Eric and Neil break down how Clavicular built a viral marketing machine, why clipping is starting to look a lot like paid media, and what businesses can learn from that playbook. Reports on Clavicular’s growth describe a large clipping operation that helped make his content unavoidable across platforms, which is the bigger distribution shift they unpack in this episode. They also share 10 marketing and AI tools they would still pay for even if they cost $1,000 a month, including tools for landing pages, AI call handling, ad creative, multilingual video, personalization, SEO workflows, and agent-based execution.
