Every marketer dreams of basking in the limelight, but the struggle to boost exposure extends beyond content marketing - it's a Public Relations (PR) challenge. Almost every marketer has struggled with finding ways to enhance visibility. Overcoming this hurdle requires a strategic approach; this is where the digital PR power trio comes into play: influencers, press, and relationships. By leveraging the collective strength of these elements, marketers can creatively address exposure challenges and make a lasting impact.

Mastering video marketing on a budget is one of the smartest things you can do as an up-and-coming marketer. You may have heard content is king, but video stands out as real royalty. In 2023, online video accounted for 82.5% of all web traffic. Video is capable of capturing attention and driving engagement like no other. While you might associate great video campaigns with million-dollar budgets, that’s not always the case. The reality is that a compelling video marketing strategy is within reach, regardless of where your budgets are at. Integrating video into your strategic plan without breaking the bank is all about being savvy with your resources.

AI is revolutionizing the way we use social media. The new implications of AI equip marketers with optimization tools better than ever before, especially when it comes to social media strategies. The integration of AI with social media platforms involves leveraging AI algorithms and capabilities to enhance social media experiences, content delivery, and user interactions.

Content marketing is all about attracting people to your brand. One of the best ways to increase engagement through dynamic content is, you guessed it, video. The bond that video fosters between your company and the audience is one that static content couldn’t dream of achieving. Using people within videos has proven to be especially effective for businesses. Video marketing can serve as an emotional connection point for businesses to interact with potential clients in a media-packed world.

Old Disney movies, cartoons, prizes in cereal, Kool-Aid, Backstreet Boys, flip phones, cassette tapes, and Lip Smackers chapstick are the first things that come to mind when I think about nostalgia. Of course, these are just a few examples of things that evoke nostalgia for me personally. But in the grander scheme of things, anything from old photos to your favorite childhood snack can take you back in time. If you think about it, most of your all-time favorite songs are probably nostalgic for a memory, person, or a specific time period of your life. In a survey of 500 US consumers, 52% of respondents said they were more likely to buy a product if it reminded them of their childhood. Everyone loves to reminisce about the good ol’ days, making nostalgia a valuable tool for marketers to truly connect with their audience.
