Probably the most game-changing advertisement ever made. Apple x Riddley Scott x 1984. It wasn't just an ad — it was a cultural moment. A direct hit at the status quo, aimed squarely at IBM's dominance, it introduced the world to the Macintosh and the idea of "thinking different." The visuals? Bold. The message? Clear. You weren't just buying a computer — you were joining a revolution. And it worked. Today, we talk about disruptive marketing, but Apple and Ridley Scott were doing it before it was even a thing. 1984 wasn’t just a nod to George Orwell's novel. It was Apple telling the world they weren’t here to play by anyone’s rules. Enjoyed this? Follow Oliver Alan Stafurik for daily startup & VC insights ✋🏼

Yet, they dominate. How? These giants understood that it's not about being first. It's about being better 🏆. They looked at the playbook, saw the gaps, and dared to think differently 🤔. They redefined user experience, streamlined processes, and broke the status quo 💪. Their journeys remind us: You're never too late to disrupt, innovate, and lead 🌟. Whether you're launching a startup, pivoting your career, or introducing a new product, the game isn't over because you didn't get there first 🎯. The question is, what gap can you identify? How will you redefine the norms in your field? 💡 #Leadership #Innovation #CareerDevelopment #Disruption #SoftwareEngineering

In the world of business, vision is everything. Just look at Elon Musk and his bold prediction for Tesla's future value. How does your vision transcend in the realm of digital marketing? Often, a pain point for business owners is to not overlook the power of a carefully crafted #ppc strategy. It's not just about running #GoogleAds, #AmazonAds, or #MicrosoftAds. It's about understanding and leveraging advanced technologies like AI- something Musk isn't overlooking for Tesla's growth. Your #digitalmarketing strategy should also align with your company's overall vision, and tackle not only sales but brand awareness and reputation as well. Uncertainties may arise, but a true digital marketing professional can turn these into opportunities. Reflect on your current strategies, do they truly embody your vision?

Here’s a nugget of wisdom I learned from my time at that company once called Facebook: you must innovate. If you innovate, you’re always first, and others will need to catch up with you. If you need to catch up with a competitor, it means you are already looking at a fast mover or an innovator, which means you can’t out-innovate that company. This creates a vicious loop: you need to catch up, your competitor keeps out-innovating, and so on. When you catch up, your customers’ attention moves to your competitor’s next big thing. When you embrace this vision, there is nothing else you can do but to keep innovating, and innovating fast. Innovation (and more precisely speed of innovation) is the true competition killer.

Understanding why Meta, Microsoft and Google can run a terrible company with decaying services that's also wildly profitable. The answer is simple: the customer, and by extension the service provided to the customer, is no longer the primary concern of a company. It's all about shareholder value. In modern capitalism, those who make short-term decisions (that invariably result in long-term pain and, in many cases, decline) are rewarded, whereas those who build sustainable businesses that actually innovate, and don’t treat their customers and employees like dirt, are ignored — if not actively maligned.

"You can". 🔥🔥🔥 Looking back at history, in 1985, Bill Gates pioneered the Microsoft operating system, which became the most widely used OS globally. Yet, even with such a monumental achievement, he couldn't foresee creating the world's best search engine. Fast forward to 1998, Larry Page introduced the first search engine. However, it was Mark Zuckerberg in 2004 who birthed the world's leading social network, Facebook. Despite its massive success, Zuckerberg didn't envision diving into short video content like TikTok. It's a reminder that success isn't always about following trends. The world is vast, with endless possibilities waiting to be explored. Innovation doesn't come from conforming; it comes from thinking outside the box. No one is born with groundbreaking ideas; they come from unconventional thinking. The good news? You can cultivate this skill. Beyond limitations lies the realm of out-of-the-box thinking. The next inventor won't create another light bulb or an upgraded operating system, nor will they replicate Facebook or a short video app. Instead, they'll innovate something entirely new. You have the power to invent something extraordinary, something beyond imagination. All it takes is a willingness to think differently and push the boundaries of what's possible.
