After a long pause, Reggae Friday is spinning again— with a wider view.

What began as a celebration of reggae has evolved into Walls & Wax: a home for reggae albums worth the full spin and urban art worth another look.

We’re beginning on the Wax side with Ky-Mani Marley’s Love & Energy album that debuted a month ago.

Ten years after his last full-length album, Ky-Mani returns with a warm, soulful blend of reggae, R&B and roots music built for poolside afternoons, open roads and— most importantly— the full spin.

Because at Wax, we believe:

Singles get attention. Albums reveal the artist.

Reggae Friday was the spark. Walls & Wax is the next chapter.

Ten years after his last full-length project, Ky-Mani Marley returns with a warm, soulful and remarkably cohesive album that rewards more than a casual listen.

HAS THIS HAPPENED TO YOU? The ad agency was invited to solve an underperforming campaign.

The ad agency developed a completely new strategy and plan (target, positioning, creative & media) in a vacuum without any client input— then realized that presenting it might mean giving away its most valuable work.

Does this fall into, or is separate from, the "work-for-hire" clause?

Where should ad agencies draw the line between being proactive and working for free? We share an elegant solution.

MARKETER CHALLENGE: 3 of these brands are growing. 1 is losing customers. Can you guess which one?

Think you know the answer?

Check your guess here 👉 : https://t.ly/sqJFk

Many of you will get this wrong. Why?

Because we tend to confuse headlines with reality.
We assume the brands getting attention are winning.
We assume the brands we see everywhere are growing.

But household pe*******on data often tells a very different story.
In our latest analysis, we examined categories ranging from spirits and automotive to grocery and restaurants.

Some of the biggest surprises weren't the brands growing.

They were the brands quietly losing customers while everyone was looking somewhere else.

The brands featured here didn't decline because they stopped marketing. They declined because consumers changed faster than they did. At Left Off Madison, helping brands stay ahead of those shifts is what we do every day. we've been doing it a long time.

If you're looking for growth, not just activity, we should talk.

One of the most expensive mistakes in marketing isn't launching the wrong plan. It's abandoning the right one too soon.

The audience was approved.
The strategy was approved.
The creative was approved.
The media plan was approved.

Then 45 days later someone wants to change everything.

Sound familiar?

"We need better results." Every agency has heard it. The problem is that "better" isn't a KPI.

Better revenue?
Better ROAS?
Better market share?
Better customer acquisition?

You can't optimize a campaign if nobody agrees on what success actually looks like.

Retail media isn't a strategy. Neither is AI. Neither are influencers, social media, search, or programmatic.

They're tactics.

Yet many marketing organizations spend more time debating channels than discussing what they're actually trying to accomplish.

The result?

More activity.
More dashboards.
More meetings.

Not necessarily more growth.
