The record company came up with the rather hyperbolic marketing phrase, “The only band that matters.” It stuck because there was a strain of truth to it. The Clash cut through the drivel and mindlessness of New Wave and came across as genuine, as opposed to manufactured pop or pretentious art rock. The band walked their working-class talk, going into debt to keep concert tickets and album prices low. They didn’t break even until 1982—a fact they “wore as a badge of pride.”
Slide 2 and 3 Say something important
The Clash, especially Joe Strummer, wanted to start a conversation.
Other punk bands, such as the Sex Pistols, stood for complete anarchy and not much else. The Clash was a disrupter, no question, but they wanted to lead a movement rather than just throw a brick at someone’s head. The results speak for themselves: The Sex Pistols imploded after one album, while the Clash delivered decades of great music.
Slide 2 and 3 Say something important
Take a stand.
The Clash’s motto was simple: If you don’t like the world, they urged, then change it. This is what cemented their legacy as “The only band that mattered.” Beyond punk attitude and politics, they told a story that was as compelling as it was hardcore. You knew where they stood. You knew what they could not abide. You understood your own responsibility in that narrative. And you loved them for kicking you in the butt like that.
Edit Needed – Can you add a bunch of Clash flyers, album covers, books etc in a collage that would build like an empire of media? -> DONE
The Lesson:
When you lead conversations that matter, you give customers a reason to follow you. If that seems beyond your purview, maybe it’s because you see your business as a transaction, rather than as a brand that adds value to people’s lives. There’s nothing wrong with that, but it does mean you’ll forever compete on price rather than on who you are and why you exist.

Using Direct Sponsored Content, we A/B tested ‘eBook’ versus ‘guide’ to see which resonated better with our audience. ‘Guide’ saw a 100% increase in click through rate (CTR).
Knowing that quotes and stats both work well, we tested an image featuring a statistic versus an image featuring a quote. The image with the quote saw a 30% lift in CTR versus the stat image.
With a hypothesis that people like images of people rather than objects, we tested an image versus a human and the human saw +160% CTR and +290% CVR.
