The hook’s there. The headline writes itself. The CTA’s clear. You can see the whole flow.
But then the wait starts.
Design’s tied up. Eng has other priorities. Approvals take longer than the window of relevance.
And just like that, momentum’s gone because it didn’t move fast enough to matter.
A different angle: building just enough to show, not explain.
Not a full build. Not even a real backend. Just something that looks and feels like a live campaign. A quick microsite with real copy. A dashboard mock with a working CTA. A fake flow that still gets real feedback.
Speed isn’t the goal. Clarity is. The faster you learn, the easier it is to know what’s worth doing.
Marketing doesn’t need to wait for perfect builds. It needs just enough of the idea to test in real time, with real signal.
What could you put in front of people without needing anyone else to greenlight it?
