Marketing Mistake #27: Acting Like an Advertiser

[Sure, traditional interruption marketing still has its place. But rarely do Challenger Brands have the resources available to conduct the type of sustained print, broadcast or out-of-home advertising campaigns that are necessary to achieve the brand recognition and ROI that would justify such an expenditure.
