Let me start this question from the last two years which has proven that collaboration is crucial for any company. Collaboration used to be something that was internal involves in conversational and external communication most happened by phone or email.

Leveraging Tech for optimised brand awareness and user engagement

What are the most promising marketing trends one should focus to increase brand awareness and customer engagement?
The megatrends are usually starting with adolescents, things like TikTok and social media and on different channels around the globe. TikTok is probably being known channel that is setting the stage. Yesterday I was in a traditional book store to buy a book for reading and that store used to be listing books based on sales number etc. Now, in the book store, they are rated on TikTok, so they are based on TikTok ratings. Even in the traditional industry like books, TikTok has become the channel for driving marketing which book to buy. If you can communicate directly, and if you are honest with your content creation I think that is the way going. You should always open the door for your teenagers and then you can set the stage on how you will take the strategies of marketing. Of course, this complies with all the types of branches if you go from manufacturing to pharmaceuticals to different kinds of business.

To answer this question I think we should go back to the basics of marketing. You need to understand what you are selling and who your customers are. By understanding your persona you can then choose the channel you want to prefer to communicate with your persona. That is my best advice. Persona does not have on all channels you will find them either on Whatsapp or on video channels. So, depending on your business nature rather than trying to connect on all the platforms find the platform that suits your business and be good at one channel at a time.

The last two years have taught all of us that we do not know what tomorrow brings. That means that if you are going to stay connected in the world that is changing so fast which we have seen now, you do not want to lock yourself on an Island or technology. Any technology you’re choosing should be possible to adapt to other technologies. I can mention the platform you are on today is Zoom which is not interoperable with Microsoft teams and other platforms. You should try to strive for having a vendor-agnostic approach for the other you get an open platform so that you can stay connected when the next shift is coming because that is coming for sure.

This has been my business for the last 20 years as I mentioned earlier to think for the technology at first. Video conferencing was introduced in 2007 that if you have a video conferencing device from 2007 is still relevant because it produces high-quality audio and video. Over the years we have seen different attempts for personalizing it with having desktop units on your desk that are dedicated to video conferencing which is my favourite by the way rather than using my PC.Then it has been attempted at two screens systems then it has been attempted at holograms and then for having the technology to blur your background and to send emoticons over a live video. I think that these recent innovations are less important and what more important is to have high audio and video quality and the ability to connect.You should not feel the need to talk to your IT to connect to a meeting it should be by a button or accepting the meeting invite that is what the user should be doing. We are the service provider and vendor agnostic.
