Building a meaningful brand requires patience, genuine value, and trust, focusing on audience engagement rather than vanity metrics.
SMS is one of the most underused answers to that problem. Texts get opened, they feel personal, and the barrier to respond is lower than almost any other channel. When you ask a question, people answer. And what comes back can become some of your most compelling content.
In a world where audiences are flooded with content, cutting through the noise requires more than visibility. Organizations increasingly invest in storytelling and narrative strategists to shape everything from brand voice to internal alignment.
A staggering 85% of respondents were worried their brand is not being used correctly within their organisation. Given the huge levels of investment that businesses make into their brand, this may be seriously jeopardising the integrity of Marketing's efforts.
As the market grows increasingly saturated with traditional digital content, brands are exploring new ways to stand out by engaging more than just sight and sound. Advances in augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), spatial audio and other immersive technologies are opening the door to richer, more memorable brand experiences that feel interactive rather than interruptive. The challenge is knowing how to experiment thoughtfully and how to use these tools to deepen connection without novelty overshadowing their purpose.
