Stop Running Marketing Campaigns No One Cares About

Let’s talk about your strategy for marketing campaigns

Because here’s the truth:

Most campaigns fail because they’re lazy.

→ Generic copy.
→ Vague promises.
→ Stock-photo vibes.
→ “Targeting everyone” so it resonates with no one.

If your campaign sounds like it was written by a corporate chatbot, why would anyone care?

You can’t phone in your strategy and expect it to convert.

If you want people to buy, share, or sign up, you have to actually give a damn.

Why “Spray and Pray” Doesn’t Work

The days of blasting the same boring message everywhere and hoping for the best are over.

Your audience is bombarded by hundreds of ads every day.

They know when you’re mailing it in.

And they know when you’re speaking just to them.

If your marketing campaign feels like a mass-produced postcard, don’t be surprised when it ends up in the trash.

What Actually Makes a Marketing Campaign Convert?

Spoiler: It’s not just clever headlines or big budgets.

It’s empathy.

It’s knowing your audience well enough to:
→ Speak their language.
→ Solve their problem.
→ Make them feel seen.

It’s strategy that puts them first.

How to Build a Marketing Campaign Strategy That Actually Converts

Let’s stop overcomplicating it—and make it personal.

1. Know Exactly Who You’re Talking To

No, not “women ages 18–45.”

Who are they?

→ What do they want right now?
→ What’s in their way?
→ What would make them say, “holy shit, I need this”?

If you can’t answer these, your campaign is toast.

2. Speak Like a Human

Your audience isn’t a “segment.” They’re people.

→ Ditch the corporate buzzwords.
→ Write like you’re texting a friend.
→ Make them feel understood—not sold to.

3. Make It About Them, Not You

Stop saying:
→ “We’re industry leaders.”
→ “We’re so passionate.”
→ “Our process is unique.”

Start saying:
→ “Here’s how this makes your life easier.”
→ “This solves that problem for you.”
→ “You deserve better.”

4. Give a Damn About the Details

→ Targeting.
→ Timing.
→ Creative.
→ Offer.

If you’re lazy about any of them, your audience will know.

Show them you actually care enough to get it right.

5. Measure What Matters

Vanity metrics don’t pay the bills.

→ Clicks don’t equal conversions.
→ Impressions don’t equal sales.

Know what result you actually want—and optimize for that.

Marketing Campaigns That Work Feel Personal

If you want to convert, you have to connect.

Your campaign should feel like a message just for them.

Stop trying to reach everyone.
Start giving a damn about someone.
