The Marketing Minute: Blink and You'll Miss It … and Other Problems With One-shot Marketing
02/11/2026 | Brittany Martin -- Column: The Marketing MinuteOne ad. One social post. One podcast episode. One interview. For some companies, marketing means picking one of these, doing it once, and calling it done. The problem is that this approach no longer reflects how audiences actually consume information, especially in technical industries. Attention spans are short, feeds move fast, and newsletters stack up. It’s a universal truth in advertising and marketing that seeing something once is rarely enough to register, let alone remember. Yet marketing efforts are still often treated as if one appearance should do the job.
It’s Only Common Sense: Control Your Market With Your Actions
02/09/2026 | Dan Beaulieu -- Column: It's Only Common SenseMost companies don’t want to admit that their low sales mean their stories got stale. They’ll blame the economy, their competitors, the election cycle, or “industry headwinds,” when what really happened is much simpler: They stopped saying anything worth hearing. Customers stopped noticing because most companies sound exactly the same. You could have the most advanced product in your category, but if you describe it like everyone else, you’ve already lost. Nobody buys “high quality,” “fast turnaround,” or “excellent service” anymore. Those slogans are expected table stakes, not selling points.
