Nobody reads blogs anymore. Many blogs are just egoistic exercises in self-aggrandizement.
Besides, consumers no longer trust these so-called “social media influencers” with their #OOTDs (Outfits Of The Day), selfies, and larger-than-life egos.

Do you know that companies are literally losing billions of dollars each year by pissing off their customers? Or that it costs 6 to 7 times more to acquire a new customer than to keep an existing one?

When was the last time you read, heard or viewed a compelling brand story?
Every single day, we are inundated with hundreds and thousands of itsy bitsy stories. Served in bite-sizes, these seemingly endless anecdotes reach us through our ubiquitous digital devices.
Guilty pleasures. That’s something many of us suffer from. Especially when it comes to consuming online content.
We scroll through never-ending feeds of the sizzling and sensational. From celebrity confessions, adorably cute animals, to gruesome murders, religious riots and the latest episode of “Who should we publicly shame today?”
Ever created a “perfect” ad or content, only to find that nobody gave a hoot?
Well, the problem probably lies in your failure to understand who your target audiences are, and what attracts them.
OK, you are a complete newbie to digital marketing. And your customers are businesses not consumers.
How can a B2B company like yours make use of digital marketing? After all, B2B marketing is very much a face-to-face deal involving a generous meal and a hand shake right?
Visual content marketing is the new digital black. In an attention-starved digitally distracted world, images and videos rule.
As I’ve previously written in Visual Content Marketing: Insights from Asia, 90% of the information transmitted to the brain is visual. Moreever, our brain processes images 60,000 times faster than text.
