The Marketing Artisan
A Blog Dedicated To All Things Marketing
Striking the perfect equilibrium between the intricate realm of technical and results-oriented marketing, the art of storytelling and inventive campaigns – that's where my passion lies. Through my personal blog, I embark on a journey to illuminate the nuances that often escape the spotlight. Real-world anecdotes become the canvas, and invaluable lessons become the brushstrokes that paint a vivid picture of the dynamic marketing landscape.
If marketing in 2025 feels like trying to defuse a bomb while riding a unicycle in a hurricane—you’re not alone. Let’s unpack the chaos, comedy, and constant recalibration.
Cannes Lions 2025 didn’t whisper about the future—it roared. From AI-fueled ideation to purpose-led storytelling and the rise of retail media as a creative frontier, this year’s summit delivered a clear message: the playbook has changed. If your campaigns aren’t co-created, culturally relevant, and emotionally intelligent—you’re already behind. Here’s what you need to rethink now, straight from the Croisette.
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how attention works. Not just in a theoretical sense, but in the very practical, boots-on-the-ground way that drives whether someone clicks or scrolls, watches or bounces. YouTube is one of the clearest microcosms of that battle - and lately, it’s been undergoing a transformation that too many brands and creators haven’t caught up with.
Apparently, teaching marketers how to work smarter is controversial now. My last post about building Custom GPTs caused a stir — and not the fun, cocktail kind. Some folks called it “cheating.” Others clutched their pearls like I’d suggested outsourcing soul.
Spoiler: I’m not sorry.
If AI can help you scale your voice, save your brain cells, and dodge burnout? I’ll take “cheating” all the way to the bank. This is my response — and my unapologetic argument for why future-forward marketers should be using AI like it’s 2026 already.

Google just announced an AI-powered marketing advisor that could change everything—from how we run campaigns to how we show up in search. It’s powerful. It’s exciting. And yes—it’s watching. In this post, I dig into what this tech means for marketers, why it’s both genius and slightly unnerving, and how we can harness the magic without handing over the map. Spoiler: The future is smart, but your instincts still matter.
If your AI still writes like it’s stuck in 2019, you’re doing it wrong.
In my latest blog, I break down how to build Custom GPTs inside ChatGPT — the kind that sound like you, work like you, and never need coffee breaks.

I used to spend my days bouncing from meeting to meeting, with little time left for follow-through or focus. In this special edition, I share how two AI tools—Claude and ChatGPT—helped me audit my workflow, cut down prep time, and create space to actually think. It’s not about doing more. It’s about doing better.

In this blog, we dive into the latest delay in Chrome’s plan to phase out third-party cookies (yes, again), poke a little fun at the endless pivoting, and break down what it means for marketers, publishers, and privacy advocates alike.

It might seem clever, but it’s actually one of the worst days of the year to go live with something real. On a day when the internet is flooded with fake products and pranks, your launch risks being ignored, misunderstood, or turned into a meme. Even worse? You miss the chance to actually have fun and show off your brand’s personality.
In this blog, we break down why April 1st is a terrible launch date and how to turn it into a creative win instead.
The outdoor industry isn’t dying—it’s evolving. While headlines shout doom and gloom, the truth is this moment isn’t a collapse, it’s a correction. The brands that over-ordered, under-innovated, and relied on hype instead of quality are feeling the squeeze—but that’s not the whole story. This is a once-in-a-generation opportunity to reimagine what we make, why we make it, and who we make it for. Innovation isn’t optional—it’s the path forward. Let’s stop treating this like a funeral and start treating it like a forge. The next era of outdoor is coming. The only question is: who’s ready to lead it?
In an era where brands have more tools, data, and channels than ever before, marketing should be in its golden age. Yet, instead of groundbreaking creativity, we’re stuck in a cycle of sameness. Marketing has become vanilla—bland, predictable, and indistinguishable.

Don't let AI limit your choices, learn how to spot and counteract marketing bias in the tools you rely on.
The apparel industry has fallen into a trap of sameness—recycled marketing messages, tired buzzwords, and "unique" selling points that aren't unique anymore.

The future belongs to those who dare to be different.
