Best practices are holding you back

Marketing best practices are holding you back.

There’s no better example of this than the infamous “Dumb Ways To Die” campaign:

  • Their goal: Promote safety
  • Best practice: Show ways to be safe
  • Opposite: Promote ways to die

Results:

  • Over 1M YouTube subs
  • Top10 iTunes song
  • Popular iOS game
  • Millions reached who would NEVER watch a railway safety video

Don’t be limited by best practices.

Instead, practice not being limited.
