The Garage as a Creative Space

For some, the garage is just where cars are parked. For me, it’s a sanctuary of problem-solving. Under the hood of a car, surrounded by tools and grease, I’ve learned lessons that translate directly to the way I approach marketing campaigns.

Problem-Solving Under Pressure

When a part won’t budge, or the wiring diagram doesn’t make sense, you don’t quit — you troubleshoot. Marketing projects often feel the same. Ads underperform, websites glitch, strategies misalign. The garage teaches patience: there’s always another angle, another tool, another way.

Creativity Through Constraint

In the garage, I don’t always have the perfect tool — so I improvise. That constraint often leads to innovation. Likewise, businesses rarely have infinite budgets. But within limits, creativity thrives. At Moon & Marrow, we help brands innovate within their means, finding unique solutions that fit their “garage.”

Systems Matter

Car projects succeed when you keep parts organized, bolts sorted, steps sequenced. Marketing works the same way: data tracking, asset libraries, campaign schedules. Chaos leads to mistakes; systems lead to flow.

Key Lessons from the Garage

• Start with Diagnostics: Find the root cause before making changes.

• Embrace Iteration: Rarely is a problem fixed on the first try.

• Value Craftsmanship: Attention to detail creates longevity, whether in cars or campaigns.

If your marketing feels like a car that won’t start, we can help diagnose the issue and get it running again.
