Traditional Advertising is Dead.

Ok, that's a very bold statement. But, hear me out.

Remember those ads interrupting your favorite TV show?
(or do you mute them like I do?)

Or those billboards you passed by without a second glance?

That's traditional advertising — constantly throwing the "right hook" without building a connection.

Now, let’s talk about Gary V's approach:
👉 "Jab, Jab, Right Hook" = Give, Give, THEN Ask.

It’s about providing value first, engaging with your audience, building trust, and THEN making your offer.

Why does it work?

🔑 People don’t want to be sold to. They want to be helped, educated, or entertained.

🔑 It builds loyalty instead of resistance.

Here's the difference:

🛑 Traditional advertising shouts: "Buy from me! or "Buy my product!"

✅ Gary V's strategy whispers: "I’ve got your back" and "I'm here to help"

The lesson?

Focus on jabs: content that serves, educates, and gives value.

Then, hit them with a right hook (call-to-action) when they’re ready.

Which strategy are you using? 🤔
