                      In episode #2630, We discuss the concept of "what's old is new again" in marketing. We highlight the importance of considering industry-specific strategies and adapting them to the current market conditions. We provide examples of how old marketing channels, like direct mail, can still be effective when targeting specific audiences. We also discuss the limitations of relying solely on new marketing techniques, such as using AI-generated content, and emphasize the importance of expertise, authority, and trust in creating valuable content.

                      In episode #2629, We discuss how to deal with ad fatigue in the ever-evolving world of marketing. We define ad fatigue as the decline in performance due to repetitive ads. Signs of ad fatigue include increasing frequency, decreasing impressions-to-clicks ratio, and dropping conversion rates. To combat ad fatigue, we recommend changing up creatives, testing different call-to-actions and hooks, expanding targeting, excluding past viewers, utilizing different ad formats, and remarketing to non-converters. We emphasize the importance of continually testing new creatives, landing pages, and audiences to combat ad fatigue.
