WEEK ONE - Traditional vs The Future
Traditional Marketing vs what marketing is now
What’s changed? What’s stayed the same? You can’t expect to talk to your customers like your company did even 10 years ago. How do you stay on top of how marketing is evolving? Where do you get marketing news? What’s your “thing”? What do people say about you behind your back? Some call it a competitive advantage, others call it a superpower. Either way, you need to understand what your “thing” will be.
