On marketing projects for summer & upcoming Q&A Bonjour from my garden, which is where I promised to go after leaving LinkedIn for good. Well I kept my promise. It is summer in London, and this made me think on the question as ancient as pyramids: What are marketers supposed to do during the summer slow season? First, a couple of updates. Later, some recommendations for summer workdays (read until point 5 – the most important one). As always, thx for reading and forwarding to others. Q&A:...

On LinkedIn fatigue, online slop, and saying goodbye to all that This issue of Marketing Fix is about giving up, finally and gladly, on LinkedIn. I believe that the social platform has reached its final phase – end of civilisation, if you please – where 80% of posts & comments are generated by AI bots and people behaving like bots. First, some thoughts on how we got there. Later, a hopeful note on rediscovering meaning. As always, thx for reading and forwarding to others. How LinkedIn went...

Hi fellow marketer, This issue of the bi-weekly Marketing Fix newsletter will explore our growing dependence – and expenditure – on subscription-based services. If you find the idea compelling, please forward this email to a friend or colleague to extend the discussion. Welcome to the Era of Subscriptions In the early 2020s, most of us had a manageable number of subscription-based articles embellishing our lives: B2B software and gym memberships. In 2025, most of us are paying for 20+...

This week, LinkedIn was awash with bad design examples A few hours after Chat GPT announced GPT-4o with image generation features, LinkedIn feed was awash with posts showing a mediocre visual created with the tool. Each promised a magical AI prompt in exchange for a comment. And thousands of people did sheepishly comment... Let me give you the actual prompt used by the self-proclaimed "experts" (example) so you won't have to comment: "Upload a screenshot of another brand's marketing creative...

I found an AI use case I like. And it's not saving but wasting time. But first, here are two new freebies I created this week, with non-gated access to Marketing Fix readers: 10x Chapter #1 of Marketing Audit Questions (Notion) LinkedIn Content Planning Template (Google Sheets) Also, I'm launching a new marketing course (!) on B2B Ad Creatives. More on this later. I just wanted to change my blog's theme & aesthetics... This week, I made the questionable decision to change my marketing blog's...

Social media in 2025: Go ALL IN or go ALL OUT A week ago, preparing the Social Media chapter of my marketing audit course, I had a revelation. In 2025, social media has become an ALL IN or ALL OUT marketing channel. By ALL IN, I mean that to get results from organic social media (Instagram, TikTok, LinkedIn), brands (read: marketers) need to work hard. By hard work, I mean a 100% dedication to a social platform: 3-5 high-quality posts per week that can compete with big brands' social teams &...

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly of LinkedIn Ads This week, I was researching LinkedIn ad creatives for one of my upcoming marketing courses. First, I scrolled my feed: only the bad and the ugly. Defeated and bored, I resorted to the LinkedIn Ad Library and checked the high-growth B2B brands. What I found was the day to my LI feed's night. What high-growth B2B brands do differently: Experimentation ➡️ 50+ active ad creatives Proven best practices ➡️ top-performing ad types Irresistible...
