Where Premium Brands Come To Grow
In the last 2 weeks alone I’ve had three brand owners come to me, all with the same story. They’ve been told by marketing “experts” that every single EDM, every Meta ad needs a discount incentive.

January is supposed to be about planning. It’s goal-setting season. It’s “new year, new you” energy. It’s the time when every business podcast – including, historically, this one – tells you to set your revenue targets, map out your marketing calendar, and basically plan your way to world domination.
