What Does Being a "Disruptor" Mean?

Sarah Malcolm

I hear from brands, “I want to be the next Old Town Road.” In other words, the Next Big Thing, the hit of the summer, the viral sensation everyone’s talking about.

Whip Your Company Culture Into Shape

Sarah Malcolm

Either let something happen or get off your butt and do something about it. That attitude applies to how you live your life and your company culture.

Shares Aren't Enough to Measure Your Success

Sarah Malcolm

Marketing success isn’t as cut-and-dry as, say, a sports event, where the team with the most points wins.

An emphasis on social engagement.

Pros and Cons of Using Chatbots in Your Marketing

By Sarah Malcolm

My health insurance provider has a customer service chatbot that is useless. Every time I make a query, it tells me I can't access that information and to call customer service. What's the point of having a chatbot? That said, I have worked with chatbots that have been extremely helpful. It really can go either way.

Five Tips for Hiring to the Brand

By Amanda Bowen

Hiring for skills is important, but remember skills can be trained. Someone with less skill and experience might be the better “fit” than someone who ticks all the qualification boxes.

Did Your Website Show Up to Work Today?

Embrace the Power of Brand Beliefs

By Amanda Bowen

Talking about branding can sound like hocus-pocus. Our emphasis on what you want customers to feel and company values make branding discussions delve into gray areas more akin to psychology.

The Value of Brand Equity

By Amanda Bowen

A well-known brand name is priceless. So how do you get your name to be synonymous to your market as with a name like “Visa” and credit cards? It boils down to brand equity, an understanding of your clients’ emotions and feelings about your brand positioning. At its best, a good brand name leaves consumers referring to your product for the entire category, like “Jet-Ski” for personal watercraft or “Coke” for any soda beverage. But even if your real estate brand doesn't become the name for the market, the strong brand equity still helps customers feel confident about working with your company. How do you get there?
