The Marketing Minute: If Your Marketing Budget Gets Cut in Half, Then What?
05/13/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteHypothetically, let’s say your marketing budget gets cut in half tomorrow. (I’m stressed just thinking about it!) But here’s the real question: Would your actual marketing strategy change, or just the amount of money behind it? Because those are not the same thing. Markets go up and down. Budgets can tighten.
