There's no secret sauce when it comes to smart marketing. Instead there's research, connection building, community management, content creation, content repurposing, platform management, AND SO MUCH MORE. Hacks and algorithm chasing won't in in the long run. #MarketingSky #Marketing

I've gone all in on many social media platforms in the past.

I've never gone all in on building my email list, despite knowing it was the smart thing to do.

That ends in 2025! Some marketing, a little music, and plenty of Mallie's hack horror stories.

Email subscription form screen capture. Text reads: Do, Don't Chase! Marketing, Mallie, AND Music, OH MY! Emails land in your inbox Tuesday mornings. We'll Hulk SMASH hacks and algorithm-chasing shenanigans and replace them with smart, savvy, and sound marketing strategies and practices. With a little music and plenty of Mallie, too!

My biggest marketing pet peeve involves blanket statements. Few marketing questions are answered with "always" or "never" propositions. It almost ALWAYS depends.

Blanket statements rarely EVEN apply to blankets themselves!

Marketing savvy isn't enough to get me to connect with you. I want to know who you are and what makes you tick. On and off the clock. Love music? YES! Read a lot? You're in like Flynn.

What's your jam? What, beyond your job, makes you Y-O-U?

Screen capture of my Discogs account. When you shake your phone while in your collection it chooses an item at random. Today's selection is And Out Come The Wolves by Rancid.

Name a show you're positive no one remembers but you.
Five people stand, while one kneels in front of them. All are dressed in period western attire, dating to the time of the Pony Express. Five are male, one is a female dressed as a male. This is the cover photos for a TV series called The Young Riders.
