We’ve stumbled, fallen, but most importantly, we’ve learned. Journey through our missteps and discover how turning failures into stepping stones is the real game changer!
THE MISSTEPS
Playing the game and learning the hard way.
Wrong Partners, Wrong Path
Ever teamed up with the wrong folks? We have. Misaligned partnerships can derail even the best ideas.
Tech Misadventures
Building technology no one wants is like scoring on your team’s goal. Yep, we’ve been there.
Agency Ups and Downs
Scaled an agency, only to hand it over to the wrong crowd. A slam dunk into the wrong basket.
Lifestyle Brand Pitfall
Selling a lifestyle brand seemed right, until it wasn’t. Sometimes, you pass the ball too soon.
The MOBILE APP Debacle
Six years, nearly a million dollars, and what did we get? A front-row seat to a testing fiasco.
MARKETING FUMBLES
In the fast-paced world of marketing, we’ve experienced our share of offsides and dropped balls.
Speeding Past Strategy
Scaling at warp speed without a game plan? Done that. Results? About as good as a no-look backhand.
Inventory Issues
No inventory is like playing without a defense. Trust us, it’s not a winning strategy.
ROI Blindspots
Ever spent without measuring? It’s like playing without keeping score.
One-Track Marketing
Relied solely on affiliates? We learned the hard way why multi-channel is the MVP.
