Can you read minds?

Because Margo Aaron (I’m a huge fan, you should subscribe to her newsletter now!) said you should, if you want to be a good marketer. In this article (https://lnkd.in/dqZKHdhw), she gave a great example. If someone says “𝗜 𝘁𝗿𝘆 𝘁𝗼 𝗰𝗼𝗼𝗸 𝟯𝘅 𝗮 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸.

What I learned from creating a video for a client

Few months ago, I worked with Lactalis (Hong Kong), a French company specialising in dairy products with brands such as Président and Galbani. 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲𝐬 𝐟𝐫𝐨𝐦 𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐧𝐜𝐞?

Do you know your target audience?

To the question “𝘞𝘩𝘰 𝘪𝘴 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘥𝘶𝘤𝘵 𝘧𝘰𝘳?”, it is FORBIDDEN to answer “Everyone”.

The secret to doing your own PR

Today, I watched a replay of the Masterclass “The Secret to doing your own PR” given by Odette Barry [she/her] and Lynda Williams on Launchpad.

Leaflet is NOT dead.

𝐋𝐞𝐚𝐟𝐥𝐞𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐝𝐞𝐚𝐝. Sorry if my previous post was misleading. Handing out a leaflet on the street corner does not work. We all agree on that.

What is wrong with this strategy?

When I leave my building, I pass a bank. For the past few days, two ladies have been standing in front of the bank trying to hand out leaflets to passersby. From my point of view, it’s such a bad marketing strategy. I and all other pedestrians behave in the same way. We avoid walkingContinue reading “What is wrong with this strategy?”
