Welcome to the 35th issue of The Marketing Newsletter!
We’re pumped to share a killer guest piece in this week’s The Marketing Newsletter! This one’s a wake-up call for anyone trying to win in 2025’s wild AI-driven world.
Kerry Morrison drops truth bombs about why AI isn’t the revolution—what you do with it is. He breaks down how we’re in a bigger gold rush than the early internet days (think Google, Amazon, eBay), but most people are gonna fumble it by chasing hype, shiny tools, or clout instead of building something real.
The piece digs into the traps - wasting time on AI wrappers or trend-chasing - and lays out what actually matters: solving real problems, knowing your audience, and staying laser-focused on value. He even shares how he built Scoutzie, an AI agent to help turn raw ideas into legit MVPs, fast. If you’re sitting on an idea but don’t know where to start, this is your playbook.
Read the full article to get the no-BS guide to standing out in this noisy era. It’s packed with insights on execution, taste, and why the fundamentals still rule. Plus, if you’re ready to make your idea real, check out Scoutzie. Don’t sleep on this one—let’s build something that matters!
