It is an interactive session where we will take a good look at how content is no longer a luxury in the marketing mix, it's gone from a nice to have to a must-have and this is mostly due to the fact that consumers have changed. Literally, the way a human being's brain is wired today (mostly because of technology) compared to the way it was wired say 10-20 years ago will astound you, and what this means is that your customer now has expectations that you need to learn to meet in order to have success in marketing and most especially digital marketing. We will explore how the Information age has shifted our priorities and is shaping our economy - all this will link back to how digital content can bring you results - complete with case studies.
