By 2019, it was operating in eight Indian metros, and by August 2021, it had expanded into quick commerce, launching Dunzo Daily to deliver essentials in 19 minutes or less.

"Instead of starting with a product that we didn't feel like existed in the marketplace, we started with a mission that we felt like didn't exist, particularly in the beauty space," Cohen said. "We love that young people are turning to brands for not just products, but for the issues that they care about-and also that's what holds us accountable."

Companies enter new markets with momentum. Press coverage looks promising. Campaigns launch on schedule. Local teams are hired. Early dashboards suggest traction. Then progress slows. Customer interest plateaus. Partnerships take longer than expected. Internally, the conversation almost always turns to execution. Messaging must not be clear enough. The market probably needs more education. What I have learned is that this conclusion is usually wrong. What looks like market resistance is more often a signal that the brand is communicating from the wrong position.

Heat looks like validation, and validation looks like safety. It is hard to ignore a sector when customers start leaning forward at the same time investors do.

Unfortunately, many organizations are falling into the trap of only using AI to generate and localize content and neglecting human experience and precision. That's where this guide steps in to help you combine technology with a people-first approach to achieve global growth.

In a highly regulated industry like healthcare, safety, and stability create an inertia that often works against innovation.

Sign-making was treated like a commodity - orders in, banners out - but as thousands of signs came through his shop, he couldn't help but notice the difference between the good ones and the bad ones. He could see that every sign that left his shop was either helping a business get noticed, or letting it disappear in plain sight.

Putting yourself out there is difficult. Rejection is tough. And feeling like you've gotten the rug pulled out from under you is the worst. When you're in charge of business development, where you're responsible for growing your revenue within your current client portfolio as well as seeking out new potential opportunities, you can easily vacillate from feeling like a hero to feeling like a zero, depending on what kind of results you're getting from your efforts.

Spend half an hour exploring #StrategyTwitter or #MarketingTwitter and you'll quickly discover huge swathes of talented folks arguing passionately about the correct way to market brands. On one end of the spectrum you'll find the staunch strategists quoting lines from Sharp's How Brands Grow (which is well worth a read), while on the other end you'll find people posting fairly nauseating Gary Vaynerchuk quotes in serif fonts about how the number one rule in marketing is 'love'.
