Good Marketing, Bad Marketing and One Campaign That Almost Ruined a Brand

Some marketing campaigns stop you mid-scroll and make you think — that was genius. Others make you wonder how it ever got approved. In this episode of Running With Wolves, Savannah breaks down four real world marketing campaigns — the good, the bad and the truly wild — and what every single one of them teaches us about buyer psychology, modern brand building and where marketing is heading. From a sales coach who built massive trust by literally showing people how she thinks, to a salon owner whose consultation videos became a triple threat of virality, engagement and conversions, to a Real Housewives cast member who turned public mockery into a digital product — and finally to a brand that completely misread its audience's emotional reality and paid the price for it.
