Description

Frustrated by your marketing? You’re not alone. These days, marketing feels like a moving target. One day, it’s a new AI model. The next, it’s a new platform, tool, or trend you’re somehow already behind on. (And don’t even get me started on social media.) But here’s the thing: Frustration isn’t failure. It’s fuel. It means you’re curious. You’re paying attention. You want better for your work, your team, and yourself. While your coworkers coast, you’re asking the hard questions. You’re thinking deeper. And that’s what moves you forward. This podcast is here for that kind of marketer: The thoughtful kind. The frustrated kind. The kind who isn’t going to settle or chase trends. Hosted by agency founder and twenty-plus-year marketing veteran Jim DeMicco, ‘Frustrated By Your Marketing?’ delivers short-form think pieces on the wild, confusing, and often brilliant world of marketing and AI. Each week, Jim breaks down a headline, trend, or real-world case study, and explores what it really means for marketers. No hacks. No fluff. No hour-long rambles. Just smart, story-driven episodes with clear takeaways and a little bit of humor - because if you don’t laugh, you’ll cry (and then refresh your LinkedIn profile).
