Templates suck.  Daniel and Jay dive into how templates (like the ones you find on Canva and Illustrator) may actually be hurting your content, not helping it. Relying on cookie-cutter templates, whether for email, social media, or design, can make your brand invisible. When everyone’s using the same templates, how can you stand out? Daniel argues that people subconsciously scroll past templates on social feeds because they look like everything else. Jay even says breaking patterns and not doing what everyone else is doing is the real key to standing out in social or email. Plus, is it a greater conversation about formulaic thinking? This short ‘n sweet Bathroom Break is all about getting creative and thinking outside of the box. 🚽 Follow Jay: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/schwedelson/ Podcast: Do This, Not That Follow Daniel: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@themarketingmillennials/featured Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/Dmurr68 LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-murray-marketing Sign up for The Marketing Millennials newsletter: www.workweek.com/brand/the-marketing-millennials Daniel is a Workweek friend, working to produce amazing podcasts.
