Advertising Is a Guess — Here’s How to Make Better Ones - Skip Wilson

Welcome to Inside Marketing With MarketSurge — your front row seat to the boldest ideas and smartest strategies in the marketing game. In this episode, host Reed Hansen sits down with Skip Wilson, CEO of Draft Media Partners, to break down what actually works in advertising when budgets, expectations, and reality collide. Skip shares his unconventional start in advertising at age 16, how a job meant to impress a girl turned into a lifelong career, and what he learned working at scale with brands like CNN, Clear Channel, and iHeartMedia. This conversation cuts through bad ads, bad assumptions, and bad marketing advice to get real about data, paid media, branding, AI, and why advertising is always a draft, never a final. What you’ll learn in this episode: • Why small businesses should think differently about branding versus direct response • The real differences between six-figure and seven-figure ad budgets • How to diagnose a “broken” ad campaign using data the right way • Why AI is making organic marketing harder and paid advertising more important • What needs to be in place before you should spend a dollar on ads • The draft mentality and why great advertising is always a work in progress • A hard truth about advertising most business owners don’t want to hear Guest information: Skip Wilson CEO, Draft Media Partners Website: [https://www.draftadvertising.com](https://www.draftadvertising.com) LinkedIn: [  / skipwilson  ](  / skipwilson  ) About the show: Inside Marketing With MarketSurge is hosted by Reed Hansen, Chief Growth Officer at MarketSurge.
