231. How to Catch Costly Marketing Mistakes Before Your Customers Do

Marketing mistakes that make it through the approval process can lead to customer backlash, damaged brand reputation, and costly rework. In this episode of Frictionless Growth Lab, Sonia Thompson explores what the Callaway and Good Good Golf ad controversy reveals about a problem many brands face: marketing approval processes that aren’t equipped to catch cultural issues before customers do. You’ll learn how to strengthen your marketing approval process with clearer criteria, greater cultural intelligence, and the right escalation paths—so your team can identify potential problems before campaigns reach customers.
