The Marketing Profession Is continually evolving
Staying on top of Marketing trends is exciting but challenging.
My profession is marketing. At university I studied marketing and my life in corporate life were all marketing roles. What i have found is that whilst the fundamentals might stay the same it has become a very different world when it comes to the tools we use to build brands and create customer engagement.
Despite the fact that many would say that I am an ‘old world’ marketer, I have much to contribute. Especially when it comes to social media channels, big data, personalisation and artificial intelligence.
Long gone are the days when a ‘big idea’ would get enough cut through to create an incredible program. Now everything needs to be integrated to ensure that there is one brand experience.
Please enjoy this selection of blog posts and if you get a moment let me know what you think.
