‘Customer experience’ refers to putting the customer and their needs at the center of everything a company does. It means identifying all the touchpoints – individual interactions – throughout each customer journey and designing each of those touchpoints to deliver what the customer needs flawlessly. As the customer moves through the journey, from touchpoint to touchpoint, they also move through the buying cycle, from Awareness to Consideration, to Preference, to Purchase and hopeful

For the 173rd episode of The Marketing Book Podcast, I interviewed Nick Westergaard, author of Brand Now: How to Stand Out in a Crowded, Distracted World. I’m generally (and perhaps unfairly) suspicious of books with the word “brand” in the title because I agree with Bob Hoffman, The Ad Contrarian, who maintains “There’s No BS […].

With all the hustle and bustle of the world, it is all too often that we forget the driving human lifeforce that exists in all of us: Helping one another and making an impact on someone else’s life. Why shouldn’t that apply to the business world too? As a social impact director, my job is to ensure that my organization is giving back to the community around us in meaningful and impactful ways.

Stop me if you’ve heard this one. Two psychiatrists walk by each other in the hallway. Each says, “Good morning.” After they pass, each one thinks, “I wonder what he really meant by that.”. Have a look at the picture. What do you see? If you are in marketing, you probably see a visual of something you work to optimize every day. It’s the representation of marketing process and efficiency.

Direct mail has consistently remained a powerful tool in the marketer's arsenal, but in an age of digital dominance, its effectiveness hinges on the strategic integration of behavioral science. 💡 When you incorporate powerful behavioral science principles into your direct mail marketing strategies, you can prompt the hardwired decision-making shortcuts your audience relies on — and that automatically unlocks new avenues for engagement, conversion, and brand loyalty.

Some might say that press releases are as useful today as fax machines. Why send your news to an editor who acts as a gatekeeper in deciding whether or not to publish your information? Doesn’t it make more sense to control your content and spread the word through social media, your blog and email? While this might be true, especially in B2C marketing, chances are that your B2B customers are still going to trade publications for specialized industry-wide news.

A PDF, short for portable document format, is commonly used to view shared documents. The PDF format preserves a document’s formatting, which means you can look at the document on any device. But the key word here is “view” -- you can’t edit a PDF without using a specific PDF-editing tool, which is where things get tricky. If you’ve got a ton of data already formatted in a PDF, you don’t want to waste time manually re-entering that data into an Excel sheet.

To all of you millennials reading this, I’m sorry you had to grow up with the Kardashians. I’m sorry that real Rock ‘N Roll only exists on classic radio stations now. I’m sorry that you’re living in an era when Snoop Dogg hangs out with Martha Stewart and not 2Pac. But don’t fret — for today’s blog post, I am bringing back the dulcet tones of a true O.G. — Skee-Lo.

Cards Against Humanity is more than just a game to me -- it led to an epiphany that shaped the way my company developed its product story around content personalization. If you think about it, playing Cards Against Humanity and personalizing content are surprisingly similar actions. Both require you to know your audience members, understand what resonates with them, and deliver a relevant message.

Recent research shows that only 50% of B2B organizations state that they have good alignment between their marketing and sales teams. This lack of alignment tremendously impacts the ability to meet business goals, and is a limiting factor for building and maintaining customer relationships. While many B2B organizations continue to struggle with aligning their marketing and sales teams, they can take practical steps to unify both teams and simplify their overall approach.

Keeping up with content marketing trends can often feel like a giant game of stop-and-go. On one hand, it takes me about two seconds to find a fresh article or blog post about how one technology or tactic is going to completely revolutionize the way we do marketing. But five minutes after the read, inspired to try something new, I return to my job where our content marketing engine continues to chug along as per usual—revolutions have given way to incremental tweaks and improvements that continu

In the B2B marketing toolkit, white papers can be a powerful option for reaching decision-makers and experts, presenting them with interesting information that improves their perception of your organization's competence and thought leadership. That said, a poorly executed whitepaper will not only be unable to influence your desired audience but will also come with significant costs that other assets won't incur.
