In this quirky yet insightful episode, Sudeep and Sharan explore an unusual analogy - how marketers are similar to ducks. Sudeep breaks down five distinct ways a marketer’s job mirrors the life of a duck: calm on the surface but furiously paddling underneath, staying unaffected by their environment, taking short strategic flights, diving in when needed, and balancing short-term and long-term focus — just like ducks practicing unihemispheric sleep.
Through humorous anecdotes and deep marketing wisdom, they decode how these duck-like behaviors are essential for building remarkable brands. Whether you’re a seasoned marketer or just starting out, this episode provides a fresh lens to reflect on your marketing journey.
