Why Your Content Isn’t Working (And How to Fix It)

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2514963/open_sms] Most brands are telling the right story—but at the wrong time. In this episode, Adam breaks down the Customer Awareness Matrix, a simple framework for aligning your content with the five key stages of buyer awareness: unaware, problem aware, solution aware, product aware, and most aware. He explains the exact type of story you need to tell at each stage—origin, problem, solution, product, and offer—and why skipping steps is killing your conversions. You’ll learn how to craft messaging that actually maps to where your customer is mentally in the funnel, not just demographically. Whether you’re running UGC, paid social, TV, or email, this episode helps you stop guessing and start scaling creative that works. Plus: the #1 book every marketer should read if they want to master messaging (hint: it’s not cheap, but it’s worth every penny). 🎯 If you spend $10k/month or more on ads, grab the free Creative Audit Cheat Sheet (link in bio) and see how your brand stacks up.

Diagnose Before You Deploy: The Strategy Most Marketers Skip

Send us a text [https://www.buzzsprout.com/twilio/text_messages/2514963/open_sms] Welcome back to the Grab Your Assets Podcast. In this episode, Adam breaks down what most CPG brands—and agency bros—get completely wrong about strategy: they skip straight to tactics. This isn’t another “just post more UGC” episode. We’re talking real strategy rooted in Ritson’s four-step framework: Diagnosis, Strategy, Tactics, and Measurement. You’ll learn why running ads without a proper diagnosis is like prescribing meds without a patient. And why most performance plateaus are just symptoms of a deeper positioning problem. You’ll also get Adam’s take on: * LTV:CAC and what that ratio should look like (hint: it’s not 1:1) * How segmentation, targeting, and positioning (STP) should drive your content, not the other way around * Why most marketers copy the category leader instead of carving their own lane * The content strategy mix you actually need (hint: 60% brand, 40% performance) 🎯 If you’re running ads without a brand strategy—or have a brand without a clear category position—this episode will slap you back into focus. 🎁 Download the Free Creative Audit Cheat Sheet to find the whitespace, fix your messaging, and start scaling smarter: 👉 Creative Audit Cheat Sheet [https://www.canva.com/design/DAGrlyKiULw/8ycVfxh-XPuM3YJQGBHMcQ/view?utm_content=DAGrlyKiULw&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=uniquelinks&utlId=hbe60cc46e5] 📁 Check out Adam’s portfolio + client reel: 👉 Portfolio + Video Reel [https://www.canva.com/design/DAGoBPDsfs0/WfVGe03BgLr6gRY2rUCEUQ/view?utm_content=DAGoBPDsfs0&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link&utm_source=recording_view] Thanks for listening to the Grab Your Assets podcast—where marketing strategy, content engines, and dad-preneur chaos all collide.
