Marketing Mondays · by SOMIN

Start the week with one real signal.

Every Monday we decode one thing that's actually moving in marketing (a competitor's play, a shift in what audiences want, a campaign that's winning) and the move to make next. Watch the show, then argue about it in the room with Singapore's marketers.

Agency pitch for Nightcap Group · United Kingdom

Challenge. The agency had only days to prepare a competitive pitch and needed a sharper view of the client's commercial reality and landscape without weeks of strategy work.

Outcome. The pitch conversation moved to measurable business impact and the agency won a multi-million-pound retainer.

12x faster campaign planning78% CTR prediction accuracyMulti-million-pound retainer

Marketing Mondays take: Episode-worthy: the pitch stopped being about creative taste and became a conversation about evidence. That shift is the whole Marketing Mondays thesis.

Agency
Havas Media
Media & advertising · Middle East

Challenge. Collating competitor activity by hand across platforms for several client brands ate time needed for strategy, and each new client meant rebuilding competitive context.

Outcome. The tool became part of daily work, replaced manual filtering and let teams start new clients from day one with current evidence.

13x faster than manual researchNew client onboarding: Day OneCountless hrs saved

Marketing Mondays take: We discuss this one in the room a lot: when research takes minutes, the team's real job becomes judgement, not filtering.

Agency
KPI Media
Performance marketing · Singapore

Challenge. Each pitch needed a week-long sprint and three people building competitor benchmarks by hand, which capped how many pitches the agency could chase.

Outcome. Pitch prep dropped sharply in time and cost and the agency closed new retainer revenue.

Pitch prep: 1 week to 2 daysPrep cost $4,000 to $1,000 (75% reduction)+$5,000/month retainer closed

Marketing Mondays take: A small agency, a faster pitch and a new retainer. Proof the 2027 marketing team can be smaller and still win.

The Autopsy of a Lost Sale

A 2026 episode pulling apart why a deal that looked won walked away. Watch on the channel.

The problem

Marketers are drowning in data and quietly short on confidence

The tools have never been more powerful, and many marketers have never felt less sure of themselves. Perfectionism, the sense of being undervalued and a quiet fear that AI will replace you all surface again and again when marketers talk about their work. Opinions are loud; evidence is scarce.

What is missing is not more information. It is one trusted signal at a time, and peers who can help you decide what it means. Confidence comes from collaboration and evidence, not from faking it till you make it.

Technology partner

Technology partner: SOMIN

SOMIN  AI audience research & creative intelligence

Marketing Mondays was founded and is hosted by SOMIN, an AI audience-research platform, which remains the founding partner of the community. Every episode starts in SOMIN, where real posts, ads and comments are organised into tensions, tones, moments and competitor plays. Hosts then cut that long list down to the one signal worth your Monday.

Because SOMIN's conclusions trace back to the posts that evidence them, every signal on the show can be checked rather than taken on trust. That is the standard we hold the community to: know it before you show it.

  • Founders doing their own marketing
  • Agency strategists and planners
  • Marketing leaders redesigning teams around AI
  • Early-career marketers looking for peers and mentors
About

Why Mondays

Monday is when plans get made. We wanted marketers to start the week with one thing they could trust and use, not a feed of hot takes. So SOMIN started a short weekly show: one real signal, decoded and made actionable, every Monday.

The show turned into a community because the questions people asked after each episode were too personal for a comment box. Will AI replace me? Am I measuring the right thing? Why did we lose that sale? Those get answered best in a room of peers, so we started meeting at Block71 Singapore.

The idea has not changed. Confidence through collaboration and evidence. Know it before you show it.
