Should you create your own markets or use curated 'Walled Garden' audiences? This week on the If You Market podcast we talk with Dave Fink about the amazing power of owning your audience vs the advantages of being part of curated Walled Garden channels. Dave and host Sky Cassidy talk about the amazing power of open marketplace marketing where you own your audience, like physical mail, email and phones, and the convenience and speed to market provided by platforms like Facebook (Meta), google ads, and LinkedIn.  Dave Fink thinks the best kept secret in marketing is hiding where you least expect it — your mailbox. Over a 20-year career he’s generated hundreds of millions of dollars in ad revenue, powered viral sensations like Dollar Shave Club, and helped launch celebrity startups for Jessica Simpson, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, and Kate Bosworth. Now as founder and CEO of Postie, he’s out to reinvent direct mail marketing for a digital world. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
