Marketing Minute: Stuck Between Playing It Safe and Trying Something New?

In this Marketing Minute, Delaney Walker of Extend Web Services, along with Cyndie Schmidt and Jack Pickering, discuss why change in marketing can feel risky—and how thoughtful experimentation can actually lead to greater clarity and impact.

Sharing stories from personal experiences and real marketing shifts made in 2025, they explore decision fatigue, fear of failure, and practical ways to evaluate what’s working, what’s not, and where small pivots can make a meaningful difference. Leaders will be encouraged to align marketing efforts with clear goals and approach change with confidence as they plan for the year ahead.
