Full-Time and Fractional Marketing Leadership that moves hearts and results.
What is the Marketing Lie Hidden
in plain sight?
What do you think marketing leadership is really about in 2025?
Strategy?
Research → Plan → Choose channels → Push messages?
Execution?
SEO. Social. Ads. Events. Email Marketing. Influencers. Repeat?
LLMs and Automation?
Leveraging Large Language Models and AI Agents?
And when it doesn’t bring the expected results?
Do it again — louder.
New messaging, new creatives, new logo, more automation, more content, more posts, more hooks, more hacks etc.?
Looks legit, right?
This is the standard playbook for mainstream marketing today that marketing leadership predominantly follow.
What Do the Statistics Say?
Something needs to change. Now!
Marketers became Magicians at "Marketing" Marketing Services
...through success stories, shiny portfolios, nice decks, and testimonials — like
my 26,900% growth on a single case study. But at the same time they hide failure like childhood traumas, even if those were for some the best teachers.
What's the point of showing yourself as an expert in mainstream marketing...
when statistics look like this, and companies are bleeding marketing budgets?
No past success proves future capability. If that were the case, it would be easy to win the lottery.
If a marketer can’t prove the ability to duplicate success in a dynamic landscape — what are marketers actually selling?
Predictable growth based on past performance? The classic Gambling Syndrome in Marketing.
Good luck with that.
Marketing at it's core is about something else.
Something most marketers avoid talking about.
Why? Because it’s
hard to understand
and
even harder to master.
And that essence is:
Understanding Human Perception
Why is this the most critical skill in Marketing?
Our Brain is not designed to see reality-
it's designed to interpret it.
As measured by Caltech scientists in 2024,
our sensory systems collect around 1 billion bits of data per second,
but the brain only processes 10 bits per second.
As interesting and impressive as this fact is, it doesn’t even scratch the surface of the real questions:
1.
How do we filter those 10 bits out of the billion?
2.
Which routes do they take to enter our awareness?
The architecture of human experience
The process by which our sensory systems gather data, how this data transforms into attention, and how attention evolves into meaning is the essential step in comprehending and engaging with audiences.
Why?
Because most marketing (mostly assumption-based or ignoring this step) dies in the first 3 layers.
It never makes it into awareness.
And the reason?
Emotions are absent from most Marketing Frameworks.
Emotion Comes First — Literally
Joseph LeDoux revealed in his seminal work, the amygdala receives sensory input faster than the cortex, meaning emotions can be triggered before conscious thought even begins.
Antonio Damasio famously concluded in Descartes’ Error that emotion is integral to decision-making — not separate from logic, but a necessary component of perception and judgment.
Lisa Feldman Barrett further advanced this with her Theory of Constructed Emotion, arguing that emotions are how the brain makes sense of bodily sensations and incoming data — shaping how we perceive the world.
Ask yourself:
How much attention do you give to things you don’t care about?
How often do you choose to focus on something completely irrelevant, boring, or meaningless to you?
Exactly.
- If you don’t feel it, you don’t see it.
- If you don’t care, you don’t perceive.
In short:
- Emotion isn’t a reaction to perception.
- Emotion is a critical filter of perception.
How to navigate the Perceptual filter?
The Emotional Compass
is a strategic framework built around the four core emotional forces that have the power to pierce perception and shape decisions:
Loyalty. IMPACT. VALUE. Passion
(For more information, please check this video: The Emotional Engagement Marketing Funnel)
Each one speaks directly to human motivation, attention, and meaning — the forces that actually move people. We won’t go into detail here — that comes later — but understand this:
Without these forces aligned in your marketing, your message may not survive the filter.
(This serves as a teaser image.)
This is where it all comes together.
The Emotional Engagement Marketing Funnel is a dynamic funnel that works as an add-on to classic marketing frameworks — not a replacement, but a critical layer of emotional intelligence applied to traditional strategy.
At its core lie two things:
Marketing Frameworks need to be built around what customers love, not what they hate.
This funnel reframes how we move from awareness to loyalty —through emotionally calibrated, perception-aware marketing that actually reaches human beings.
