Field notes

Ideas from the work.

Short reflections on campaigns, content, customer journeys, positioning and the practical side of marketing.

Campaigns

Why a campaign doesn't end at the lead form.

The hand-off from advertising to nurture is part of the marketing experience, not an afterthought.

Positioning

Why “we provide quality service” isn't a positioning strategy.

Useful positioning starts with a specific audience, a meaningful problem and a reason to choose you.

Content

What makes marketing content actually useful?

Content earns attention when it helps the audience make a decision, understand a problem or see a possibility.

CRM

The gap between a lead and a customer.

Lead generation creates an opportunity. Nurture, trust and a clear next step help turn that opportunity into action.

Web

Your website is part of the campaign.

Ad creative can create interest, but the website has to make the proposition credible and easy to act on.

Personal brand

What I’m learning by marketing myself.

Building this site is a practical experiment in positioning, proof, distribution and measurement.
