Talk at Tanween 2020: Empathy Marketing

Sometimes referred to as Empathetic Marketing or Empathy-based Marketing, Empathy marketing is a term popping up everywhere by marketers and agencies that prioritize consumer-centric messaging and impact. We have seen the evolution of marketing since 1450 with the first mass-production of flyers and brochures. What next? With tools like big data, server farms, and information accessibility it is more important now than ever to function from a moral value system of service and global betterment. The foundation of this vision is the journey of the individual consumer.

About “Getting Out There in a Big Way” & 100% Visibility

When you search “Personal Branding Services”, you’re met with design agencies promising a polished visual representation of who you are, copywriters promising a specific tone on your website, and motivational speakers promising that when you know who you’re talking to, you can get out there in a big way and create a community.

MARKETING TEXTBOOKS ARE INVALID – Why you need to reconsider your personal branding strategy

As many of us shift into the new new normal of relaxed pandemic safety regulations, I’ll be the first to admit that promotion (for personal or company use) and feelings are WEIRD.

There’s no longer a textbook solution to move forward! These are not predictable days, especially for human emotions, which marketing is based on.

For the first time, we have all had our stand-alone experience. The media audiences consumed over the past year, the curation of their social feeds, the people they have been living with in quarantine, and the causes they have emotionally invested in don’t follow the traditional stance of “demographic profile”. It’s not about the age, gender, or income bracket of your dream audience. It’s about their goals, frustrations, and motivations

Using a CTA (Call To Action) to promote yourself

Any time you have been told to take an action (press a button, watch a video, listen to something, buy something, take a decision, followup, consider a concept, or subscribe) you have been presented with a call to action. This may have happened in a phone call from your friend, while looking at a website, while reading a post, while watching a show, or even while reading a cereal box.
