None of us know how the net neutrality issue is going to play out yet, but at the very least we can assume that brands with scale and clout are likely to do better in a deregulated provider space than those who lack that level of influence.  Which begs the question – as consumers detox from social media addiction, and the over-supply of channels and content we have had to date looks set to consolidate, how does your brand intend to stay in touch? Are you looking at a community strategy for example, or are you opting to be an ecosystem? Will you partner, diversify, license or concentrate? How are you planning to keep people’s attention and focus? …see more

When this (pandemic) is all over, what will the opportunities look like? "Vastly different. Like a forest fire, it will destroy much of what we loved — people, places, things — and leave us with sorrow and mourning and bare ground. I’ll be surprised if half my regular restaurants, cafes, music venues will survive. But from the charred ground, all-new things will grow."

"What marketing concept do you wish you had invented? Mark Ritson : Net promoter score. Every over-trained marketing academic despises it because it is so simple and is used by pretty much every major company. Its simplicity and its difficulty and its centrality make it fantastic. And because academics hate it, I love it more." …see more

Because it brings diversity of thought, experience and ideas to the industry driving the technical innovations and civic solutions being deployed in our cities. It's hard for government agencies to promote diversity among companies seeking GovTech contracts when only somewhere around 3% of tech startups are led or founded by women. …see more

"Epic #B2B experiences are fueled by data, intelligence, and insights- it’s the biggest challenge and missed opportunity for marketing today. Data is foundational, without it we don’t know what to say, who to say it to, or when to say it. Good data drives informed actions. But, we’ve relied too long on CRM as our primary source of data - it’s just one piece of puzzle. #Marketing data is different. We care about people, campaigns, who people are, what they visit, how campaigns are moving them through the journey. To-date, we’ve had no other choice to manage this data and learn from it. We are plugging Marketo Engage right into the Adobe Experience platform. All of your data in one place, a unified profile of every person / account, in words you speak and understand. It’s like Thanksgiving for all of your data.” - Matt Zilli on stage at #AdobeSummit #MKTGNation …see more
