The Myth of the Perfect Campaign

Why chasing perfection kills creativity and slows results.

Have you ever watched a pot of water boil? You sit there, staring, waiting for those bubbles to rise. The more you watch, the slower it seems to happen. Frustrating, right? That’s what chasing the “perfect campaign” feels like—it’s an endless wait for something that doesn’t exist.

Let me share a quick story. A friend of mine once spent months planning an elaborate proposal for his girlfriend. Everything had to be flawless—sunset at the perfect beach, a professional photographer hiding in the bushes, and even the tide schedule to match her zodiac sign (seriously!). But guess what? She said yes before he even finished his grand speech because what mattered was the moment, not the execution.

Marketing is just like that. The audience doesn’t care if every pixel is aligned or if the lighting in your ad video is worthy of an Oscar. They care about how it makes them feel, what it solves for them, and if they can trust you. So, why are you still obsessing over getting it perfect?

Why Perfection Is a Trap

Here’s the thing: perfection kills speed and creativity. The world moves fast—your audience moves faster. While you’re stuck tweaking the 67th version of your logo placement, your competitor has already launched, learned, and adjusted.

Reality Check:
No one remembers perfect campaigns. They remember bold ones, authentic ones, and the ones that actually show up.

The Lesson from Nigerian Jollof

Let me add a little spice to this. If you’ve ever been to a party in Nigeria, you know jollof rice is a staple. But here’s the thing: no two plates of jollof taste the same, yet people still come back for more. It’s not about perfection—it’s about getting it on the plate, serving it hot, and letting people enjoy.

Your campaign is your jollof rice. Serve it up. The seasoning can always be tweaked, but if you never bring it to the table, you’ll never know how it tastes.

Now So What?

Stop waiting for perfect. Perfect campaigns are like unicorns—fun to imagine but impossible to catch. Instead, focus on being authentic, timely, and ready to learn. Because at the end of the day, your audience doesn’t need perfection; they need you.
