Guiding principles
Adapt the Trend. The digital world is continually evolving, and as a result, so must our digital marketing. We need to commit ourselves to constantly aiming to improve and grow – and we mean really commit ourselves. We must put resources like time and money aside for digital marketing R&D. If we don’t want to be hopping on the next big bandwagon, we are going to have to put the time and effort into forecasting trends and creating our own – a much more lucrative approach than riding on the coat-tails of another brand’s genius.
How has Covid changed your job?
Covid has given an opportunity to uplift digital knowledge and acquire more insights into user behaviour and their activities in the digital space. When the entire world was isolated, and media consumption changed dramatically, marketers who benefited the most were the ones who focused mainly on precision and performance campaigns with the rise of e-commerce.
