Three Piece Marketing
Most people think marketing fails because not enough people see their work.
But visibility is rarely the real problem.
In this episode of The Red Threads Pod, Jaime reframes marketing through a simple but powerful idea: movement only happens when awareness, trust, and tension work together.
Using analogies from dating, leadership, and everyday decision-making, this episode explores why:
Awareness without trust is just noise
Trust without tension creates comfort, not action
Tension is the missing ingredient that turns belief into movement
The Three-Piece Marketing Framework1. Awareness
Necessary, but overrated. Attention is the starting line, not the finish.
2. Trust
The scarce asset. Built through consistency, credibility, and earned relationships—not viral moments.
3. Tension
The invisible force that creates urgency. The gap between where someone is and where they could be—and what it costs to stay still.
Comfort is the enemy of action
Great marketing feels more like great leadership than promotion
Trust plus tension is what creates forward motion
If no one is moving, the issue isn’t awareness—it’s what’s missing after it
Brand Check QuestionLook at your last piece of marketing and ask:
Did this build real trust, or just try to be seen?
Did it create meaningful tension, or politely ask for attention?
If the answer is no, the system—not the effort—is broken.
