What can brands do to improve the outcomes of their digital marketing efforts by working with influencers? How can they harness the power of influencer marketing?
As a content and social media marketing person, I often pondered these questions.

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?
It always amazes me why companies would rather focus on acquiring new customers through social media than care for existing ones.

Inbound marketing is rocking the socks of Asian marketers. Well, at least according to HubSpot’s latest State of Inbound Survey focusing on Asia.
Apparently, 3 out of 4 marketers in Asia prefer inbound to outbound approaches in marketing. Moreover small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) prefer inbound over outbound.
