The June 2026 Marketing Playbook | Bathroom Break #108

About this episode

Jay and Daniel discuss the marketing challenges and opportunities in June 2026, including the FIFA World Cup and Prime Day.

Is your June Marketing strategy ready for one of the wildest months in recent memory? Jay and Daniel break down three major forces hitting the calendar at the same time. Jay explains why the second half of June through the second week of July is one of the worst performing stretches of the year for webinar attendance, B2B content downloads, and high-ticket consumer products, and why you need to plan around it now. Daniel makes the case for leaning into the FIFA World Cup with soccer-themed email copy and subject lines, whether you're a local brand or a global one. And Jay breaks down why Prime Day lifts all Marketing, not just Amazon sellers, including why people spend about 15% more time in their inboxes during that window. If you’re looking for a plan for June, this is the episode for you.
