Marketing and Marketing Tech Quote-of-the-Week

Innovation moves faster than people. This has a variety of effects. For an obvious example, within teams we may all want to use the latest technology or channel, but it turns out that the audience isn’t there. We can forget that sometimes the simplest, most obvious things can continue to be effective as we delight in imagining something new. Put another way, email continues to work, but it must have craft and purpose associated with it and not relegated to the bottom of the pile because it is boring. For our audiences, education – whether at a business or technical level – is crucial, and so workshops, and peer learning work for us.

A notable innovation is Asset Management Platforms, which maintain brand and product consistency across various channels.

Effective asset management is crucial for brands with multiple sub-brands and SKUs, preventing loss of control and consistency.
