ADVICE

Put People Before Profit In Marketing

Focus on people first, not profit, when you build marketing or products.
James Nwobu says prioritizing people creates genuine connections and long-term profit, while profit-first shortcuts (like lazy AI content) often backfire.

INSIGHT

Authenticity Trumps High Production

Audiences respond more to low-production, authentic content that looks like them than polished ads.
James points to TikTok trends where real, unpolished moments (e.g., eating, casual talk) drive trust and conversions.
