Get close to sales, seems obvious but that mythical gap between sales and marketing still a reality in many companies. Get deep into customer segmentation, delve into customer satisfaction and sales support to discover the conversations that are going on. What are the customer pain points, address these, showcase your success stories. Be as passionate about producing sales enablement material as you are about producing adverts.

use social media to engage

Social media is top of mind for marketers, so think search and share. It used to all be about search, but now its about sharing and Facebook is a great place to start doing this. Where else can you find a place where the average user spends 30 minutes a day on the site – it provides an excellent new way to engage. Avoid typical banner ads, make your Facebook experience rich, set up a page, share information, listen, entertain, target and share offers with customers. Tap into the frame of mind the users are in, be clever with content and encourage the use of the ‘likes’ feature. The new Facebook targeting tools enable you to focus campaigns and get over the low click through rates some reported in the early days. With new services like Facebook Places social location services and the new advertising models and tracking, its a great place to start engaging.

big ideas and creativity

The idea of the Big Idea has been around for decades. The big central proposition that stands at the core of the brand/campaign. Big ideas have evolved, become more conversation and embrace more emotional sensitivity in them. The best ideas are extendable and may evolve and take you on a journey rather than jump out at you immediately. Ideas are like relationships, some make an instant connection, others grow on you. The essence of a Big Idea is that it creates an emotional connection, and there are many ways of getting there.

make your brand meaningful

What do you stand for? Making your brand meaningful will evoke a emotional connection with customers, employees and everyone that touches you. Great brands are always evolving and key is to ensure the brand essence is an embodiment of the company strategy and culture. To be meaningful a brand has to be at the heart of the company and bring this to life in the hands of customers. Its not about painting the world red or blue with your brand colours, its about adding meaning to customers lifes, with what you stand for, creating a brand dialogue that is meaningful on a daily basis.
