Marketing fog is what I call it when effort is up, teams are moving, complexity keeps getting added — and results have stopped compounding. It's not a tactics problem. The founders I work with are smart and they've tried the tactics. It's a decisions problem. Four upstream decisions that were never fully locked — who the business is actually for, what problem it specifically solves, what makes it the only credible choice, and what the marketing is supposed to do. Everything downstream of those four decisions either compounds or fragments depending on whether they were made clearly. Most teams avoid them because they're uncomfortable. I force them. I'm the Founder and Principal at Rogue Sailor Marketing. I work with B2B service founders who've built real revenue — usually through relationships and referrals — and now need their marketing to work without them standing behind every piece of it. We don't start with execution. We start by forcing the decisions that make execution matter. Good work doesn't add activity. It removes ambiguity. If your effort has increased but your clarity and confidence haven't — we should talk.
