Social and technological developments have transformed both the nature and impact of marketing. Previously, large sums of money could almost guarantee that a new campaign would be noticed, or that new branding would become iconic. Yet, with the onset of social media and the downturn in traditional media avenues, the primary platforms for marketing have become democratised. While access to such platforms may be easy and often cheap, they are competitive battlegrounds in which a marketer must vie for the customer’s attention with any number of distractions or competitors. Only through the value-based approaches outlined in Masterful Marketing will your marketing efforts stand out in this crowd and draw in customers.
