The bandwagon effect.

It’s about how people follow a crowd, simply because it is the crowd.

And businesses take advantage of this all the time.

Here's how they do it.

Maybe it wasn't the budget. Or the creative.

Perhaps... there's something larger at play here 👀

For this week, you need to explain why your campaign didn't perform well, but make it out to be a conspiracy theory.

Leave your theories in the comments.

Jargon is killing your brand.

Words like “Bandwidth” in technology. “Probate” in law. “Equity” in finance.

People find this kind of language really irritating.

So just stop using it.

"Why did you miss that deadline?"

"I'm sorry but I had an urgent fire that I needed to put out"

The "fire" in question...

It's tempting to add buzzwords to your copy.

But there's a fine line between creating hype and sounding like a salesperson. And using sales-y language can harm trust in your product.

Ask yourself, is this a fact or opinion? (Hint: our 'great' service is an opinion.)

"If we don't want to rock the boat, we're invisible."

There's a lot to learn from Dave Trott.

With new brands popping up, and how easy it is to create ad campaigns, we see a lot of waffle.

So be more like Dave Trott. Rock the boat. Take a creative chance.

Otherwise you're going to set yourself up for endless rounds of feedback and a serious headache.
