Perhaps, but not usually. Focus on one or two things that hit the message of who you are after is most usually the most successful. Watering that down loses everyone.

I remember a great lesson for me when I used to keep a radio going in the workplace. I had noticed an ad for the joke they had in it, but it took more than a few times before I realized that it was promoting something that I was actively searching for. Which is a whole different point on a major "everyone knows" in the business, that you have to keep repeating the message before anyone listens, before you get a result...that running with an a message once or twice is a waste of time.

The playout of this is that people who say they don't do marketing well are often people who think they have tried but who don't try often enough and get discourage when really they just need to find the things that allow a penetration of the message and keep working it.

Never underestimate their intelligence, always underestimate their knowledge.
