What’s up, everybody? Johnny Renaissance here, burning the midnight oil on the road in Wisconsin and in search of wisdom. Quick pit stop to drop some unfiltered truth: NEVER hand over control of your marketing. Ever.
Keep in mind—this isn’t a political post; it’s a sales and marketing masterclass ripped straight from the political playbook and in 2 minutes or less. Got it?
You probably know the story: A major political party known as the democrats tried leveraging social media influencers to spread their message. Sounds genius, right? Well, it could have been, but…
Influencers have one job, and they do it better than most. They engage audiences authentically. They build trust. They’re A-players who know how to show up and deliver. But instead of letting them shine in their lane, the party tried to cram them into their box—messaging controlled, voices muted, authenticity trashed.
Spoiler: it flopped.
This isn’t just a political misstep; it’s marketing malpractice that too many businesses repeat. When you find A-players—whether they’re your sales reps, content creators, or even your community champions—don’t micromanage them. Communicate your vision, give them the tools, then GET OUT OF THE WAY.
Your brand is YOU. You can’t outsource your authenticity or surrender control of your message. You stay at the center. You stay in control.
Collaborate, don’t abdicate. And most importantly, let authenticity and a clear vision keep you on course and a be a beacon for your tribe.
Now, let’s go crush it like it’s 1984.
Who’s with me?
