Modern marketing
is a race to the bottom.

The art of marketing has been forgotten. Most companies are squabbling for attention through a handful of channels which they pay more for every year.

But that was never the point. It’s actually about building a relationship with the customer by showing them that you understand them and the problems they face.

Brush past them

The medium changes. The mechanics don’t.

Five hundred years of the same game.

Every era had its own cheap channel, and every era paid whoever found it first. Only the medium changes.

Four reasons a channel stays cheap. Four ways in.

The best channels stay underpriced because most teams skip them, and each reason to skip is a reason it’s still cheap. No front door: no ad product, so money can’t buy in, only work can. Can’t prove it: attention is real but attribution is bad, so we take those channels on purpose. Too much lifting: entry needs code or manual work that doesn’t scale, so we build the tooling. Barely exists: the channel is too new, so we get in first.

Brands moving before the crowd.

Featured work: companies getting into channels while they’re still cheap: Jellycat, Brompton Bicycle, Analogue, Amie, Readwise, Krea AI, Daylight Computer, GLIF.
