Brand Awareness

Everybody’s dealing with the effects of the COVID-19 outbreak. This public health pandemic is having a critical impact on supply and demand. It’s times like these that marketers need to be even more aware and sensitive to the expectations of their customers and prospects. Shopping for major-life purchases (MLPs)—such as a car, loan, insurance, or degree—involves a lot of research, investigation, and comparison. These are big-ticket items that can often get delayed—or even escalated—during uncertain times. Consumers, who…

Of all business videos in 2018, 73% were less than two minutes long, reflecting a 33% drop in length compared to 2017. Countless Digital Marketing studies urged marketers and advertisers to hold their videos to a two-minute maximum because attention spans are shrinking. Studies even showed that two minutes was the magic number—the length of time most likely to evoke the highest engagement. But the pendulum is swinging, and, frankly, those studies were overhyped. The content should dictate the length, not some arbitrary…

Sales and Marketing - two departments always in conflict about demarcating their specific roles and responsibilities. Being an Inbound Marketer and a Specialist in Content Marketing, I can very well understand the root cause of this problem. Many companies do not differentiate between these two functions. Over and above that, many companies have a single team to perform both. Too much of bashing, isn’t it? Let us focus on the topic i.e. how is Inbound Sales different from Inbound Marketing and how these two functions can…

Just two and a half years after its launch, Brandless stopped taking orders and laid off over 70 staff. Once on track to disrupt the high-quality organic produce market that the likes of Whole Foods dominates, the company blames the crowded e-commerce market for its downfall. The disrupter became disrupted. Brandless is not the only Direct to Consumer (D2C) brand experiencing the negative effects of oversaturated markets. In the past, D2C brands relied heavily on Performance Marketing, with 98% of such brands believing that…

As our lives become busier and online shopping continues to disrupt the traditional retail sector, you only have to look at the decline of our high streets to know that there is a revolution going on in the way that we shop. In the last year, household names such as Boots, Debenhams and House of Fraser have all been affected by store closures and job losses. But there could be light at the end of the tunnel for big brands trying to reconnect with their customers on the ground, according to retail expert Robert Lockyer, CEO…

Gamers don’t like it when advertising gets in the way of play, as illustrated by the furore around the unskippable ads recently introduced to NBA 2K19’s loading screen. Many game developers aren’t keen on disruptive Digital Advertising either. They work hard to create incredible gaming experiences and understandably don’t want them spoilt by intrusive, ugly, and unnatural ads.

B2B marketers have never been accused of being flashy or adventurous. Most of the time, they focus on driving measurable results in the most efficient way possible. That usually entails Content Marketing, Account-Based Marketing (ABM) or even direct Mail. Out-of-home (OOH) advertising, on the other hand, has traditionally been thought of as a consumer Marketing tactic. But that is changing, especially for technology companies. Businesses like Zoom, ZoHo, Zendesk, Cisco and Salesforce—to name just a few—have all invested…

Nowadays, we have videos, blog posts, and vlogs that help entertain and educate us. This is why real gold can be found in being a good influencer and brand ambassador.

All businesses strive to achieve customer satisfaction, but some look for customer delight. It is necessary for such businesses to learn about customers’ feedback as it helps them to grow. As a business owner, you would want to satisfy your customers with the best experience and keep them committed to your company. But if you do not try to find out your customer’s response to using your product, you will never be able to provide them with an ideal experience. Product promotions and advertisements can be an excellent way…

Beyond measuring TV’s impact on Sales outcomes, attribution can also be used to gain deeper insight into the performance of specific campaign variables such as message, creative, target audience, media schedule, ad placement, format and length, among others. With pressure building for brands to get the best possible Return On Investment (ROI) from their ad spend, attribution is at the heart of mounting…

Creating impactful ads that drive Sales is a lifetime pursuit for many creatives. You just need to look at the weeklong festival of video advertising that takes place every June in Cannes, France, to see just how seriously the business of communication is taken. But, for the most part, events such as Cannes Lions showcase million and multi-million-pound campaigns that have been worked on by global teams over months and months, guided by client teams, themselves with multiple roles dedicated to advertising. Most businesses…

What metrics actually define a successful event? Is it a long list of potential new customers? Or is it the number of individuals you “checked in” at the booth? Either way, most experienced marketers know that less than five percent of all leads acquired at a trade show actually turn into customers. So, event marketers need to turn to metrics outside of “new leads” if they’re looking to impress their CMO. Executives are looking for meaningful metrics that paint a complete picture of how the event was received by not only…
