"Ads are all You need in marketing" Said a 51-year-old marketing intern. You've seen ads work magic on TV and online, so it's easy to think, "let’s run ads, and customers will come running" 🏃♂️💨 No business would fail if it was that easy. This was probably true in the 70s or 80s, when ads were basically equivalent to marketing. But that's really the tip of the iceberg in our era. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝗼𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗦𝗽𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗲 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗶𝘁𝘀🌐 Ads can shout, but conversations resonate. Platforms like X (as in Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube are where your customers hang out, interact with the world, share stories, and yes, even talk about their favorite brands. Engage with them here, and your brand becomes part of their daily chat. 💬 𝗔𝗹𝗹 𝗛𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗞𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗱𝗼𝗺 👑 In a world where everyone's selling stuff, content is your chance to give something. It's the advice, entertainment, and stories that turn a one-time visitor into a loyal fan. Serve up content that matters, and you'll be more than just another attention-seeker in their feed. 🍽️✨ 𝗦𝗘𝗢: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗦𝘁𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝘆 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝘀𝘁 🕵️ It's not about who shouts the loudest; it's about who gets found first. SEO is the art of being there when your customer Googles their little desires. It's not flashy (actually boarding), but it's effective, and it's what puts you on the map in the vast expanse of the internet. 🗺️📍 𝗘𝗺𝗮𝗶𝗹 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗸𝗲𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴: 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗧𝗼𝘂𝗰𝗵 💌 Unlike ads that broadcast to the masses, emails are personal, direct, and tailored just for them. It's the one-on-one conversation where you can share deals, stories, and a slice of your brand's personality straight to their inbox. Time it right, and you're not just in their feed; you're in their day. Although marketing is often seen as a straightforward tactic for growth, it takes way more than just a piece of clever ad. Marketing is a system made up of infrastructure, process, tools, creativity, and most importantly, consistent efforts and investments. If a secret shortcut ever existed, it wouldn't stay secret for long. #MonolineAsia #DesignfulStorytelling #BrandStrategy #ContentDesign #GrowthProcess #MarketingStrategy #MoreThanAds #ContentIsKing

How good is your story?👀 Are you even telling one with your brand? More than ever before, storytelling is king. Charismatic brands are those with a compelling story that resonates with their audience. Pivot how you talk about your offerings and translate the facts and figures into inspiring and emotive narratives. A 250ml cup of coffee is boring. How about a well-rested 20-minute break to recharge for what's ahead for the growth of your team? A high-resolution monitor might not mean anything. How about the cinematic moments every Sunday afternoon with your family? The price tag might be the only thing you're concerned about when buying a flawless diamond. But what about the unique promise it represents to your significant other? Storytelling is more than just wordplay. It's about the perspective you take and the value you are able to express. The same goes for your brand story. Find ways to demonstrate how your product or service has changed someone's life! With time and consistency, you'll connect with your audience in a whole new way. The best brands are also the best storytellers. Which one is your favorite? #Monoline.Asia #designfulstorytelling #brandstrategy #contentdesign #growthprocess

You ideal customers will always come back to you. Or they don’t… Have you ever wondered why your ideal customers don't ever bother showing up for you when our product and service are one of the best in quality in the market? Because, they don't care. ouch. “People are not interested in you. They are not interested in me. They are interested in themselves — morning, noon, and after dinner.” - Dale Carnegie #customerretention #targetaudience #businessbranding

Some say it is a marketing strategy. Some say it is a design exercise. Some say it is a buzzword. I'm sure there are dozens of definitions and interpretations you can find. We say, it is exactly what you believe to be true and, most importantly, how you use it, supporting your growth. Thoughts?

Customer-centric. Are we really? A business exists to solve problems - your customers' problems. It only makes logical sense to put them front and center in everything you do. The thing is, have you done your part before you ask your customers to be committed to your #brand? Do you really know them? What do they like/dislike? What are their needs/wants? Are you making their lives easier, or harder? Does your success as a business come from them being amazing with their lives? #Customer-centric is way beyond just a buzzword. When done right, it builds connection, trust and loyalty. Guess what. Over time, you won't invite them to your parties anymore. They invite you to theirs. You want long-term support? Treat them like friends and look out for them.

You are pouring money into things you don't need? Unlocking Effective Client-Agency Conversations Too often, we find ourselves in the same conversation loop with clients: ===== Client: "Perhaps it's time for us to change the logo." Agency: "Sounds great. Why is that?" Client: "We need to keep up. Everyone in the field is changing their logo." Agency: "Cool! What colors do you like?" ===== Client: "We want a new website." Agency: "Cool. Why is that? What's not working with the existing one?" Client: "It is just too old. It doesn't look good compared to our competitors." Agency: "Got it. Let's reskin your website." ===== Client: "We want an amazing video!" Agency: "On it! Do we want any celebrities? Perhaps a couple of influencers too?" ===== But here's the thing: the solution is often prescribed before understanding the problem. Are you really getting what you need? Sure, you'll end up with an amazing logo, website, video, or whatever it may be. But have you ever stopped to ask yourself why? Why does not having one bother you? Why is this particular solution the right fit? Why would your customers care? Why now? It might seem a little annoying at first, but why wouldn't you adopt a process that ensures your money is well spent? Let's make every penny count.
