Why are so many once-hyped brands starting to fail—and what separates the ones that keep growing? In this episode of The Unstoppable Marketer®, Mark Goldhart and Trevor Crump break down the shocking collapse of Allbirds—from a $4B valuation to a $39M sale—and what it reveals about today’s marketing landscape. They dive into rising customer acquisition costs, the death of easy distribution, and why fear-driven decision-making is quietly killing brand growth. You’ll learn why playing it safe is the fastest way to plateau, how to actually stand out in a crowded market, and what smart brands are doing differently right now to keep scaling.
