How Failure Braids Into Success

This image nails a truth every marketer learns the hard way: success is a tangled mess of failed attempts. Each “failure” line weaves into the colorful rope labeled success.

Why It Works

• It visualizes progress instead of perfection.

• Failure isn’t separate—it’s part of the final product.

• It reframes mistakes as data, not disasters.

• It’s instantly understandable, no words needed.

Real-World Proof

• Dyson made 5,127 prototypes before their first vacuum worked.

• Airbnb’s founders were rejected by 7 investors before finding traction.

• Coca-Cola failed in New Coke’s launch but learned brand loyalty lessons.
