Marketing is a waste of money.

If you’re paying an agency for X number of posts and stories without understanding what those posts are supposed to achieve, yes, it’s a waste of money.

If you’re spending money on ads and expecting them to magically turn $1 into $100, yes, it’s a waste of money.

If your marketing strategy is basically:

Let’s post more.
Let’s boost this.
Let’s see what happens.

Save your money.

Marketing isn’t magic.

Results don’t appear because you posted 20 times or put money behind an ad.

There needs to be a strategy.

You need to understand:

Who you’re trying to reach.
What you want them to do.
Why they should choose you.
What message will get their attention.
Where they need to see you.
And what happens after they see you.

Social media is one part of the machine.

Ads are one part.

Your website, offer, sales process, content, email, partnerships, search, retargeting and customer experience can all play a role too.

You can’t take one piece of the machine, turn it on, and expect the whole thing to produce profit.

So yes, marketing can absolutely be a cost.

Especially when you’re paying for activity instead of strategy.

The problem isn’t that marketing doesn’t work.

The problem is expecting marketing to do the work that strategy, sales, your offer and the rest of the business aren’t doing.

Marketing can’t fix everything.
And it shouldn’t have to.

What your business offers is great.
But does your social media show that?

Most people judge your business before they ever talk to you. They look at your Instagram, TikTok, or Facebook first.

If your posts look messy or unclear, people don’t trust you. Even if your work is great.

We made a free tool to help you check this.
It’s called the Social Media Revenue Leak Audit, the exact same checklist we use when we review a client’s social media. We’re giving it away for free.

✅ 10 simple questions�✅ Takes 5 minutes�✅ Gives you a score out of 100

You’ll see exactly what’s working and what’s not. Then you build your own simple action plan, what to fix first, and when.

Want it? Comment “AUDIT” and we’ll send you the link to download your copy. Or find the link in our bio.

A new trend is sweeping across the GCC right now.

It started with a photo of a child taking a selfie and posting it on their parent’s business Instagram account.

It looked like a genuine accidental post, and comments quickly flooded in.

Fast forward to this week, and major brands like BMW, IKEA, Xiaomi, and Noon across KSA, UAE, Qatar, Bahrain, Oman, and Kuwait are all posting similar AI-generated kids’ selfies in front of or inside their stores or with their products.

Swipe through to see a few examples from this week.

What do you think? Is this clever marketing, or are brands taking trends too far?
