  • The Marketing Tactics Everyone Uses (But Won’t Admit) | Bathroom Break #100

    The Marketing Tactics Everyone Uses (But Won’t Admit) | Bathroom Break #100
    Mar 23 2026
    For the 100th episode of Bathroom Break, Jay and Daniel are doing something a little different: calling out the marketing habits everyone uses but rarely admits. Through a rapid-fire “never have I ever,” they unpack real-world tactics marketers quietly rely on, like fake urgency in promotions, deleting underperforming posts, and experimenting with questionable email tricks. It’s an honest (and slightly chaotic) look at the gap between “best practices” and what actually happens behind the scenes. They also get personal with career horror stories, including Jay’s all-time embarrassing conference moment and Daniel’s on-stage panic that proves even seasoned marketers still get nervous. If you’ve ever stretched the truth in a subject line, deleted a post that flopped, or avoided a conversation at a conference, this episode will feel very familiar.

    Going from Social to the Super Bowl, with Lucas Coyle, Director of Brand Media & Awareness at MANSCAPED (CTV Mini-Series Episode #3)
    Mar 17 2026
    TV isn’t just a brand channel anymore. And if you still think it is, you’re already behind. Daniel sits down with Lucas Coyle, Director of Brand Media & Awareness at MANSCAPED, alongside Mauricio Lizarazu from Tatari, to break down how MANSCAPED turned TV from a test channel into a real growth engine and what it took to go from social-first Marketing to a Super Bowl moment. From treating TV with the same rigor as digital to learning that female-skewing channels could drive surprising results for a men’s grooming brand, Lucas shares how MANSCAPED built a smarter, more modern TV strategy. They also dive into halo effects across Amazon and other channels, how direct publisher relationships unlock better buys, and why the brands winning on TV are the ones measuring it like a performance channel. If you’re a Marketer trying to understand how TV can drive both brand and revenue without wasting budget, this is the episode for YOU. Tatari helps brands run TV like a modern performance channel. Unlike most platforms that focus only on programmatic CTV, Tatari gives marketers access to all of TV - linear, streaming, programmatic CTV, and direct publisher inventory - in one platform. By combining premium inventory with transparent reporting and outcome-based measurement, Tatari lets growth teams evaluate TV the same way they evaluate paid search or paid social. The result: more control, better reach, and TV spend that can actually be tied back to business results.

    The Simplest Way to Create More Content | Bathroom Break #98
    Mar 9 2026
    Marketers spend too much time chasing new ideas when the smartest move might be repeating the ones that already worked. Jay and Daniel break down one of the biggest time-saving strategies in modern Content Marketing: reposting and repurposing your best content. They explain why audiences don’t remember most posts, why a 90-day repost window works incredibly well, and how brands can get better results by recycling top performers instead of constantly creating new content. Daniel shares how he tracks high-performing posts and reuses winning hooks across memes, videos, text posts, and more. Jay explains why Marketers overestimate how much their audience remembers and why repeating your core ideas is actually the fastest way to grow. If you feel like you’re running out of content ideas, this episode is your reminder that you probably already have everything you need.
