The Duct Tape Marketing Podcast with Jesse Wroblewski
In this episode, I interviewed Jesse Wroblewski, the founder and CEO of a New York-based marketing agency and the author of “Marketing for Supervillains: Diabolical Tips on Differentiation, Decommoditization, and World Domination.” He has close to 30 years of experience in the marketing industry and has been featured in prominent media outlets like Rolling Stone and Fangoria. Known for his offbeat yet practical approach, he shares proven differentiation strategies that help businesses stand out in any market.
Key Takeaways
Jesse Wroblewski highlights the importance of adopting a supervillain mindset to differentiate your brand. He explains that smaller businesses should use creativity and wit to compete with more prominent, established brands rather than trying to outspend them.
