Read this part twice, "in order to identify issues and THEN address them." Seek to understand and then to solve. Also...processes can be tested; communications can be tested. Not everything is/or requires a tech solution. #citizenexperience #equity #efficiency #bpr

"Lose all the indulgent cock about courage and possibilities and transparency. We aren’t saving the world. We are serving it coffee. Remember that brand positioning, whatever you call it, is what we want our customers to think when they think about us. Nothing more." Brands, know your place. #brandstrategy

Building Trust or Driving Leads? Why the Best Marketing Strategies Do Both It’s surprising how often businesses treat branding and demand generation as opposing forces, choosing one at the expense of the other. But here’s the thing—both are revenue drivers, and both are critical for sustainable growth. ✅ Brand builds trust and loyalty. People want to buy from people—and businesses—they trust. A strong brand helps you create that emotional connection, making it easier to win customers and keep them coming back. ✅ Demand captures interest. It drives quick wins, filling your pipeline and delivering results today. This might sound like Marketing 101, but it’s a strategy that’s too often overlooked. In competitive markets, a strong brand isn’t just a “nice-to-have”—it’s what keeps your business human, differentiated, and resilient as new players enter. Check out my latest blog post https://lnkd.in/g4VJ8s2z to learn more about why brand and demand need to work hand-in-hand. (Yes, I just did that.) Would love to hear—how does your team balance long-term brand-building with short-term demand-gen goals?

Great Article... "Share of Culture" versus "Share of Voice" "Brands can establish processes and programs aimed at serving the unique needs of individual customers via the social media channels they prefer" Engage consumer where THEY are and listen with intent!! Then amplify what connects through paid channels = authentic connects + optimizes paid media!! #BrandStrategy #ConusmerInsights #voiceoftheconsumer #insights #mrx #consumerbehavior

This fall, brands are at a crossroads: dive into the political buzz or keep things neutral? With political ad spending set to break records, marketers need to be strategic to avoid alienating their audience. Staying true to your brand values is crucial, whether you choose to engage politically or not. For those opting to engage, targeting high-value customer segments with tailored messages can capitalize on the heightened political interest. Alternatively, brands looking to avoid the political noise might find solace in out-of-home (OOH) advertising, offering a less contentious way to connect with consumers. #MarketingStrategy #PoliticalAds #BrandMessaging #OOH

Insight delivers results at the top of the funnel. Here’s how. Your top-of-the-funnel (TOTF) acquisition—be it on landing pages, newsletters, or even here on LinkedIn—should deliver valuable industry insights to your audience.  They’ll learn something. You’ll generate a quality lead. That’s a rare win-win early in the funnel. How should you craft your insights? You’ve got to provide strategic information in a bite-size chunk. Try offering:  👉 Comparison grids or charts that highlight your offering alongside industry trends. 👉 Infographics that visually present key information. 👉 ROI calculators that clearly demonstrate your value in numerical terms. 👉 Connections between your offering and current events. When targeted effectively, these insights can drive measurable results, enhancing both your credibility and lead generation.

Annual #PR predictions post coming at ya (this time in a *new & improved* format thanks to our partner BrandSlap). I know you've been on the edge of your seat in anticipation! 📧 Email isn’t going anywhere, but AI inundation abounds. Bot pitches are clogging journalists' inboxes. We'll have to lean on other channels like X, LinkedIn and QWOTED for pitching. 📰 Publications as a piece of the puzzle. "Traditional media is dead and founder-led comms is the future" was the common refrain this year. What I believe to be true about that statement is that we'll be doing more comms via other channels in 2025 — LinkedIn, speaking, internal, short-form video, etc. Wrote about this recently for MarketingProfs (in the comments). 📐 We’re on the cusp of a breakthrough in PR measurement. More on that in the video, but I am impressed by what I am seeing from tools like Memo. 🤝 Are events back... for real this time? Based on what I am hearing from clients, we'll see a comeback next year for in-person activities. I am talking interesting, mid to large-scale events with cool activations and knowledgeable speakers… not desksides :). What did I miss?
