A viewer of The #AskGaryVeeShow asks whether or not how you "distinguish between bad marketing strategy that's not working and just having a crappy product?"

You may hire great minds and try various marketing strategies known in your field, but, if you have a product or service that's subprime - or even if your business isn't being run properly - the best marketing strategies known to mankind won't help solve your problems - be it help selling the product or improving your brand.

To have a great brand or to increase sales/revenue for your product/service, you need to genuinely have a valuable service or product that people want. To be a good brand, your company should be a responsible corporate citizen of your respective communities.

However, if you have a good product or service, great marketing can help your product or service reach beyond its potential.
