Cut Marketing, Kill Growth? Why Visibility Is NOT Optional

“If business is slow, marketing isn’t the problem—it’s the only solution.”
In this episode, Marcus Slater (Founder of AdCloud and Slater Digital Group) and Creative Director Mckenzie tackle one of the biggest mistakes franchise owners make when things get tight: cutting the marketing budget.

Spoiler alert: turning off the visibility faucet only makes things worse.

What you’ll learn in this episode:

• Why slashing your ad budget is like pulling the plug on your own oxygen
• What should go before marketing when you need to make cuts
• How to think about marketing as a long-term investment, not a quick fix
• What happens after you pause your ads—and why it’s rarely recoverable
• Why most businesses don’t have a leads problem… they have a closing problem
• How to build a smarter ad strategy that doesn’t waste your budget
• What to automate, what to track, and what to never stop doing
