Puzzle Thinking and Problem Solving in Marketing


👉 A farmer has 17 sheep. All but 9 run away. How many are left?
(Think carefully before answering!)





The correct answer is 9. Why? Because “all but 9 ran away” means 9 stayed behind.

What does this have to do with digital marketing? Simple—marketing problems often look more complicated than they are. Sometimes we overthink, but the solution lies in reading carefully, understanding context, and simplifying.

For example, when running ads, a marketer might panic about poor results. But when you simplify, the issue could just be:

  • The wrong target audience chosen.

  • The call-to-action isn’t clear.

  • The budget isn’t aligned with the goal.

💡 Lesson: Marketing, like puzzles, requires a sharp mind that looks beyond the surface. Don’t complicate things—simplify and find the hidden truth.

👉 Task for today: Take one marketing problem (maybe your social media reach or ad performance) and break it down step by step until you find the simple solution.

In marketing, curiosity is your biggest weapon—it keeps you ahead of competitors. 👉 Challenge for today: Ask yourself one “why” abo...
