positive, but they don't give anyone a clear direction.

The problem is that when goals lack clarity:

Teams focus on different priorities.
Campaigns lose direction.
Resources get wasted.
And nobody can confidently say what's working and what isn't.

Everything becomes guesswork.

I saw this firsthand with a SaaS business operating on a very limited pre-funding budget.

When I asked about their marketing goal, the answer was simple:

"We just want to do better than last year."

But what does "better" actually mean?

More customers?
More revenue?
Higher retention?
Lower churn?

Until you answer those questions, it's impossible to build an effective strategy.

Because marketing isn't just about activity.

It's about moving the business towards a clearly defined outcome.

And the clearer that outcome is, the easier it becomes to make the right decisions, measure progress, and get everyone pulling in the same direction.

AI is powerful.

Automation is powerful.

But neither should replace being human.

One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is assuming every customer interaction should be automated.

It shouldn’t.

There’s no doubt AI can improve efficiency, personalise experiences, and save enormous amounts of time.

But there are moments where empathy, creativity, and human judgement matter far more than speed.

Especially when conversations become complex or emotional.

That’s where people still make the difference.

Take B2B lead generation as an example.

Automated outreach can be incredibly effective when it reaches the right person at the right time.

But what happens next matters even more.

The follow-up.
The conversation.
The discovery call.
The Zoom meeting.
The phone call.
Even a handwritten note or something sent through the post.

Those are often the moments that build trust.

The real opportunity isn't choosing between AI and people.

It's finding the right balance between the two.

Use AI to handle repetitive tasks.
Use automation to improve efficiency.
Use technology to enhance the customer experience.

But keep human creativity, empathy, and relationship-building at the heart of your brand.

Because the businesses that stand out won't just be the ones using AI.

They'll be the ones using it responsibly, transparently, and in a way that strengthens trust rather than replacing it.

The most powerful marketing skill isn't cleverness.

It's sincerity.

And that's something Leo Burnett understood better than most.

Sincerity doesn't mean being soft.

It means being direct.
Thoughtful.
Honest.

It means communicating in a way that feels real.

Too much marketing today is obsessed with sounding impressive, going viral, or chasing attention.

But people connect with authenticity far more than they connect with perfection.

A simple test for your next piece of marketing:

If you had 10 seconds to explain your product or service to someone you genuinely cared about, what would you say?

Not your mission statement.
Not your industry jargon.
Not your buzzwords.

Just the truth.

Because when people feel like they're hearing something genuine, they pay attention.

And that's why Burnett's work didn't just sell products.

It built brands that people remembered.

His approach was remarkably simple:

Build stories.
Create meaningful symbols.
Connect with people emotionally.

Because great marketing doesn't start with the product.

It starts with people.

What they feel.
What they value.
What they aspire to become.

Get that right, and everything else becomes easier.

The copy.
The visuals.
The campaigns.

They all start working together because they're built on something real.

Just because something sounds clever doesn’t mean it communicates clearly.

And that’s a lesson far too many marketers still need to learn.

One of the principles championed by David Ogilvy was simple:

"If it doesn't sell, it isn't creative."

Not if it wins awards.
Not if it sounds intelligent.
Not if it impresses other marketers.

If it doesn't help customers make a decision, it isn't doing its job.

Yet websites are still full of phrases like:

"Reimagining the future of connected experiences."

What does that actually mean?

A software platform?
A phone?
A consultancy?
A wellness retreat?

Who knows.

The problem with clever marketing is that it often prioritises sounding impressive over being understood.

Great marketing does the opposite.

It asks:
What does the product actually do?
What benefit does it provide?
How can we explain that as clearly as possible?

Because clarity is a competitive advantage.

So before you publish your next website page, advert, or social post, ask yourself:

Could a stranger understand this in five seconds?
Would a customer immediately know what's in it for them?
Am I trying to be clever, or am I trying to be useful?

You don't need to impress people.

You need to help them decide.
