Conjured by
The light flickers.
The mic hums.
You’re on the air.
Confessions can be costly.
But in this broadcast, they might be rewarded.
Data Dread lives for your disasters. Every failure keeps him on air, every story of collapse gives him another breath. Nothing excites him more than hearing how it all went wrong. Your downfall is his favorite song.
Some stories don’t fade. They stain. They rot. They claw their way back. The caller before you talked about the pipeline that vanished. Another spoke of dead leads. Now, the static clears. It is your line. Confess, caller. Tell us about the data that traumatized you.
The station is empty. Static crackles in your ears. In the dark, a voice whispers, Tell us the story. The one you swore you’d never repeat.
It always begins the same way. An account list. A promising signal. And then the collapse.
Confess, and your life may be spared. You may also be rewarded with a ticket to NYC Advertising Week from October 6-9, 2025.
Watch the horror unfold in real time.
These are not mistakes. These are the horrors that feed on broken data:
“The forecast bled out overnight, its carcass still on the dashboard. The campaign was so cursed it poisoned every deal it touched.”
Leaky-Lead Linda
“They asked why the campaign failed. Attribution said the new channel was working, but none of the leads were real. They stalk me still, whispering lies long after the quarter’s close.”
Failed-Ad Frank
“The sales and marketing teams turned feral, tearing at each other in the dark. I found the rot: Outdated CRM records that hemorrhaged into every spreadsheet. These are the parasites that infect once-promising organizations.”
